The material properties of polo shirts are diverse, and different fabrics have different characteristics. The following are some common polo shirt fabrics and their performance introductions:
Pure cotton: It is a commonly used polo shirt fabric with high cost-effectiveness. It has superior natural characteristics, with good skin friendliness, breathability, and moisture absorption, making it comfortable to wear. Some pure cotton fabrics that have undergone special processes such as hair removal and softening belong to high-end fabrics. However, pure cotton polo shirts have poor elasticity and are prone to pilling and wrinkling after washing.
Polyester cotton: It is a blended fabric of polyester and cotton, generally available in two types: blended and interwoven. Its advantages are good wrinkle resistance, not easy to deform, and not easy to shrink after washing; The disadvantage is that it is prone to fuzzing, the fabric has a hard feel, and the comfort is slightly worse than pure cotton.
Lycra cotton: a blend fabric of cotton and spandex, with drape and crease recovery ability, good hand feel, close fitting, can highlight the figure, elastic, especially suitable for close fitting clothing. But this fabric needs to be treated with anti shrinkage water.
Serized cotton: Made from cotton as raw material, finely spun into high weave yarn, and then processed through special processes such as singeing and silk polishing to produce high-quality silk yarn that is smooth, shiny, and soft. It not only fully retains the excellent natural characteristics of raw cotton, but also has a silky luster. The fabric has a soft touch, moisture absorption and breathability, and good elasticity and drape.
Double silk cotton: Made from silk yarn that has been burned and polished, it is a pure cotton product known as “double burned double silk”. Its fabric has clear patterns, novel patterns, bright luster, and smooth hand feel, which is better than silk cotton, but the price is relatively high.
Triple silk cotton: It is a top-quality cotton fabric, lighter and lighter than ordinary cotton fabrics, with a soft touch, comfortable to wear, non irritating to the skin, and good moisture absorption and breathability. It not only retains the excellent natural characteristics of raw cotton, but also has a silky luster, a soft texture, moisture absorption and breathability, and excellent elasticity and drape.
Zhudi cotton: It is a type of knitted fabric with a porous surface resembling a honeycomb, which is more breathable, dry, and washable than ordinary knitted fabric. It has a soft touch, a soft and casual appearance, and is not easily deformed after washing. It can also be machine washed and is a popular choice for sports polo shirts.
Flax: Made from natural flax fibers, it has excellent breathability, moisture absorption, and thermal conductivity, making people feel cool in hot weather. However, linen fabric has a hard texture and is prone to wrinkling. It is usually blended with other fibers to make polo shirts.
Silk: Silk polo shirts are lightweight, comfortable, and have a glossy finish, but pure silk does not fix color and is prone to color fading in high temperature or humid environments, and has poor wear resistance. Therefore, silk cotton or linen blended fabrics are commonly used.
Cool technology fabric: generally a blend of polyester fiber and spandex, such as 88% nylon+12% spandex, with honeycomb structure micro hole design, which can achieve moisture absorption, quick drying and instant coolness. Some fabrics also have UV resistance, suitable for summer wear.
