How to identify the fabric quality of a customized polo shirt? Which is better, pure cotton or quick-drying?

When doing corporate team building or brand work clothes, the most troublesome thing for the purchasing partners is the fabric. The price of customized polo shirts on the market ranges from tens to hundreds, and there are too many pits that can be pilled and deformed after one wash. Let's talk about how to distinguish the quality of fabrics with the naked eye and feel, and how to choose pure cotton and quick-drying.

? Step 1: Look at the ingredient label and gram weight

Don't just listen to the merchant say "pure cotton", be sure to read the washing label. 100% cotton and 95% cotton + 5% elastane are the golden ratio of customized polo shirts, which are not easy to wrinkle and slightly elastic. In terms of gram weight, 180-220g is the summer comfort zone. Below 160g will penetrate the meat, and above 240g will be sultry. If the label is blurred, pull a thread and burn it with a lighter: pure cotton will be ash after burning, with a burning paper smell; chemical fiber will agglomerate and have a pungent plastic smell.

✋ Step 2: Feel and rebound test

Hold the fabric in your hand for 5 seconds and then release it. Good fabrics will rebound quickly with less folds; inferior fabrics are like dried pickles. Then stretch the neckline horizontally, it can be easily elongated and quickly restored, indicating that the elastane content is sufficient. If the neckline is hard like cardboard, wash it twice to make a ruffle edge.

? Step 3: "Breathing" of quick-drying fabrics

Quick-drying is usually polyester fiber + elastane. Don't be fooled by the "cold feeling", the key is the air permeability. Cover the fabric on the hot water cup and buckle the glasses. The fog appears quickly to be qualified. A good quick-drying polo shirt has a honeycomb moisture-conducting texture on the inside, which feels fine particles, not a slippery plastic sheet.

⚖️ Pure cotton vs quick drying, which one to choose?

Pure cotton: Skin-friendly and sweat-absorbing, suitable for business reception and daily commuting, but it is easy to stick to the body after sweating and dries slowly. Quick-drying: Fast moisture removal, light and durable, suitable for outdoor team building and sports events, but there is a lot of static electricity and easy to hook silk.

If the budget is enough, it is recommended to choose pure cotton for the front desk or sales post, and quick-drying for the technical or field post. For example, Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. supports mixed batch customization of two fabrics. Their liquid ammonia cotton series retains the touch of pure cotton and is anti-wrinkle. The quick-drying model uses a honeycomb diversion structure, which is measured to dry 40% faster than the ordinary model.

? Pit Avoidance Tips

Be sure to ask the manufacturer to send the color card and fabric sample cloth before customization. After receiving the sample cloth, scrape it with your fingernails 10 times repeatedly, and only those without fluff will pass the customs. In addition, ask if it is pre-shrunk. The pure cotton polo shirt without pre-shrinkage can be shrunk by one yard after being launched into the water.

Shenzhen Yasenman Apparel Co., Ltd. will provide free shrinkage test report and anti-pilling grade certificate before customization, which is very friendly to the purchaser.

Finally, remind: don't just look at the unit price. Gram weight, yarn, finishing process every difference, the cost difference is 30%. Choose the right supplier, so that employees can wear decent, so that brand perception does not drop.
