Shiny "silky" riding shirts...is there a name for that material?

[L.T.G]

I had no idea how to title this.

as mentioned, this shiny "silky" material that pro riders shirts seem to made of, is there a specific name for it?

or do different brands make/have their own?

I'd like some shirts made and if possible, use said material, but I have no clue what to tell cycling clothing manufacturers what I'm looking for

Go into a store who stock the shirts you referring to and have a look at the label somewhere. It should specify the fabric makeup.

Good old Polyester cycling shirts are quite shiny and silky to the feel.
