GERTEX APPAREL MANUFACTURING AND SOURCING AGENCY

Baby Rib
Our baby rib is flexible, durable and allows for a 100% stretch. This fabric provides a perfect surface for prints, embroidery or heat transfers. The weight of Baby Rib is 5.8 ounces per square yard or 195 grams per square meter. All styles beginning with "4" are made with baby rib.

2x1 Rib
This fabric is inspired by the Eisenhower-era undershirt. Our 2x1 Rib is unrivaled because it is made with finer, combed ring spun cotton, with wider, textured ribbing. This fabric weighs 6.0 ounces per square yard or 200 grams per square meter. All styles beginning with "3" are made with 2x1 rib.

 

Loop Terry
Made of 80% combed cotton and 20% polyester, this luxuriously soft fabric offers impeccable comfort. A trans-seasonal fabric, loop terry weighs 6.5 ounces per square yard or 220 grams per square meter. All styles beginning with "9" are made with Loop Terry.

Thermal
This new fabric is a poly-cotton fusion that is both lightweight and warm. A super-soft feel with a stretch, the Thermal offers a flattering fit for men and women.

 

Sheer Jersey
Sheer jersey is pre-shrunk and is one of the lightest jerseys ever produced in the garment industry. This fabric is knit slightly more loosely than our fine jersey, adding additional stretch. Sheer Jersey is an excellent surface for printing. It weighs 3.9 ounces per square yard or 135 grams per square meter. All styles beginning with "6" are made with sheer jersey.

 

Fine Jersey
This fabric is the most printable in the industry. It is also the most comfortable because it is knit with 30-singles combed ring spun cotton. Intentionally lighter in weight, fine jersey remains just as opaque as heavier fabric, yet weighs only 4.3 ounces per square yard or 145 grams per square meter. All styles beginning with "2" are made with fine jersey.

Mélange Jersey
Made of 70% combed cotton and 30% polyester, this new fabric has a retro look and soft feel. Be sure to check out our new Gym Ts M304 and M434. This fabric weighs 4.3 ounces per square yard or 145 grams per square meter. All styles beginning with "M" are made with Mélange.

 

Cotton Spandex Jersey
This luxurious fabric is extremely common in the retail market. Made with 40-single yarn and comprised of 5% spandex for support, its structural value is epitomized by our Hot Short. This fabric weighs 5 ounces per square yard or 170 grams per square meter. All styles beginning with "8" are made with cotton spandex jersey.

Thick Knit Jersey
Thick-knit jersey is a 50/50 combed cotton/polyester blend that is durable and heavier in weight than our fine jersey. While its thickness resembles conventional jersey, this fabric is exceptionally soft, offering maximum comfort. The weight of thick-knit jersey is 7.3 ounces per square yard or 228 grams per square  meter.

 

California Fleece
Made of 100% combed cotton instead of the conventional cotton/polyester blend, our fleece is intentionally lightweight, warm and does not pill. Pre-laundered for reduced shrinkage. This fabric weighs 7.2 ounces per square yard or 245 grams per meter. All styles beginning with "5" are made with California Fleece.

Interlock
Heavy in weight and opaque to the eye, this fabric is used for only a few of our garments. Interlock is great blank but is also perfect for prints, embroidery and heat transfers. The weight of this fabric is 7.3 ounces per square yard or 250 grams per square meter. All styles beginning with "7" are made with Interlock.

 

Quite simply, the difference between our cotton and the cotton of other leading brands is the finishing process. Our combed ring spun cotton crafted from 30-singles yarn knitted on a 28-gauge knitting maching is noticeably softer and higher in quality than the carded cotton used by other brands.

Combed Cotton Fibers

Ring spun/30-Single Yarn

Finer 28-Gauge Weave

The combing process separates 80% of the more desirable (longer, thinner, more even) fibers from the less desirable (shorter, coarser, less consistent) fibers.

A higher count of thinner fibers are tightly twisted together to make a stronger, smoother, finer (30) gauge thread.

30-singles yarn is woven on a 28-gauge machine, producing a finer-knit fabric that is softer and lighter to touch.

Carded Cotton Fibers

Open-Ended/18-Single Yarn

Knitted on a 20-Gauge Machine

Carded cotton is a mixture of ragged, thicker, short fibers. Cheaper for manufacturers to produce, this cotton is rough, heavy and lower in quality.

Fewer coarser fibers are blown together, resulting in a loosely bound, thicker (18) gauge, heavier, rougher thread.

Most cotton jersey is created on a 20-gauge knitting machine. The result is a looser knit, heavier material that is coarse to the touch.

Printability

 OUR best-quality fabrics and styles for screenprinting and other embellishments. Each style's 30-singles combed ring spun cotton surface is exceptionally smooth and tight-knit, making for a superior canvas to adorn.

Superior Printability

Our 30-singles combed ring spun cotton fabric is the best possible surface for high-resolution screen printing, embroidery and embellishment.

Printability

The 18-singles open-ended cotton used by other leading brands does not yield comparable results to what can be achieved when using our fabric.
