Cotton Shirting Fabric Guide
Shirting fabrics should be breathable, durable, pleasant to the touch, and comfortable to wear all year round. That's why only the best cotton usually used for creating them. What is a thread count? It's the ratio between fabric smoothness and durability: as the number increases, the fabric becomes smoother, yet more prone to occasional tearing. The most optimal ration for shirting fabrics ranges from Super 60's to Super 80's. As a result, shirts wrinkle less, yet remain very strong.
