Indicators on which the weight of cotton T-shirts depends
Modern industry produces a variety of types of T-shirts. Their mass depends on several parameters.
- Fabric structure. Products made from natural fabrics weigh more than products made from synthetic fibers.
- Density of the material. T-shirts are worn today at different times of the year. For hot weather, clothes are made from light and thin knitwear. The weight of such items is less than those items intended for cold weather. They are made from dense and heavier knitwear.
- Model. Various types of T-shirts can be divided into 3 groups based on weight. The lightest items are those with short sleeves, the average weight are long-sleeve T-shirts, and the heaviest are items with long sleeves and a hood.
- Size. The weight of clothing is directly related to size. The smaller it is, the lighter the T-shirt. For example, products for a 2-year-old child are always lighter than clothes for a 20-year-old young man.
Important! The weight of clothing also depends on its condition. Dry items are lighter than items that contain moisture.
