Selecting the perfect shirt fabric is critical when you are making several shirts at once. The cloth determines how the shirt looks, feels and wears. Here at Xinyang, we understand that all fabrics are not created equal. There are some materials that you might think look nice at first but wear out prematurely. Other may be soft but wrinkle easily or fade quickly. Good quality silk fabric means the shirt will look good even after years of washing and wearing. It also feels good on the skin, as well. People buy shirts with the expectation they will be comfortable and feel strong, like they’ll last. That’s why choosing the right fabric is a wise decision in order to create truly great shirt customers will rave about.
When Xinyang is making shirts by the thousands, the fabric selection becomes even more crucial. “For the fabric, high quality is perfect because it ultimately saves time and money. Good fabric, for instance, doesn’t tear or stretch as you sew (so cuts go to waste). That becomes crucial when you’re making thousands of shirts, because small mistakes can balloon into big problems. Also, the color and texture of the fabric remain the same after a few trips in the washing machine. Imagine you are making 10,000 shirts out of this fabric that doesn’t hold its color — customers won’t be pleased and there’s a brand reputation at stake. Another consideration is that high quality fabric cuts down on returns and complaints. If a shirt comes out too rough or shrinks too much, some buyers might send it back and stop ordering. At Xinyang, we always make tests for fabric before it is used in wholesale. We test the strength of the threads and how soft the fabric feels, as well as how much it holds its shape. We also consider how easy it is to dye or print on the fabric. Some materials hold colors better and, as a result, the design looks sharper for longer. One is the fabric weight. Lighter fabrics are fine for summer shirts, although they may wear out more quickly. Heavy materials are more durable but make it hot. Striking the perfect middle is one of those things that makes this fabric “high quality” for us. So when we say Xinyang selects cloth for wholesale shirts, there is a lot to be seen and not only one substance. It’s making sure anyone who picks up any shirt has a sharp-looking, good-feeling versatile one — and makes it last. That’s what our customers rely on.

Two of the reasons that high quality fabric is so important are durability and comfort. This is confirmed at Xinyang where we notice that shirts from a low quality fabric, after wearing or washing once/ twice lose shape. Threads can pull, colors dull and the shirt may be rough on the skin. But the shirt, made with superior fabric, holds up. Cotton, for instance, can be soft and still strong if its weave is tight. It does not rip easily and is soft on the skin. And breathe-able fabrics also help keep you cool. Which is why lots of people will opt for shirts in natural fibers such as cotton or linen, rather than ones made of synthetics, which can hold on to heat. Sometimes combining fibers can elevate absence into a rich newness. For instance, a cotton shirt with a small percentage of polyester will wrinkle less and dry faster, while more polyester can make the shirt stiff. We carefully ponder these things here at Xinyang.” “People say that how comfortable a mattress is depends on its surface,” Urlando says. It’s about the way the fabric stretches, how it moves with your body, and what it feels like after you wear it all day. Shirts can present well on a hanger, but if they are stiff or scratchy to wear, I just don’t think people will like them. Good clothing materials also do not shrink. Imagine purchasing a shirt that is the right size at first but shrinks after washing. That’s frustrating! Xinyang tests fabric with repeated washes to ensure it holds its size and shape. Something else is the fabric’s resistance to pilling. Pilling And what about those tiny fiber balls that form on the surface, making a nice shirt look old and worn before its time? Strong fibers and a quality finish lessen the pilling. This translates to the shirt staying wrinkle-free and odorless longer. Ultimately, better fabric leads to more durable and comfortable shirts, happier customers and fewer headaches for makers like Xinyang. And when that fabric you buy is chosen carefully, your ultimate shirt isn’t just a piece of clothery—it’s something people look forward to wearing each and every day.

When you are shopping for shirts in bulk, fabric quality is categorically crucial. The quality of the fabric is what makes good cloth, and it has a direct impact on how your shirt feels, looks and holds its shape over time. When it comes to wholesale buyers, the right fabric can make all the difference. High-quality fabric will keep the shirt pleasant to wear, looking good after being washed many times and prevent it from wearing out. For example: A shirt that is made of good quality cotton will feel soft and allow air to pass through it so you won’t get too hot.

At Xinyang, we always ensure that we only use the finest materials to offer our buyers high-end shirts. Wholesale buyers should note the fabric’s thread count, blend and weight. Thread count refers to the number of threads in a single square inch of fabric — and, generally speaking, the higher it is, the smoother and stronger the fabric tends to be. The fabric blend informs if the cloth is 100 percent natural fibers like cotton, or mixed with synthetic fibers like polyester. Natural fibers tend to be more breathable, while synthetic ones can give the fabric strength and resist wrinkles. Weight: Weight indicates how thick or thin the fabric is — thicker fabric is warmer and lasts longer, while thinner fabric is lighter and cooler. By understanding these things, wholesale buyers can select the best fabric for its needs and ensure that customers get shirts that look good and feel great. Xinyang addresses these dynamics, helping buyers to transparently evaluate and source tested-quality fabrics. Thanks to this, when they are buying T-shirts from Xinyan, wholesale customers can have confidence that the fabric will be right for their own customers.

Some fabrics are particularly in demand for producing shirts en masse in 2024. Those fabrics are chosen because they’re comfortable, attractive and hold up well. At Xinyang, we can see that cotton is still amongst the top options. Cotton shirts, soft, breathable and simple to care for, are a popular choice among many. Cotton appeals to many buyers because it works well in a variety of climates and feels good against the skin. Other popular materials include cotton blends, such as a combination of cotton with polyester. These blends retain the softness of cotton but gain strength, and help the shirt maintain its shape better after washing. Polyester also helps the shirt dry quickly, a benefit for anyone who’s active. Linen is also gaining in popularity, particularly for summer shirts. “Linen is so lightweight and cool, it feels fresh in the summer,” said Louw. But linen wrinkles easily so it is frequently mixed with cotton or other synthetic fibres to make it more an everyday kind of fabric. For buyers at Xinyang, understanding what’s hot helps them pick shirts that they know customers will want to buy. Finally, I think we will also have more interest in sustainable fabrics with a green philosophy type of organic cotton or recycled materials. These fabrics are great for the environment and appeal to customers who care about sustainability. When selecting fabrics for wholesale shirts you need to consider the people who will wear them. Is it a shirt that they will need outside for work, or for sports, casual wear? Different fabrics suit different needs. Xinyang cooperates with buyers for the right fabric according to the latest fabrics and quality request. In this way, wholesalers can bring shirts to market that are not only popular but also made from fabrics that feel good and last long, ensuring their business grows in 2024.
