double knits
Dense jersey material
Double knits are fabrics made by interlocking two layers of knitted material, creating a thicker, more stable textile that resists curling and stretching.
The technique produces fabric with the same appearance on both sides.
Double knits gained popularity in the 1970s for their durability and ease of sewing: She made a pantsuit from polyester double knit.
The term often evokes that era's fashion.
