Fabric Guide

Fabric Guide

We focus on a small number of fabrics and do them properly. Each one is chosen for how it feels, how it wears, and how well it prints.

Cotton T-Shirt (Standard)

Our standard cotton tees are built as a reliable everyday blank. Clean surface, consistent sizing, and made to hold prints without distortion.

Fabric

  • 100% cotton

  • Mid-to-heavy weight

  • Tight knit for a smooth print surface

Feel & Fit

  • Structured without feeling stiff

  • Holds shape through repeated wear

  • Boxy, modern silhouette

Best For

  • Screen printing

  • DTF / digital transfers

  • Embroidery (left chest, light fills)

Why We Use It
This is the workhorse fabric. Predictable results, easy to decorate, and consistent across batches.

Washed Cotton T-Shirt

Washed cotton tees go through a garment wash after construction, giving them a softer hand feel and a worn-in look straight out of the box.

Fabric

  • 100% cotton

  • Garment-washed finish

  • Slightly broken-in texture

Feel & Fit

  • Softer than standard cotton

  • Subtle vintage feel

  • Relaxed drape with the same boxy cut

Best For

  • Screen printing (especially discharge-style looks)

  • DTF / digital

  • Brands chasing a vintage or premium aesthetic

Things to Know

  • Colour variation is part of the look

  • Prints sit slightly more organically due to the softer surface

Fleece (Hoodies, Crews, Trackies)

Our fleece is heavyweight and built for structure, warmth, and longevity. Designed to feel premium without being bulky.

Fabric

  • Cotton-rich fleece blend

  • Heavy GSM

  • Brushed interior for warmth

Feel & Fit

  • Dense, structured outer

  • Soft brushed interior

  • Holds shape without collapsing over time

Best For

  • Screen printing (fronts, backs, large areas)

  • Embroidery

  • Premium retail blanks and merch

Why It Matters
Cheap fleece pills, twists, and loses shape. This fabric is chosen to age properly and keep garments looking intentional after heavy wear.

Choosing the Right Fabric

  • Clean, consistent merch: Standard cotton

  • Vintage or premium feel: Washed cotton

  • Cold weather, high-end pieces: Fleece

If you’re unsure which fabric suits your project, we’re happy to guide you or send samples so you can feel the difference in person.

If you want, I can:

  • Shorten this by ~30% for a tighter product page

  • Rewrite it purely for printers or purely for brands

  • Add a comparison table (feel, weight, best print method)
