Terms used on this page

Singles (Yarn Count)
Singles is the yarn-count system where a higher number, like 30/1, means finer, thinner yarn, and a lower number, like 18/1, means thicker, coarser yarn.
Polyester
Polyester is a synthetic, petroleum-based fiber prized for durability, quick-dry performance, and colorfastness, but prone to dye migration under screen-print inks.
Heather Fabric
Heather fabric is knit or woven from a blend of dyed and undyed fiber, creating a mottled two-tone look that usually signals polyester content.
Relaxed Fit
Relaxed fit adds extra ease through the chest and body beyond a classic cut, without going as wide or long as an oversized silhouette.
Ribbed Collar
A ribbed collar is a stretchy rib-knit neckband, usually 1x1 rib, whose recovery after stretching depends heavily on how much spandex is blended in.
Taped Neck (Shoulder-to-Shoulder Taping)
A taped neck is a strip of tape sewn over a garment's shoulder-to-shoulder seam to stop it from stretching out and smooth the seam against skin.
