The right fabric for each garment

What fabric should I use for a premium t-shirt that looks high-end?

The Alteks Tricot team
The Knit Journal · 1 min read

For a premium tee use a combed cotton single jersey with fine yarn, 180–220 GSM. The extra weight gives drape, opacity and a pleasant hand, while combed yarn reduces pilling and makes the surface smoother. Also check the evenness of the knit, because flaws show immediately on a clean-looking fabric. A premium tee also needs good cutting, neat stitching and a rib that holds the neckline, so choose the matching rib too. Ask for samples in two weights and compare them on the body, not only in your hand.
