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.
- 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.
- 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.
