WHAT WE BUILD

Custom shirt fabrics 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.

data

Striped

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

data

By the yard

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

data

Roll

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

data

Rib knit

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

data

Jersey knit

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

data

Your spec

Bring your own pattern or tech pack and we build to it.

From roll shirt fabrics to your most elaborate vision

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.
