If you want to build your own brand of clothing, the easiest clothing is to Oem T Shirts, but you also need to understand the three basic t shirts fabric knowledge of good t shirts, so that you can ensure that your clothing factory can customize the t shirts you want. below is some basic knowledge of t shirts fabric. lets talk about it.
First. T shirts fabric knowledge

1. What is gram weight
The gram weight entered here is generally used to indicate the thickness of the fabric. The larger the gram weight, the thicker the clothes. The weight of the T-shirt is generally between 160 grams and 220 grams. If it is too thin, it will be very transparent, and if it is too thick, it will be stuffy. Generally, it is better to choose between 180-280 grams. (Short-sleeves are generally 180-220 grams, and this thickness is just right to wear. Long-sleeved T-shirts generally choose 260 grams of fabric, which is a thicker type.
2. What is the count?
Enter the definition here: The number of yards of length that a cotton yarn with a nominal weight of one pound has. Coarse count yarn: pure cotton yarn of 18 counts and below, mainly used for weaving thick fabrics or pile and looped cotton fabrics. Medium Count: Pure cotton yarn of 19-29 counts. Mainly used for knitted garments with general requirements. Fine count yarn: 30-60 count pure cotton yarn. Mainly used for high-grade knitted cotton fabrics. The higher the count, the softer it is, and T-shirts are generally 21 and 32.
3. What is combing?
Here input T-shirt cotton yarn can be divided into carded and combed yarn. Carded yarn: refers to the yarn spun by the carded spinning process, also known as uncombed yarn. Combed yarn: refers to the yarn produced by using high-quality cotton fiber as raw material and adding a combing process to carded yarn when spinning. The surface of the fabric is relatively clean and soft to the touch.
4. What are the processes of T-shirt printing?
The input T-shirt printing here is basically divided into screen printing and transfer printing. Screen printing: The technology is relatively complex, mainly including design, film production, printing, printing, and drying. The advantages of screen printing are high color fastness, durability and washability. Screen printing plate making costs are high, so mass production is required to reduce costs, and it cannot meet the printing of single or very small batches. Transfer printing: also known as heat transfer. The advantages are bright colors and simple technology. The disadvantage is that the pattern has poor durability, is not resistant to wear, and is not washable.
5. What is singeing treatment?
The characteristic of the input singeing treatment here is to remove the hairs formed on the surface of the yarn due to the untwisted fibers and the protruding fibers, so that the fabric is smoother and more beautiful, and the color of the fabric is uniform, and it can print clear and fine patterns.
6. What are the advantages of pure cotton fabrics? Why add spandex?
The characteristics of the pure cotton fabric input here are that it feels good, comfortable to wear and environmentally friendly, but it is easy to wrinkle. Adding a small amount of spandex yarn can significantly change the physical properties of the fabric, greatly increase the elasticity of the fabric, while maintaining the texture and comfort of pure cotton. In addition, the addition of spandex to the neckline can prevent the neckline from being loosely deformed and maintain the lasting elasticity of the neckline.
Second. How many types of T-shirt fabrics are there? Let's talk about it:
1. Ordinary cotton fabric
Casual T-shirts are mostly made of ordinary pure cotton fabrics, which are comfortable to wear, but slightly less rigid. It is easy to wrinkle and deform easily after entering the water.
2. The mercerized cotton fabric is made of ordinary pure cotton fabric, the T-shirt of this fabric is comfortable to wear
The mercerized cotton fabric uses cotton as the raw material, and is made into high-woven yarn by worsted spinning, and then undergoes special processing procedures such as singeing and mercerization to make high-quality mercerized yarns that are smooth, bright, soft and wrinkle-resistant. The high-quality knitted fabric made of this raw material not only fully retains the excellent natural characteristics of raw cotton, but also has a silky luster. The fabric is soft to the touch, moisture-absorbing and breathable, and has good elasticity and drape; in addition, it is rich in colors and comfortable to wear. And casual, fully reflects the wearer’s temperament and taste.
3. Pure cotton double mercerized fabric
Pure cotton double mercerized fabric is a pure cotton product of “double burning double silk”. It uses mercerized yarn made of singeing and mercerizing as raw material, and uses CAD computer-aided design system and CAM computer-aided production system to quickly weave designs. After singeing and mercerizing the grey fabric again, and after a series of finishing, this high-grade knitted fabric is produced. The fabric surface has clear texture, novel pattern, bright luster and smooth hand feeling, which is better than mercerized cotton. One chip, but slightly more expensive due to the need for two mercerizing finishes.
4. Ultra-high-count cotton fabric
This kind of fabric is rarely used by enterprises, because its price is very expensive. The price of pure cotton T-shirt fabric of 120 yarns is as high as 170 yuan per kilogram, while the price of pure cotton T-shirt fabric of 200 yarns is even higher, reaching more than 3,000 yuan. One kilogram, and the 250-thread-count cotton T-shirt fabric needs 1,800 pounds, and there is no process for producing this fabric in our country.
Commonly used fabrics for T-shirts and cultural shirts
Cotton single jersey, polyester-cotton single and double-sided as well as pure cotton, polyester-cotton hexagonal, square mesh, herringbone pattern, compound rib, strip mesh, etc. It is not easy to deform, but the wearing comfort is slightly worse than that of pure cotton.
The characteristics of common polyester-cotton fabrics: soft and thick to the touch, not easy to be deformed by washing, but slightly less comfortable to wear than pure cotton. Common polyester-cotton is 80% cotton, 20% polyester or 65% cotton, 35% polyester ratio.
The characteristics of pure cotton fabrics: good hand feeling, comfortable and environmentally friendly to wear, the weight is generally between 160 grams and 300 grams, too thin will be very transparent, too thick will be sultry, generally choose between 180-260 grams of weight, the count Generally 21 and 32, which refers to the average number of cotton fiber lengths, the higher the softer, and the veil is divided into ordinary yarn, semi-fine yarn and fine yarn, the surface of ordinary yarn fabrics will be rough, especially dark The fabric will have white yarn points. The surface of the fine yarn fabric is relatively clean and soft to the touch.
2. Common sense of washing of various T-shirts
printed T-shirt
1. The printing position cannot be pulled, rubbed or twisted.
2. The printing position cannot be ironed to prevent the printing from falling off.
3. The elasticity of the ribbed fabric is good, and the printing position is prone to fall off when it is pulled too much.
stretch tee
1. Elastic fabrics should not be ironed at high temperature to prevent damage to fabric elasticity
2. Do not float, it will damage the elasticity of the fabric
3. Some elastic fabrics are woven with core-spun yarn. The yarn is fluffy and the cloth surface is more plush. Be careful not to be too heavy when washing to prevent excessive fluff.
4. Do not expose to the sun to prevent damage to the elasticity of the fabric.
Cotton Lightweight T-Shirt
1. Do not wash too heavy, do not wash with other thick and thick clothes to prevent deformation, excessive fluff and being hooked and scratched, it is best to wash separately
2. Light and thin fabrics are thin and have low elasticity. When wearing Nissan, pay attention to preventing hard objects from hooking the yarn and causing holes.
3. Light and thin fabrics are easy to deform, so be careful not to pull too much when wearing.
Other fabric T-shirts
1. Because the jacquard fabric is loosely organized, there are long floating lines on the back of the fabric, so try not to wash it with other thick clothes and clothes with zippers to prevent hooking and scratching the fabric, because the floating line is on the reverse side, so this kind of clothes don’t wash it backwards
2. Viscose knitted fabrics (such as modal – more women’s clothing) are soft to the touch and lighter. These fabrics have low wet strength and are prone to fibrillation and fluff in water, so they can only be machine washed gently, not too heavy.
Third. different fabrics and different colors of clothes have different drying techniques
Silk fabric clothing: After washing, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally, and preferably the reverse side is facing out. Because silk clothing has poor sunlight resistance, it cannot be directly exposed to sunlight, otherwise the fabric will fade and the strength will decrease. This is especially true for darker or brighter clothing. Also, never bake silk garments with fire.
Chemical fiber fabrics: After washing, chemical fiber clothes should not be exposed to sunlight. Because acrylic fibers are prone to discoloration and yellowing after exposure to the sun; nylon, polypropylene and man-made fibers are easy to age when exposed to sunlight; polyester and vellum will accelerate the photochemical cracking of fibers under the action of sunlight, affecting the life of the fabric. Therefore, it is better to dry chemical fiber clothes in a cool place.
Sweaters, sweaters and other knitted fabrics: in order to prevent such clothes from being deformed, they can be put into net pockets after washing and hung in a ventilated place to dry; It is heavy and deformed; it can also be strung with bamboo poles or plastic pipes to dry; if conditions permit, it can be laid flat on other objects to dry. In general, avoid sun exposure or baking.
