- Check seams, neckband, and hem when buying.
Factors Influencing T-shirt Quality

- Organic cotton is healthy, produced without chemicals for quality fabrics.
- Durable materials reflect quality in various colors and sizes.
- Examine a T-shirt’s stitching for smoothness without puckering or gathering.

- Quality prints and embroidery withstand washing without deterioration.
- Consider fit, sizing options, and details like buttons for quality evaluation.
