About pique cotton
Pique is the classic polo-shirt knit — a textured, waffle-like surface that is more breathable and structured than flat jersey, giving polos their signature look and durability.
Available in cotton, poly-cotton and performance blends, pique balances a premium hand with the easy-care durability that corporate, golf and retail polos demand.
