CVC (Chief Value Cotton) is a blend where cotton predominates, typically 60 to 80 percent cotton and the rest polyester. PC is the reverse, with polyester as the larger share, for example 65 percent polyester and 35 percent cotton.
CVC keeps the hand feel and breathability of cotton, with a little more strength and lower creasing. PC is more stable, dries quickly and creases little, but absorbs less moisture and can pill. For uniforms and heavy use both are common; always check the exact percentages in the technical sheet.
