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.
- Classic Fit
- Classic fit is the roomy, straight-cut 'full cut' T-shirt silhouette with generous body ease and minimal waist taper, built to fit the broadest range of body types.
- 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.
- Ribbed Cuffs
- Ribbed cuffs are the stretch rib-knit bands at the sleeve ends of hoodies and sweatshirts, and their recovery determines whether sleeves keep their shape through daily wear.
