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.
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.
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.
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.
