- a first circular knitted fabric portion;
- and
- a second circular knitted fabric portion,
- at least one of the circular knitted fabric portions comprising a performance fabric that has been circularly knit at 17 gauges or higher, the performance fabric having an elasticity such that the performance fabric has a tendency to sag by an amount that is greater than a threshold amount of sag determined by a finishing process, such that the sag would interfere with the finishing process if the performance fabric were circularly knit at greater than a 72.5 inch circumference;
- wherein the first and second fabric portions are discrete;
- and
- wherein the first and second fabric portions are joined along respective edges of the two portions to form the finished fabric.
