“Ring-spun” shows up on more t-shirt tags than almost any other cotton descriptor, and for good reason. It’s the spinning method behind the soft, slightly irregular texture that most people picture when they imagine a genuinely well-made basic tee. This…
Most cotton fibers run about an inch long. Pima cotton fibers run considerably longer, and that difference in length is responsible for nearly everything customers notice about it: the softness, the slight sheen, and the price tag that comes with…
Run your hand across a premium t-shirt and a basic one side by side, and the difference often comes down to one processing step most customers have never heard of: combing. It’s a small extra stage in yarn production that…
