T-Shirt Apparel Brand Guide


When it comes to choosing the right t-shirt, the extensive collection of apparel brands and garment styles may seem a little bit overwhelming at first. This guide will serve as an attempt to help break down these selections for you.

100% COTTON - These are your basic and most common types of shirts. They are affordable and yield great print results. One thing to note is that even though they are usually pre shrunk, 100% cotton shirts are still known to shrink a little after washing. This would also be the best option for novelty tees, business promotions, team shirts, etc.

100% RINGSPUN COTTON - Garments from 100% Ringspun Cotton are thinner and softer than your regular 100% cotton t shirts and, due to the manufacturing process, are more durable as well, and as a result, is our most popular garment types. They have a higher-end feel and do not shrink as much as your average 100% cotton shirt. If budget isn’t an issue and you’re looking for good quality, durable apparel, we would strongly recommend this route.

OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER - Beyond these two options of 100% Cotton and 100% Ringspun Cotton, selections can be broken down even further with organic varieties as well as garment weights.

While choosing an organic option will be based solely on personal preference, garment weights can be considered.

Garment weights are usually reflected by their durability. The heavier the garment the more durable, while the lighter the softer. Keep in mind that because ringspun cotton shirts are manufactured to be more durable and lighter than regular cotton shirts, a lighter 4.3 oz ringspun cotton shirt will usually be more durable than a heavier 6 oz cotton shirt.

We hope this has helped you better understand the range of t-shirt brands and garment styles available.
