The Difference Between a Blend and 100% Cotton T-Shirt
We have thought about this post for quite some time and weren’t sure if we should make the comparison over the two t-shirts more technical or keep it general. We have decided to just keep it simple and explain the general feeling for the two styles of t-shirts.
Most people choose custom t-shirts with a 100% cotton t-shirt based on two factors. They are considered softer in most cases and are typically better for printing because the cotton accepts the printing a little better.
A blend t shirt is usually the choice when it comes to durability and the shrinking factor. A custom printed blend t-shirt is more resistant to shrinking after washing and drying. A blend, which usually consists of polyester and cotton, is also more durable because of the synthetic fibers that make up 40-50% of the t-shirt.
Either way, we carry both styles with high quality brands like Gildan, Hanes, and Fruit of the Loom.
