What exactly is scuba suede jersey

Scuba jersey gets its name from the thick, elastic knits originally made for neoprene wetsuits, which is why it has that sturdy structure and the beautiful, structured drape that doesn't look slack. With this version, that scuba character is combined with a suede touch finish, so the surface feels soft and matte instead of smooth and shiny. The result is a fabric with enough body to hold its shape, yet still supple enough to wear comfortably. The blend of polyester and elastane makes the fabric stretch in all directions, while the suede layer adds texture and depth to the black. It's that combination of sturdiness, stretch, and a soft hand that makes scuba suede jersey so loved by sewists looking for something different from ordinary jersey.
