PLA Modal Jersey Knit Fabric, about 225gsm, width 140cm. Blend 79% PLA / 21% Modal in a jersey knit (50s+50D) for soft hand-feel aimed at T-shirts, polo shirts, sportswear and underwear programs. PLA is bio-based from renewable feedstock; Modal adds softness. No Spandex in this base fabric—stretch is jersey-construction stretch. Antibacterial performance and any biodegradation / composting claims for this blend must be confirmed with lab reports to the buyer target before bulk (Modal content limits full-fabric biodegradation vs PLA fiber alone). Model KIGI-PLA-JERSEY-225 (Factory Ref. QM221208C). Make-to-order. MOQ 1000m per color (usual); sample yardage available, freight collect.
Product overview
This jersey combines 79% PLA with 21% Modal for a softer next-to-skin knit than 100% PLA programs, at a heavier about 225gsm hand versus our lighter PLA/Modal/Spandex jersey. It targets T-shirt, polo and sportswear cut-and-sew programs that want bio-based PLA content without elastane in the base fabric.
Confirm gsm, hand-feel, antibacterial test method and any biodegradation / industrial-composting language to your buyer target with a lab report before bulk.

Frequently asked questions
What does 79% PLA / 21% Modal and 50s+50D mean?
PLA is the main bio-based fiber; Modal adds softness. 50s+50D describes the yarn combination used in this jersey knit. Exact yarn and density are confirmed to your target before bulk.
How is this different from KIGI-PLA-JERSEY-170?
Jersey-170 is PLA/Modal/Spandex (20/62/12) at about 170gsm with stretch from Spandex. KIGI-PLA-JERSEY-225 is PLA/Modal (79/21) at about 225gsm with no Spandex—higher PLA share, heavier jersey hand.
Is the fabric biodegradable or antibacterial?
PLA can follow a biodegradation path under suitable conditions, but this blend includes Modal—so do not treat the whole fabric as fully biodegradable unless confirmed by test. Antibacterial claims are a confirmable path matched to your buyer’s test method before bulk.

What is the typical weight and width for KIGI-PLA-JERSEY-225?
Typical weight is about 225gsm; width 140cm. Exact finished gsm and width depend on dyeing and finishing—we confirm before sampling lock.
