A selection of sample menswear prints on very similar base fabrics: a fine-textured, mercerised pure cotton double knit (no elastane). Fabric feels silky-smooth, with good drape and a fair amount of structure. It is stable and easy to handle. Suitable for button-up-style knit shirts, regular tees, polo-style tees, tops and blouses, knit dresses, sleepwear, lounge bottoms, or kids wear. Most have a slightly dry hand-feel, and are fairly opaque as the fabric is densely knit. Swatches of this type of fabric are available, leave a note at check-out if you would like one.
