Not all t-shirts are created equal.<\/strong>\u00a0 There are two universal types of routinely made cotton t-shirts: open-end cotton and ringspun cotton. \u00a0If you have ever received a cheap, free t-shirt you are\u00a0familiar\u00a0with open-end cotton. \u00a0It is sometimes scratchy in texture, stiff and heavy. \u00a0If you examine the shirt closely, you can see the fibers of the open ended cotton in the fabric. \u00a0It will look fuzzy, uneven or bulky.<\/p>\n

While these thicker shirts work great for giveaway shirts, if you are looking for a retail-like feel in your t-shirt, you need to get a ringspun cotton t-shirt. \u00a0Ringspun shirts are very soft, finer, smoother and overall more wearable. \u00a0These fashion forward shirts often screen print better because of the tighter knit fabric, free from the open ended fuzziness of the open-end cotton material. \u00a0Ringspun t-shirts are perfect for companies, clothing lines or schools wanting to have customers wear their shirt more than once. \u00a0Most often, people that receive a free open end cotton t-shirt will typically wear it once and then it will make its way to the back of the drawer, never to be seen again. \u00a0While the nicer, ringspun shirt will become a customers favorite tee.<\/p>\n
