Is the customized cultural shirt pure cotton? Will it shrink and pilling?

When preparing a custom cultural shirt, many people will first ask two questions: Is it pure cotton? Will it shrink and pilling? These two questions seem simple, but they are directly related to the wearing experience and team image. Today we will make this clear and help you avoid the pits on the road to customization.?

First answer the first question: Is the custom cultural shirt pure cotton?

The answer is not necessarily, but pure cotton is indeed the most mainstream choice at present. Common custom jersey fabrics on the market mainly include the following:

① 100% pure cotton

It feels soft, breathable and absorbs sweat. It is very comfortable to wear close to the body. It is suitable for daily commuting, team building activities, brand promotion and other scenarios. But pure cotton also has disadvantages, that is, it is easy to wrinkle and needs a little bit of care.

② Cotton + polyester fiber blend

For example, 65% cotton + 35% polyester fiber, this fabric has good wrinkle resistance and is not easy to deform, but its breathability and skin-friendly feel will be reduced, making it suitable for work clothes that require high version requirements and require repeated cleaning.

③ Quick-drying fabrics (mainly polyester)

Suitable for sports and outdoor scenes, it wicks sweat quickly and is light, but the static electricity problem is more obvious, and the comfort of close-fitting wear is not as good as pure cotton.

Therefore, whether a custom cultural shirt is pure cotton depends entirely on your needs and budget. If you pursue comfort and natural texture, choose pure cotton; if you value durability and wrinkle resistance more, blending is also a good choice.

The second question: will the pure cotton cultural shirt shrink and pilling?

To be honest, pure cotton does have the possibility of shrinking and pilling, but this does not mean that all pure cotton cultural shirts will be like this. The key points are:

① Pretreatment process of fabrics

High-quality pure cotton fabrics will be pre-shrunk before leaving the factory to control the shrinkage rate within 3%. In order to save costs, some small factories skip this step, and the ready-to-wear will shrink significantly after being launched. So when customizing, you must ask clearly: Has the fabric been pre-shrunk?

② Yarn quality and weaving method

Long-staple cotton and combed cotton have long fibers and few impurities, so the woven fabric is tighter and not easy to pilling. The ordinary short-staple cotton has short fibers, which are easy to loosen after friction, and will pilling after wearing it a few times. The gram weight is also very important. The thickness of the 180g-220g pure cotton cultural shirt is moderate, which is neither transparent nor easy to deform.

③ Washing and maintenance methods

No matter how good the pure cotton cultural shirt is, if it is scalded with hot water, rubbed hard, and exposed to the sun every day, it will also accelerate shrinkage and pilling. It is recommended to wash it by hand in cold water or gently machine wash it, and dry it on the reverse side to avoid sun exposure, which can greatly prolong the service life.

Is there a way to retain the comfort of pure cotton while reducing shrinkage and pilling? Of course there is. Choosing a reliable customized manufacturer can help you check from the source.

For example, Shenzhen Yasenman Apparel Co., Ltd. has been specializing in the customization of cultural shirts for many years, and is very strict in the selection of fabrics. The high-count combed pure cotton they use has been pre-shrunk and shaped, and the shrinkage rate is far lower than the industry standard. At the same time, Yasenman will also recommend suitable fabric solutions according to your use scenario - if it is a team building activity, it is recommended to recommend breathable pure cotton; if it is a long-term wear work clothes, it is recommended to recommend cotton-polyester blend or thickened pure cotton, which is both comfortable and durable.

The team wears them out with special face.?
