Key Materials for Your Private Label Pocket T-Shirts

  At Sportswearmakers, we know that fabric selection is the cornerstone of every successful pocket T-shirt collection. Whether you’re creating premium basics for lifestyle brands, functional styles for fitness labels, or oversized tees for streetwear lines, we help you choose materials that support comfort, durability, and retail-ready presentation. All fabrics are sourced through proven suppliers and tested in real-world production to ensure consistency and performance.
  Combed Cotton Combed cotton is a favorite for high-end pocket T-shirts due to its soft texture, breathability, and smooth finish. It undergoes an additional combing process to remove impurities and short fibers, resulting in a cleaner yarn that enhances both softness and durability. Ideal for premium casualwear and everyday essentials.
  Heavyweight Cotton Jersey (220–260gsm) For brands targeting structure, shape retention, and tactile quality, heavyweight cotton is the go-to. This dense jersey fabric provides a firm drape and elevated hand feel, making it perfect for oversized pocket T-shirts and streetwear-focused labels. It also holds its shape after repeated washing.
  Cotton-Polyester Blends These blends offer a practical balance between natural comfort and functional durability. By combining cotton’s softness with polyester’s wrinkle resistance and longevity, this fabric type supports low-maintenance wear—ideal for workwear, uniforms, and affordable casual collections.
  Organic Cotton and Recycled Blends For brands focused on sustainability, we supply GOTS-certified organic cotton and GRS-certified recycled polyester blends. These eco-conscious materials meet rising consumer demand for ethical sourcing while maintaining core attributes like breathability, structure, and comfort.
  Stretch-Enhanced Cotton (With Spandex or Elastane) When flexibility is a design priority, especially for fitted or athletic pocket tees, we incorporate 3–5% spandex or elastane. This addition enhances mobility and recovery, making garments ideal for active lifestyles or gym-branded apparel lines.
  Garment-Dyed Cotton Jersey Popular for vintage-style collections, garment-dyed fabrics provide soft color variation and a lived-in appearance. This process also increases softness and shrink resistance. Perfect for fashion retailers and lifestyle labels seeking a unique finish with a hand-crafted feel.
  Slub Cotton With its slightly irregular texture, slub cotton delivers a natural, tactile look. The fabric’s subtle visual variation adds depth to simple silhouettes—making it a favorite for minimalist, eco-inspired, or boutique apparel collections.
  Piqué Cotton Traditionally used in polos, piqué cotton offers structure and airflow. Its textured weave lends a premium aesthetic to pocket tees used in crossover golf-leisure or business casual contexts, expanding the versatility of your product line.
  Washed Cotton and Enzyme-Washed Fabrics These soft-washed finishes offer a broken-in feel straight off the rack. Popular for lifestyle and streetwear labels, enzyme-washed cotton provides enhanced softness, reduced pilling, and a subtle faded effect for fashion-forward appeal.
  Build Material Awareness Into Your Brand Story Educated buyers care about more than appearance—they want to understand how a T-shirt feels, lasts, and aligns with their values. We help translate technical fabric attributes—such as GSM weight, shrink resistance, and sustainability certifications—into brand messaging that enhances product appeal and supports premium positioning.
