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.
Preshrunk
Preshrunk means a garment was run through a shrink-control process at the mill, so most of the size change a first wash would cause happened before it shipped.
Body length
Body length is the vertical measurement from high point shoulder to the bottom hem, the single number that tells a buyer whether a tee runs long, short, or cropped.
Sleeve length
Sleeve length is the arm measurement on a size chart, taken either from high point shoulder or from the shoulder seam, and the two starting points can differ by 2 to 3 inches on the same shirt.
