Terms used on this page

Ringspun Cotton
Ringspun cotton is yarn spun by twisting cotton fibers into a smooth, tightly wound strand, giving fabric a softer hand and finer print surface than open-end cotton.
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.
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.
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.
Drawcord
A drawcord is the cord threaded through a hood or waistband casing that cinches a hoodie's fit, and its style and color are an easy customization option.
