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.
Crew neck
A crew neck is a round, close-fitting neckline finished with a ribbed collar band, the default cut on most t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies.
Tear-Away Label
A tear-away label is a neck or side-seam tag stitched along a single perforated line so it pulls out cleanly by hand for private labeling.
