- When buying casual shirts, check the fiber content and the
percentage of each fiber in the garment. The amount of every
fiber in case of a blended fabric, contributes to the fabric
characteristics and performance.
- Check the quality of cotton used, as it directly affects the
quality and price of the garment. High quality and long staple
cotton fibers used in the garment guarantees a better garment.
- Pima is a very high grade cotton, so a garment with "Pima
Cotton" tag will obviously be of very high quality.
- Look for "combed cotton" tag on garments as it
means that the fiber has gone through extra processing for extra
smoothness.
- Cotton and polyester blend shirts should be preferred as
polyester provides stability to the garment and reduces
shrinkage. High percentage of polyester in a shirt will make it
less comfortable.
- CoolMax® and ComforMax® are specialty fibers made by
Dupont. These fibers allow sweat to eveporate quickly, thus
giving a cooler feeling to the wearer. Such fibers should be
preferred for making shirts for summers.
