SOURCE ANYTHING BY THE/STUDIO
Shirt fabric is the foundation of any custom apparel line, available in styles like jersey knit, rib knit, and striped weaves that define the look, drape, and feel of your finished garments. THE/STUDIO connects you with shirt fabric manufacturers through a platform with a production team built in - handling everything from your initial brief and tech packs to samples and production tracking so you can focus on your next drop.

WHAT WE BUILD
From striped shirting to jersey knit yardage, our custom shirt fabric manufacturers produce every weave and knit to your exact spec - with your production team built in.

Striped
Classic woven or knit shirt fabric featuring repeating color stripes in custom widths and colorways.

By the yard
Custom shirt fabric cut to your required yardage, ideal for sampling or small-batch private label runs.

Roll
Full-roll manufacturing for production-ready shirt fabric, wound to your preferred length and core size.

Rib knit
Textured knit shirt fabric with vertical ridges that provide stretch and a structured white label finish.

Jersey knit
Soft, single-knit fabric with natural drape, perfect for custom t-shirts and casual shirt drops.

Your spec
Bring your own pattern or tech pack and we build to it.
A clean, undecorated shirt fabric roll is straightforward production. An all-over print construction - pattern printed before cutting, aligned across panels - is the kind of custom development our production team and vetted factories handle daily. For most brands briefing shirt fabrics, the elaborate end is the norm.


START YOUR BRIEF
You don't need a finished design to begin. Bring a sketch, a reference shirt fabric, a tech pack, or an AI-generated spec, and we develop it into a production-ready shirt fabric.

A rough concept is enough to start a shirt fabric brief.

Send a spec or a reference shirt fabric and we build to it.

Bring a spec from ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot. We productionize it.
