Different Types of T-Shirt Fabric

It is worth mentioning that there are different types of T-shirt fabrics. The fabric of the T-shirt will play an important role in the print. The most common fabric we can use to make T-shirts is cotton.

Combed cotton is softer, stronger and smoother for printing. Organic cotton is also very soft and comfortable, but more expensive.

Bima is the highest quality cotton fabric. This shirt is very soft and durable because it contains extra long fibers. This cotton is resistant to pilling, fading and stretching.

Basically, Jersey is a knitted fabric that we can use for clothing. Originally made of wool, but now made of wool, cotton and synthetic fibers. The single jersey fabric is very stretchy and lightweight, with one side flat and one side brushed. This is for T-shirts. Double jersey has less stretch, which creates a heavier fabric, knit two pieces of single jersey together so that the two flats of the fabric stay on the outside of the fabric, with the pile in the middle. Interlock jerseys for polo tees.

Highest Quality T-Shirt Fabric
Slub cotton has slight lumps in the fabric. These lumps are due to when the cotton is twisted during the process before the cotton is woven. This unique fabric creates a lightweight tee that won't cling to the body.

Linen is another popular fabric that works best for T-shirts. It comes from the flax plant. Linen is a very popular summer choice because the fabric is very lightweight and breathable. It's also moisture-wicking and dries quickly. The problem is that it wrinkles easily.

Polyester is another t-shirt fabric. Polyester dries very quickly. It doesn't require any ironing and is easy to machine wash. It doesn't stretch.

Basically, we use rayon for sportswear. It is a man-made fiber made from trees, cotton and plants. The end result is a silky and breathable fabric that is extremely absorbent.
