English term or phrase: Pin dot
Bonjour,

il s'agit d'un document décrivant des vêtements techniques.

"Pin dot : 100 % nylon".

Je suppose qu'il s'agit donc d'une partie spécifique d'un vêtement plus que d'un motif (dot)...

Merci d'avance !

Explanation:
Contrairement à toi, je pense qu'il s'agit bien du motif de l'imprimé qui est constitué de tout petits points assez resserrés. La recherche sur Google Images semble le confirmer.

neutral  Tony M: My inclination would be for some kind of (almost) micro-perforated fabric, though I'm not quite sure if that would still count as 'maille'...

neutral  Tony M: I understand what you are saying, but it seems an odd way to be using it in the source text; more context may clarify.

its more woven in the fabric rather than printed on the fabric. Printed dots like polka dots or coin dots are usually larger than pin dot.
I would leave pin dot as I have seen clothing website leaving the term pin dot without translating it
