T-Shirt Materials & Custom Specifications
Fabric selection affects the weight, hand feel, drape, opacity, stretch, durability, and appearance of the finished T-shirt. Specifications are confirmed before sampling to ensure the selected construction matches the intended product.
| Specification Area | Options / Information to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Fabric | Cotton, combed cotton, CVC/TC, modal blends, stretch jersey, recycled options, or other approved knits |
| GSM | Buyer-defined fabric weight and tolerance according to season, opacity, fit, and silhouette |
| Fit | Slim, regular, relaxed, boxy, cropped, oversized, or custom women’s block |
| Neckline | Crew neck, V-neck, scoop neck, mock neck, rib collar, or custom shape |
| Sleeves | Short, cap, long, dropped, fitted, or custom sleeve construction |
| Hem | Standard hem, curved hem, split hem, coverstitch, twin needle, or custom finish |
| Decoration | Screen print, DTF/DTG where suitable, heat transfer, embroidery, appliqué, or combined techniques |
| Private Label | Neck label or print, size and care labels, hangtags, barcodes, and branded packaging |
| Trims | Thread, neck tape, rib, labels, and other approved components |
The approved fabric and sample establish the reference for GSM, measurements, construction, decoration, and finishing before bulk production.
OEM & ODM T-Shirt Development
Layo supports both OEM and ODM T-shirt development, depending on how the project begins.
For OEM projects, brands can provide a tech pack, reference sample, artwork, measurement chart, fabric specification, or complete product brief. We coordinate sourcing, pattern development, sampling, decoration, revisions, branding, and bulk manufacturing according to the approved requirements.
For ODM projects, development can start from a general concept, reference image, seasonal direction, preferred fabric, or target product positioning. Our team can support the selection of fabric, GSM, silhouette, neckline, construction, decoration, and finishing before the final sample is approved.
This process allows custom T-shirts to be developed around the actual collection requirements rather than relying on standard blank garments.
T-Shirt Decoration & Private Label
Decoration is developed together with the selected fabric and garment construction. Print coverage, artwork size, ink or transfer characteristics, embroidery density, and placement can influence the hand feel, appearance, and wash performance of the finished T-shirt.
Layo supports:
- Screen printing
- Heat transfer
- DTF or DTG where suitable
- Embroidery
- Appliqué
- Printed neck labels
- Woven labels
- Care and size labels
- Hangtags and barcodes
- Branded packaging
Artwork dimensions, placement, colors, technique, and production tolerances are confirmed during sampling. Decoration is assessed on the selected fabric rather than a generic swatch.
T-Shirt Sampling & Wash Evaluation
T-shirt samples should be evaluated under conditions that represent the finished product. Where washing is part of the product requirements, applicable wash testing is used to assess dimensional and appearance changes.
Key sample checks include:
- Length and width shrinkage
- Fabric spirality
- Neckline recovery
- Sleeve and body measurements
- Seam stretch
- Print or embroidery durability
- Surface appearance after washing
- Hand feel after finishing
For graphic T-shirts, artwork placement, dimensions, color, coverage, and decoration technique are approved on the actual production-intended fabric before bulk manufacturing.
Quality Control for Custom T-Shirts
Quality control focuses on both knit construction and finished garment presentation.
Key inspection points include:
- Fabric composition, GSM, shade, and appearance
- Fabric shrinkage and dimensional stability
- Panel grain and spirality
- Seam and stitch quality
- Seam stretch
- Neckline shape and recovery
- Sleeve and hem construction
- Garment measurements
- Print, embroidery, and appliqué placement
- Decoration adhesion or stitch quality
- Wash appearance
- Labels and packaging consistency
Approved samples and production specifications provide the reference for bulk inspection and repeat orders.
