FABRIC
We build apparel that honors the strength, athleticism, and beauty of women runners, and we believe this begins with the fabrics and materials we put in our garments. We are curators of premium, technical fabrics for sport and life, always searching for the holy grail of high performance, high design, and high comfort. Our fabrics include tried and true favorites that have been in Oiselle's line from the beginning, and an always evolving list of new fabrics and technologies designed to run, race, recover, and rumble.
COMPRESSION
NYELLE™ COMPRESSION
Our Nyelle compression is a high-performance, high-durability fabric that feels incredibly soft and comfortable on the body. It's ideal for garments used rigorously and worn in high rotation as it maintains its stretch, recovery, and softness wash after wash. It crosses effortlessly from run to recovery to rumble, and is our go-to for compression bottoms and sports bras.
PLYA™ INTERLOCK COMPRESSION
(POLYESTER / SPANDEX)

Plya Interlock is our pinnacle performance compression fabric. Created specifically for sport, it moves with you thanks to unparalleled stretch and recovery. It provides high support with a lightweight, technical, and supremely soft feel, and excellent coverage and colorfastness in both solid colors and vibrant prints.
PLYA™ COMPRESSION
(POLYESTER / SPANDEX)
Our classic polyester-based compression fabric offers high compression and support, excellent moisture management, durability, and maintains its color and smooth hand feel wear after wear, wash after wash.
POWER PLYA™
(POLYESTER / SPANDEX)
A high performance compression fabric with superior compression for muscle support. You'll find this technical fabric in our most supportive bras and compression bottoms.
FLYOUT™ COMPRESSION
(NYLON / POLYESTER / SPANDEX)
Flyout compression is our warmest and most durable compression fabric. Made by Polartec® as part of their Power Stretch Pro™ line, it has a smooth, durable face and soft looped interior to trap warmth. High stretch and breathability make this fabric perfect for tights and outerwear.
REVERSIBLE BIRD HUG
(POLYESTER / SPANDEX)
Double-sided ultra peached stretch knit amazingness. It's hard to put the feel of Bird Hug into words because superlatives fall short. When felt for the first time, usually the response is simply "ohhh" followed by a need to put it on. The unique poly-spandex content makes the fabric both lusciously soft and gently compressive. Better yet, as a dual-ply knit, it's reversible and two times the fun.
STRETCH WOVEN
ROGA™ STRETCH WOVEN
(POLYESTER / SPANDEX)
Our beloved Roga fabric is unique thanks to a high level of spandex - 2-3x higher than most stretch wovens. The result is a beautiful, performance-optimized fabric with a high level of structure, ideal for shorts, dresses, skirts, and other pieces that need to have structure on the body without added weight. Roga fabric deftly manages moisture without clinging, and dries quickly.
FLYOUT™ STRETCH WOVEN
(NYLON / SPANDEX)
Featherweight and durable, Flyout Stretch Woven was inspired by our Roga fabric and optimized for hot weather running and those who prefer an ultralight weight fabric. It offers high-stretch, moisture wicking, and quick dry performance for road or trail.
SHOP FLYOUT STRETCH WOVEN STYLES
BREEZE™ STRETCH WOVEN
(POLYESTER / SPANDEX)
Breeze Stretch Woven is the perfect lightweight and flowy fabric for styles that cross from run to rumble. A subtle grid pattern is beautiful in both solid colors and paired with our signature prints.
KNITS
ARQUE™ PLYA
(POLYESTER / NYLON)
Arque is our one-of-a-kind collection, where seamless meets flawless. Chafe-free construction, anti-stink, and super wicking capabilities, without the overly compressive feel of other seamless on the market. The result is uniquely soft and lightweight garments with a beautiful fit and feel on the body. Our family of Arque fabrics each have a slightly different yarn blend optimized by style.
BIG STRIPE
(POLYESTER / RECYCLED POLYESTER)
A soft, cozy performance knit with a refined stripe. You can find Big Stripe fabric throughout our Big Stripe Collection of tops this spring!
HOVERFIT™
(POLYESTER / TENCEL / SPANDEX)
HoverFit is one of our most technical fabrics designed for the rigors of long runs in variable climates. Designed to adapt so you can keep running, HoverFit's ultra light weight and unique structure allows it to skim your body - easily managing the movement and evaporation of sweat, without clinging. This means that it feels like a cloud but wears like a protective shield.
LUX™
Classic Lux™ (polyester / spandex)
The cashmere of running, Lux is soft like butter - but ready to sweat it out and meet the challenge of any hard effort. A staple in our line for years, we're constantly finding new ways to use Lux in everything from tops to tights and accessories. The poly content means it wicks and breathes, while the spandex allows that just-right stretch. Better yet, it gets better with age - durable and increasingly soft.
Light Lux™ (polyester / spandex)
Our hot weather friends don't want to miss out on Lux love, so along came the perfect solution: a summer-weight version of the softest fabric known to womankind. All of the soft, all of the stretch, and all of the wonderful rich colors are what Light Lux brings to the table. Tech enough to run in, soft enough to sleep in, beautiful enough to wear any time at all.
Heavyweight Lux™ (polyester / spandex)
A weightier version of our classic weight, Heavyweight Lux is designed specifically to answer the needs of more supportive styles, such as tights, capris, and compression bottoms. But it's the same beautiful Lux you've come to know and love... like a hug, exceptionally soft and durable wash after wash.
TEE-LUX
(POLYESTER / TENCEL / SPANDEX)
The perfect fabric for the perfect tee; soft, durable, drapey, takes color, and is up for a run at any time! Tee-Lux, rhymes with deluxe, and you'll see why. The blend: poly, rayon, spandex. Pre-shrunk. Soft like butter. Sleepwear tested. Runner loved and approved!
QUILT LAYER
(POLYESTER / COTTON / SPANDEX)
Like a mash up between your favorite tee and a quilted coverlet, Quilt Layer is a fabric and insulation combo that will give all your hoodies and sweatshirts a run for their money. With a lightweight poly fill between layers of softness, it's an ideal mid-weight. The cotton content makes it soft against the skin, and the mélange effect gives it a lovely warm appearance from the get go.
NATURAL
WAZZIE WOOL™
(MERINO WOOL / SPANDEX)
Wazzie Wool is our ZQ certified, responsibly sourced merino wool. Merino sheep have a light and breathable coat that keeps them comfortable in both the winter, as well as the hot New Zealand summer. That makes it an ideal performance fabric, helping runners stay both warm and cool as the temperature dictates. Merino wool breathes and manages moisture better than any synthetic fiber, and has the ability to absorb perspiration without making you feel damp and uncomfortable. It is also naturally odor resistant.
FLYOUT WOOL
(POLYESTER / WOOL)
Wool is nature's performance fiber. Combined with polyester, it makes for a super fabric that's known for its versatility. Specifically, wool is the best at keeping you warm in cool climates, but also keeping you cool in warm climates. Flyout Wool was an instant winner in our line, not only for its ability to work in multi-climates, but also because it is exceptionally soft, and holds up - wash after wash. Even people who say they don't typically wear wool, love this fabric.
