Fabric Guide: What Your Clothes Are Made Of

Understanding fabric composition helps you predict comfort, durability, and care requirements.

Fabric	Weight	Pros	Cons	Best For
Cotton (100%)	150-220gsm for tees, 300-400gsm for hoodies	Breathable, soft, natural, easy to care for	Shrinks if not pre-shrunk, wrinkles easily, absorbs moisture	Everyday wear, casual styles, warm weather
Cotton Blends (Cotton/Poly)	Varies by application	Less shrinkage, wrinkle-resistant, durable, affordable	Less breathable than pure cotton, can pill over time	Athletic wear, workwear, budget options
French Terry	280-380gsm	Soft loops inside, breathable, absorbent, comfortable	Heavier than jersey, can stretch out, requires careful washing	Hoodies, sweatshirts, loungewear
Fleece	300-450gsm	Warm, soft, lightweight, retains heat when wet	Can pill, attracts lint, less breathable	Cold weather layering, outdoor activities
Nylon/Polyester (Technical)	Lightweight (60-150gsm)	Water-resistant, quick-drying, durable, wind-resistant	Less breathable, can feel synthetic, retains odor	Outerwear, athletic wear, rain jackets
Denim	12-16oz	Durable, ages beautifully, versatile, structured	Stiff initially, requires break-in, can fade unevenly	Jeans, jackets, workwear

Fit Guide: Finding Your Perfect Silhouette

Fit determines how clothing looks and feels. Here is how different fits work for various body types:

Best For: Lean builds, formal occasions, layering under jackets

Avoid If: Athletic builds with broad shoulders/thighs

Regular/Classic Fit

Standard cut with room through chest, waist, and legs.

Best For: Most body types, everyday wear, comfort

Avoid If: Those seeking a modern, tailored silhouette

Relaxed Fit

Loose through body and legs. Extra room in seat and thighs.

Best For: Comfort, athletic builds, casual styles

Avoid If: Slim builds (can look baggy)

Oversized Fit

Intentionally large, dropped shoulders, extended length.

Best For: Streetwear, layering, fashion-forward looks

Avoid If: Petite frames (can overwhelm)

Boxy Fit

Wide through body, shorter length, straight cut.

Best For: T-shirts, casual wear, hiding midsection

How to Evaluate Clothing Quality

When inspecting clothing, especially from alternative sources, check these details:

Construction Quality

• Stitching - Should be straight, even, and tight. Look for 12-16 stitches per inch
• Seams - Flat-felled or French seams indicate higher quality than overlocked edges
• Pattern matching - Stripes, plaids, and prints should align at seams
• Reinforcements - Stress points (pockets, cuffs, waistbands) should have bar tacks or double stitching

Fabric Quality

• Weight - Heavier fabrics (higher gsm) generally indicate better quality
• Hand feel - Should feel substantial, not thin or papery
• Color consistency - No fading, bleeding, or uneven dye lots
• Pre-shrunk - Look for "pre-shrunk" or "sanforized" labels to minimize shrinkage

Hardware & Trims

• Zippers - YKK zippers are industry standard for reliability
• Buttons - Should be securely attached with shank or through-button stitching
• Drawstrings - Metal aglets prevent fraying; plastic aglets are lower quality
• Labels - Should be cleanly attached without puckering fabric

Care Instructions for Longevity

Proper care extends garment life significantly:

1. Wash in cold water - Prevents shrinkage and color fading
2. Turn inside out - Protects prints and reduces pilling
3. Use gentle detergent - Avoid bleach and fabric softeners on technical fabrics
4. Air dry when possible - Dryers cause shrinkage and wear elastic
5. Store properly - Hang structured pieces, fold knits to prevent stretching
6. Iron with care - Check fabric labels; use pressing cloth for delicate materials

Common Quality Issues to Watch For

Red flags that indicate poor manufacturing:

• Loose threads - Sign of rushed production or poor quality control
• Uneven hems - Indicates poor cutting or sewing
• Misaligned patterns - Shows lack of attention to detail
• Cheap zippers - Stick, snag, or break easily
• Thin fabric - See-through or flimsy materials won't last
• Strong chemical smell - May indicate inferior dyes or finishes
