Perspective to refer to when selecting a T-shirt (2) “Material determines 80% of a T-shirt!
Because T-shirts are made up of simple parts, pay attention to the material. For an elegant look, choose a fabric with thin fibers and a smooth luster.
Here are the three main factors that determine the best T-shirt fabric in your history!
Element 1: “Material
The following materials are commonly used for men’s T-shirts. Each has its own characteristics, so here are some simple points to keep in mind. In addition to pure compositions such as the authentic 100% cotton, a variety of fabrics are available by mixing (blending) each material to obtain both the advantages of the material and to cancel out the disadvantages.
Cotton
is the most orthodox fabric for T-shirts. Its soft touch with excellent moisture absorbency is a major feature. Quality varies greatly depending on the producing area and manufacturer. Those with brand names on the material itself, such as Sea Island Cotton, Supima Cotton, and Subin Platinum Cotton, are often higher priced because of their high quality and smooth texture.
Polyester
is a material that is generally available at low cost, so it has a strong image of being used in many inexpensive products. However, nowadays, there are many maison brands that dare to use polyester to provide functions such as quick-drying, deodorant, and fastness, which are difficult to achieve with natural materials. The multifunctional Solotex® is also made of polyester.
Polyurethane
is a rubber material often used to add elasticity to fabrics. It is often used in tight silhouette T-shirts and active sports T-shirts because it creates a soft texture and provides a stress-free fit even in fitted sizes. Another advantage is that it has good kickback even when stretched and does not easily lose its shape. The disadvantage is aging due to hydrolysis, but since this is often the case after more than a decade of use, it is not that much of a problem if the garment is worn for several years.
Silk
creates a delicate, lustrous sheen to the fabric, giving it an easily recognizable, luxurious look. The smooth, beautiful drape created by softly reflecting light is ideal for creating a sense of class and elegance. Although expensive, it is difficult to care for, so it has a strong image of being a rather luxurious material. In recent years, T-shirts that mix silk with other materials to add a slightly luxurious feel while maintaining durability are also being developed.
Wool
Wool has been used with increasing frequency over the past few years. Although it is a natural fiber, it is beginning to attract attention as an innerwear material for sportswear due to its superior moisture absorption and desorption properties. As used for suits and jackets, many wool T-shirts have a somewhat classic and elegant look.
Linen
The oldest fiber known to mankind, ” linen ” has been used forabout 8,000 years and is a staple material for summer. It has excellent strength and is known as a precious luxury material that cannot be harvested on site for five to seven years once it has been harvested. It is characterized by its unique dry touch that gives it a cool and refreshing feel, and when made into T-shirt fabric, it has a unique wooden texture that is different from other textures.
Factor 2: “Yarn thickness
The thickness of the yarn, known as the yarn count, is also important to note. Basically, fabrics are made by knitting threads, so the thickness of the threads has a large impact on the texture of the fabric. What we want to pay attention to are yarn count and twist. The yarn count is indicated by a number, and the higher the number, the finer and finer the yarn. Twisting is like twisting a thread. The stronger the twist of the yarn, the drier the touch, and the weaker the twist, the softer and fluffier. In some cases, multiple strands are twisted into a single strand, in which case it is called 2-strand twist, 3-strand twist, etc.
Element (3) “Knitting method
The difference in the weave structure of the fabric is another easily recognizable factor that changes the impression of the fabric. The orthodox knitting method for T-shirts is called jersey knitting. The orthodox knitting method for T-shirts is called jersey knitting, which is used for T-shirts of all tastes because it is a simple flat-knit material.
The fabric below is a smooth knitted fabric, which is famous for its luxurious and smooth texture. Compared to jersey knitting, it is less uneven and has a moist appearance, so it is often used for T-shirts that pursue dressy elegance.
