THOM KROM W TS 57526 Woman Top - Black Viscose Stretch Jersey 74% Viscose 9% Elastane Italian FW25/26

Viscose Stretch Jersey. 74% Viscose. 9% Elastane. German Design.

The THOM KROM W TS 57526 is a women's top in 74% viscose / 17% polyester / 9% elastane stretch jersey, black. At 9% elastane, this is a mechanically stretching fabric — the elastane fibres run through the jersey knit structure and provide genuine bi-directional stretch with full recovery; the top moves with the body and returns to its cut dimensions after each movement. The 74% viscose content dominates the surface character: breathable, naturally cool against the skin, with a slight surface sheen in black that activates in directional light. The 17% polyester provides dimensional stability — the jersey holds its cut geometry through repeated wear and washing without the permanent stretch distortion that high-viscose fabrics without polyester can develop. Women's, XS–L. Made in Italy. Fall/Winter 25/26.

Why This Top Is Different

• 74% viscose / 17% polyester / 9% elastane stretch jersey: Three-fibre jersey knit where each component performs a distinct structural role: viscose at 74% is the dominant fibre and determines the fabric's surface character (breathability, hand feel against the skin, the slight directional sheen in black that activates in light); polyester at 17% provides dimensional stability — the polyester fibres resist permanent stretch distortion, meaning the jersey maintains its cut dimensions and does not bag or deform at stress points (neckline, armhole, hem) through repeated wear and washing; elastane at 9% is the mechanical stretch component — at 9%, the elastane content is sufficient to produce genuine bi-directional stretch with full elastic recovery; the top stretches to accommodate body movement and returns precisely to its resting dimensions; the 9% elastane is a higher proportion than in most casual stretch tops (where 3–5% is standard) and produces a more controlled, body-following fit than lower-elastane garments
• Stretch jersey vs woven drape: The W TS 57526 is a stretch jersey construction (knit structure with elastane) rather than a woven drape fabric (like the W SK 9326 and W SK 9426 viscose skirts); in a jersey knit, the fabric's loops interlock at the knit level to produce inherent stretch that is then supplemented by the 9% elastane; the result is a fabric that stretches and recovers in both length and width directions; the viscose's drape property (present in both woven and knit forms) manifests differently in a stretch jersey: rather than the clean hanging fall of a woven viscose skirt, the jersey top's viscose content produces a draped stretch fit — the fabric follows the body contour as it stretches, and the viscose's surface sheen shifts with the fabric's tension and the light angle
• 9% elastane in black viscose jersey: The black surface of the W TS 57526 carries the same directional sheen property as the W SK 9326 skirt (viscose filaments reflecting light at varying angles across the fabric surface) but in a stretch jersey, this sheen is dynamic: as the jersey stretches over the body, the angle of the viscose threads relative to the light source changes, and the sheen shifts across the top's surface with body movement; in areas of greater stretch (bust, shoulders), the sheen reads differently from areas at rest; this is a surface character specific to black viscose stretch jersey and is not present in matte stretch fabrics
• Breathable in FW25/26: The 74% viscose content's natural cellulose breathability means the W TS 57526 does not trap heat against the body despite the 9% elastane's close fit — viscose's moisture absorption moves perspiration away from the skin surface; the top is appropriate for layering under heavier FW25/26 outer garments without the heat retention of a synthetic-dominant stretch top
• German design minimalism: THOM KROM's no-logo, no-excess design approach applied to the stretch jersey top; the design is the cut, the fit, and the fabric's surface character; no applied decoration
• Women's, XS–L: Four sizes; the stretch jersey's 9% elastane content means the top adapts to body shape within each size range more than a non-stretch woven garment would
• Made in Italy: THOM KROM German design, Italian production; same production origin as the brand's other FW25/26 women's pieces in this catalogue
• Unlike synthetic stretch tops (where the fabric is warm against the skin and does not breathe), the W TS 57526's 74% viscose provides natural breathability within the stretch jersey construction; unlike pure viscose tops (which stretch permanently under tension without elastane recovery), the 9% elastane ensures the top returns to its cut dimensions after each wear

Body measurements. The 9% elastane stretch jersey adapts within each size range — if between sizes, size down for a closer fit or size up for a more relaxed fit.

The Moment You Put It On

The stretch jersey settles immediately — the 9% elastane drawing the fabric into contact with the body across its full surface, the 74% viscose providing the skin-contact quality: cool initially, then body-temperature neutral, breathing rather than trapping heat. In black, the stretch jersey's surface is active: the viscose threads' directional sheen shifts as the fabric stretches and relaxes across the body — in areas of greater stretch (bust, shoulders), the sheen angle changes, the black reading with fractional tonal variation across the top's surface in directional light. At rest, the jersey returns precisely to its cut dimensions. The THOM KROM cut: the top fits to the body without excess fabric at the sides, the hem and neckline in their designed positions without pulling or riding.

This is the W TS 57526 — viscose stretch jersey, German design, Italian production, FW25/26.

The Art of Viscose-Dominant Stretch Jersey

Stretch jersey fabrics are typically constructed with synthetic dominance — polyester or nylon at 80–90%, elastane at 10–20% — because synthetic fibres are easier to knit at consistent tension and more dimensionally stable under the stretch-recovery cycles of elastane blending. Viscose-dominant stretch jersey at 74% viscose is a more demanding construction: viscose fibres have lower tensile strength than polyester fibres and swell when wet, which creates tension on the knit structure during washing that can cause permanent dimensional distortion if the polyester matrix is insufficient; the 17% polyester in the W TS 57526 is the dimensional stabiliser that allows the 74% viscose content to be viable in a stretch jersey construction — the polyester fibres carry the structural load at the knit loops while the viscose fibres provide the surface character and breathability. The result is a stretch jersey where the surface is viscose-dominant (breathable, sheen-active, natural against the skin) but the structural performance is polyester-stabilised (dimensionally consistent through washing and repeated stretch cycles). THOM KROM specifies this three-fibre blend at 74/17/9 for the W TS 57526 as a construction that achieves what a purely synthetic stretch top cannot: the surface character and breathability of a viscose-dominant fabric, with the stretch performance and dimensional stability required for a fitted top in daily wear. German design minimalism at the material specification level — the fabric that does exactly what the design requires, in Italian production.

How to Wear It

• Paired with the W SK 9326 or W SK 9426 viscose skirts: The W TS 57526 top's stretch jersey in black above the W SK 9326's woven viscose skirt in black — two black viscose garments with different surface characters (stretch jersey above, woven drape below); the top's body-following fit above the skirt's fluid fall; a THOM KROM viscose monochrome look with material contrast built in
• Under a THOM KROM padded jacket (W B 326 or W J 21326): The lightweight 0.45kg stretch top as the inner layer beneath the padded jacket; the viscose breathability prevents heat build-up under the padded outer layer; the stretch jersey's close fit ensures no excess fabric bulk at the torso beneath the jacket
• Tonal black layering: The stretch top as the foundation layer in a full black FW25/26 look — top, skirt, outer jacket; the different surface textures of each layer (stretch jersey, woven drape, quilted polyamide) readable in black within a single colour system
• Standalone in transitional conditions: The 74% viscose breathability and 9% elastane close fit make the top appropriate as a standalone piece in mild autumn conditions; the stretch jersey provides adequate coverage and body temperature regulation without requiring an outer layer in temperatures above approximately 15–18°C

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold on gentle cycle — the 74% viscose content swells when wet; handle the wet garment gently and do not wring; use a mesh laundry bag to prevent the jersey loops from snagging on other garments or the machine drum
• Hang to dry or lay flat — do not tumble dry; the combination of wet-swollen viscose fibres and the knit structure's elastane tension makes tumble dryer heat particularly damaging to this fabric type: high heat can permanently alter the elastane's recovery properties and cause the viscose to shrink unevenly within the jersey knit
• Do not tumble dry on high heat under any circumstances
• Iron on low heat through a pressing cloth if needed — the 9% elastane is heat-sensitive; do not iron directly; steam works well for releasing wrinkles without direct heat contact
• Do not bleach
• Store flat or hanging — avoid folding at stress points (shoulders, bust) for extended periods as the elastane can develop a set deformation at fold lines under compression
