Fabric Comparison

Combed Cotton vs Carded Cotton

How cotton is prepared changes its softness, strength and price.

Combed Cotton Carded Cotton
Softness Smoother, finer Slightly coarser
Strength Stronger, less pilling More prone to pilling
Cost Higher Lower
Best for Premium tees Value basics

Our recommendation

Use combed cotton for premium, retail-grade tees; carded is fine for value or promotional runs.
