High weight, stretchable, and breathable fabrics and method of making the same

A weighted fabric, comprising:

• a first yarn having a ply of between 2 and 4;
• having a denier of about 130 to about 170;
• and having a filament of about 130 to about 160;
• consisting of at least one cationic dyeable polyester, and being present in a weight percent of about 80 to about 95 percent;
• a second yarn knit with the first yarn, the second yarn having a ply of between 1 and 2, having a denier of about 160 to about 360;
• having a filament of 1 to 2;
• consisting of at least one thermoplastic urethane fiber, and being present in a weight percent of about 5 to about 20 percent, based on the total weight of the fabric,
• wherein the weighted fabric has a stretchability along the width of greater than 50 percent and along the length of about 10 percent to about 20 percent.

A weighted fabric, comprising:

• a first yarn having a ply of 2 to 4;
• a denier of about 150 to 170;
• and a filament of about 135 to 155, wherein the first yarn comprises consists of at least one disperse and/or cationic dyable polyester fibers, and wherein the first yarn is present in an amount of about 80 weight to about 90 weight percent;
• and
• a second yarn knit with the first yarn, the second yarn having a ply of 1 or 2, a denier of about 180 to 360 and a filament of 1, wherein the second yarn consists of at least one thermoplastic polyurethane fiber, and wherein the second yarn is present in an amount of about 10 weight percent to about 20 weight percent, wherein the weight percents are based on the total weight percent of the weighted fabric,
• wherein the weighted fabric has a yard weight of greater than 16 ounces per square yard,
• wherein the weighted fabric has an air permeability of about 100 to about 120 cubic feet of air per minute per square foot of the weighted fabric, and
• wherein the fiber has a thickness of about 0.040 mm to about 0.060 mm.
