In the hot summer, almost everyone has a versatile T-shirt, but the basic T-shirts look the same, and a search on a certain app shows that the prices vary widely. ah! The difference is more than one 0! ! ! For example, the same T-shirt sold by Li Xian at the airport some time ago can be purchased at the lowest price on a certain store for 98 yuan! OMG!
Many people think that T-shirts are difficult to take care of. It seems very clever to throw away one piece after wearing it; People think that T-shirts are very practical for daily wear, so it makes sense to invest in a big-name brand with high-quality fabrics and comfortable fit.
In the luxury goods industry, T-shirts printed with a few English words can be sold for more than tens of thousands of yuan. This makes many people wonder why these ordinary-looking luxury T-shirts are more expensive than UNIQLO’s 99 yuan a piece and H&M’s 99 yuan. How much does a three-piece T-shirt cost?
Today, the editor will explain to you what is the difference between a 100-yuan T-shirt and a 1,000-yuan T-shirt!
NO.1 – Material
When we are shopping, we often see “100% cotton, no wrinkles, no deformation”. Many people are very convinced that this must be the best. I want to tell you for sure that this must be the best. Fake! Cotton has strong water absorption, so 100% cotton is easily wrinkled and deformed! Moreover, T-shirts made of this type of material have poor elasticity and support, and they do not look good when worn on the body.
Some people think that 100% cotton is pure cotton. In fact, it is not. When the cotton content reaches more than 70%, it can be called “pure cotton”. Fabrics containing other ingredients can add to the T-shirt fabric, such as water absorption and drainage. Modal and polyester fabrics that are very effective in sweating, as well as T-shirts made with nylon, spandex and other elastic fabrics that have a silky feel on the upper body.
T-shirts worth over a thousand yuan will carefully study the adding ratio to prevent problems such as deformation and shrinkage, but T-shirts worth 100 yuan do not have this problem. Compared with 100% cotton T-shirts, you deserve a 100% cotton T-shirt.
NO.2 – Weight and count
The so-called gram weight is the “thinness/thickness” of the T-shirt. The number of grams of cotton per square meter of the T-shirt is the gram weight. The heavier the weight, the thicker the clothes. Summer T-shirts need to be comfortable and breathable, so 180-220 grams is just right.
Count refers to the average number of yards of cotton yarn fiber length in one pound. T-shirts are generally 21 and 32. The higher the yarn count, the finer, thinner and better the feel of the knitted clothes.
In order to save costs, many cheap T-shirts will cut corners in terms of grams or count, which will lead to various pattern problems. Cause embarrassment.
NO.3 – Printing and dyeing
Printing and dyeing is the most important step. There are basically three methods of printing and dyeing, transfer printing and digital Printing and screen printing, the first two types are basically used for 100-yuan T-shirts. They are cheap. Although the color is bright, the durability is too poor, and the printing becomes mottled after a few washes. Thousand-yuan T-shirts are usually screen-printed. , the color and durability will be very good.
NO.4 —— Design
As people’s aesthetics continue to improve, when buying clothes, they not only consider the material and style, but also the material and style. Pay attention to the tailoring and design of a piece of clothing. Often good tailoring and design can perfectly cover your body defects, while bad ones can perfectly cover your body defects.This is difficult to achieve with tailoring.
NO.5 – Shoulder line
T-shirt is definitely not as simple as sewing two pieces of cloth together, each additional seam line , can better ensure that it will not deform and wrinkle. The shoulder line is properly positioned, which can well modify the body shape and prevent the neckline from becoming loose or deformed after being worn for a long time. Hundred-yuan T-shirts will not consider these problems.
NO.6 – Neckline
The second step is the neckline. Good T-shirts will have stitching reinforcement on the collar to prevent Deformation; the size of the neck opening is also very particular. A good design will well modify your neck shape, cover shortcomings and reveal advantages.
NO.7 – Details
The success or failure of anything lies in the details, and the same goes for clothes, such as the location of the wash label and collar label The size and material will affect the wearing experience of a T-shirt.
NO.8 ——Brand Value
No matter how scarce the materials are or how sophisticated the handwork is, it cannot be worth a simple The brand value behind the only logo on the white T. There is a powerful story behind each brand, which cannot be measured by money.
We all know very well that the cost of a thousand-yuan T-shirt is only a few hundred yuan, and the rest is used for brand promotion, but we still have to buy it, more often than not for vanity, but for a sense of identification with the brand. .
