Everything You Need in T-Shirt Fabric

Soft Jersey Knits for Everyday Comfort

Jersey knit is the backbone of the classic tee — stretchy, smooth-faced, and wonderfully soft against the skin. Our jersey fabrics range from 120gsm lightweight options ideal for summer basics to 180gsm mid-weight constructions that hold their shape through repeated washes. If you want a fabric that moves with the body and breathes easily, explore our breathable fabric selection or pair your jersey with a touch of spandex fabric for added recovery and fit. These knits are equally at home in casual everyday tees and elevated fashion-forward designs.

Interlock and Pique for Premium Tee Construction

Interlock fabric offers a double-knit structure that gives t-shirts a cleaner, more substantial hand feel — ideal for premium or retail-quality garments. Pique knit, with its signature textured weave, adds visual interest and breathability that makes it a go-to for polo-style tees and performance casual wear. Both constructions work beautifully with cotton fabric blends and hold color vibrantly, making them excellent choices for branded or printed designs. For projects that demand a step up from basic jersey, these fabric types deliver a noticeable upgrade in drape and durability.

Slub and Textured Fabrics for Character-Rich Tees

Slub jersey introduces intentional irregularities in the yarn that create a naturally textured, artisan look — perfect for vintage-inspired or fashion-forward t-shirt lines. The slight variation in thickness gives slub fabric a lived-in character that wearers love, and it pairs exceptionally well with garment dyeing or washed finishes. Designers looking to expand beyond basics can also consider modal fabric for its silky drape and eco-friendly profile, or Lyocell Tencel fabric for a sustainable option with excellent moisture management. These specialty knits are ideal for small-batch collections where fabric texture is part of the design story.

Frequently Asked Questions

What GSM weight is best for t-shirt fabric?

For most everyday t-shirts, a weight between 140gsm and 180gsm strikes the right balance between softness and opacity. Lighter weights around 120–135gsm work well for summer tees or layering pieces, while 190–220gsm is better suited to structured, premium tees that hold their shape. Your choice should also factor in fiber content — cotton-modal blends, for example, feel lighter than their GSM suggests due to their natural drape.

Is cotton or polyester better for t-shirt fabric?

Cotton is the traditional choice for t-shirts thanks to its breathability, softness, and natural feel against the skin. Polyester offers better moisture-wicking, wrinkle resistance, and color retention, making it popular for performance or sublimation-printed tees. Many of our best-selling t-shirt fabrics use cotton-polyester blends that combine the comfort of natural fiber with the durability and print performance of synthetic — giving you the best of both worlds.

Can I use t-shirt fabric for DTG or screen printing?

Yes — jersey and interlock knits with a high cotton content (at least 50–100%) are the most print-receptive fabrics for direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. Smoother fabric surfaces, such as fine interlock or combed cotton jersey, produce sharper print results with less ink bleed. For screen printing, a tighter knit with minimal texture is preferred. Always pre-wash your fabric before printing to remove any finishing agents that could affect ink adhesion.

How much fabric do I need to make a t-shirt?

A standard adult t-shirt typically requires between 1.5 and 2.5 yards of fabric, depending on the size of the garment and the width of the fabric bolt. Most jersey fabrics come in 58–60 inch widths, which allows for efficient pattern placement. We recommend adding an extra 10–15% to account for pattern matching, seam allowances, and any pre-washing shrinkage.

Do t-shirt fabrics shrink after washing?

Natural fiber knits — particularly 100% cotton jerseys — can shrink by 3–8% after the first wash if not pre-shrunk. Pre-washing your fabric before cutting and sewing is strongly recommended to minimize post-construction shrinkage. Blended fabrics containing polyester or modal tend to have lower shrinkage rates. Always check the care label recommendations for the specific fabric you've ordered to maintain size and shape integrity.
