Round Neck T-Shirt Fabric

Round-neck T-shirt fabrics are usually selected around garment weight, surface, breathability, stretch, print route and hand.

Buyer brief

What to define before sampling

  • Define whether the T-shirt is fashion, training, teamwear or promotional.

  • Specify target GSM, finished width and preferred surface before sampling.

  • Confirm print, dyeing, wicking or other finishing requirements in the brief.

Selection starting point

For most performance tees, start with a lightweight, breathable construction and then refine by surface and decoration route.
