02 / Material decisions
Choose by feel.
Confirm by sample.
A fabric name is a starting point, not a full specification. Bring the desired look and feel; review the actual material before committing to the garment.
| Direction | What it changes | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton jersey | A starting point for everyday tees and printed collections. | Compare surface smoothness, opacity and post-wash dimensions. |
| Heavier jersey | A direction when a more substantial silhouette is wanted. | Check drape and breathability rather than choosing by GSM alone. |
| Pique | A textured fabric direction for polos. | Approve the collar and placket together with the main fabric. |
Confirm composition, weight, color, care and any required supporting documents as part of your material brief.

04 / Finishing
Finishes worth discussing.
A short, relevant selection for this category. Suitability depends on your material and artwork and should be checked on a sample.
05 / Sample review
What should a T-shirt sample confirm?
Use one sample record to connect the fit block, jersey, neck rib and artwork. State the measurement points and care conditions before reviewing neck shape, opacity, seam alignment and dimensional change. Check print size and placement on the sizes that matter to the design. Photograph actual observations and record requested changes against the sample ID. Approve the garment and specification together, with any unchecked items clearly listed.

06 / Quote questions
Before you send
the brief.
Is GSM enough to choose T-shirt fabric?
No. Composition, yarn, knitting and finishing also affect how a tee feels and hangs. Use a physical swatch and a sample garment to compare the result.
Can one graphic work across every size?
It can, but confirm its dimensions and placement relative to the neckline and seams. Review the smallest and largest sizes rather than approving only one sample size.
How are pricing and bulk production timing confirmed?
Pricing and bulk production timing are confirmed in your order-specific quote after reviewing the style, fabric availability, decoration and quantity.
Can I discuss a design without a finished tech pack?
Yes. Send a sketch or reference image with the measurements and details you already know. Identify what is still undecided so the next sample-development steps can be discussed.
Can the order be split across colours and sizes?
Send the total quantity and your proposed breakdown by style, colour and size. The feasible split and any conditions are reviewed for your project and confirmed in the written quote.
What should I compare in a manufacturing quote?
Compare the same specification version, materials, decoration, labels, packaging and quantity breakdown. Ask which sample, testing, inspection and freight costs are included or separate, and confirm the destination, quote validity and production timing in writing.
