Striped T-Shirt Fabrics: Yarn-Dyed Jersey, Rib and Stripe Repeats
The stripe begins at the yarn cone, not the print table. Coloured yarns are fed into the knitting machine in order, so every band is part of the jersey and keeps its edge through cutting, sewing and washing. Repeat width is approved on a knitted strike-off before bulk cloth is committed.
- Cotton single jersey with yarn-dyed feeder stripes
- Fine even two-colour Breton stripes
- Wide block stripes for bolder stories
- Cotton elastane jersey with gentle stretch
- Heather grounds carrying contrast stripe bands
- Slub jersey with soft textured surface
- Rib knit for collars and cuffs
- Striped interlock for firmer opaque cloth
- Other buyer-specified stripe cloths to your repeat
The plain grounds behind these stripes knit on the same machines as our core t-shirt programmes, so striped and plain styles in one range share weight, handle and shrinkage.
Striped T-Shirt Sizes, Fits and Size Ranges
Grading a striped garment asks one extra check beyond a plain style: the repeat has to sit level at the chest on the smallest and largest sizes alike. Size sets are graded from your chart, with chest, body length and sleeve length moving together and the stripe position confirmed on the base size.
Regular, relaxed and fitted blocks are cut to your patterns. A ladies line grades beside the mens range from our ladies t-shirt blocks, so one fit logic holds across mens, ladies and unisex styles.
Striped T-Shirt Construction: Stripe Matching, Seams and Finishes
A stripe only looks right when the bands meet cleanly where panels join. Cutters lay each body panel against the repeat before cutting, and machinists match bands across side seams, sleeve joins and pocket edges as the garment closes.
- Stripe bands matched across side seams
- Sleeves set with bands level at the join
- Rib knit collar, clean neckline finish
- Shoulder tape keeping the neckline line
- Coverstitched hems sitting flat over stripes
- Bar-tacked stress points, tidy finish
A chest pocket is cut so its stripes run true with the body beneath it, the same discipline used across our pocket t-shirt range: set square, secured, then the front closes.
Customising Your Striped T-Shirt: Stripe Widths, Colours and Labels
Customisation starts with the stripe: band width, spacing, colour order and ground shade are set at knitting, so your story is built into the cloth rather than added afterwards. Collar style, fit and finishing then follow your specification.
- Stripe width and spacing set to your repeat
- Ground and band colours matched to your palette
- Crew, V and henley necklines to your pattern
- Chest embroidery placed between stripe bands
- Your labels, hangtags and packing to artwork
Buyers in Denmark often pair a quiet Breton story with one seasonal colour for spring ranges. A buttoned neckline variant is developed alongside our henley t-shirt styles, so placket and crew versions share one stripe cloth.
Striped T-Shirt Sampling and Product Development for UK and Canada Buyers
Sampling turns your sketch, tech pack or reference garment into a finished striped t-shirt before bulk is committed. The stripe repeat is knitted as a strike-off, the pattern developed against it, and a pre-production sample is made in your base size with band positions checked against your artwork.
Neckline shapes are proven in the same round, from the crew body to the open neck of our v-neck t-shirt styles. Labels selling into Sweden often approve two stripe widths on one sample round, then release the stronger seller into bulk.
Striped T-Shirt Quality Assurance and Production Follow-Up
Our quality team checks your order at every stage instead of relying on assurances: fabric inspection, inline review and final packing run against the approved sample. As a family-run manufacturer, we hold that standard through bulk: your name sits on every t-shirt label.
- Yarn shades checked against your colour standard
- Stripe repeat measured on knitted cloth
- Bands matched at seams during inline checks
- Colourfastness tested for wash and rubbing
- Measurements reviewed against your chart pre-packing
- Final shirt-by-shirt inspection before cartons seal
Any shirt whose bands drift, twist or lose alignment is remade or rejected before packing, never passed through to your cartons.
Ordering Your Striped T-Shirt: Terms, Approvals and Repeat Orders
An order begins with whatever you have: a full tech pack, a bought sample or a sketch with stripe artwork. Drawing on 37 years of experience, our merchandisers answer with cloth and stripe options, a sampling route and a price built on your specification.
Terms are settled in writing ahead of production, with payment method, delivery timing and quantities confirmed for each t-shirt style. Your approvals govern sampling, pre-production and dispatch, so nothing ships that you have not signed off.
Shipping and Delivery of Your Striped T-Shirt Order
Each t-shirt is folded with the stripe front protected, packed to your instruction and cartoned under your marks. Goods leave through Chattogram port, and South Korea is covered by regular sailings for buyers supplying that market.
Sea freight carries bulk orders; air freight steps in when a launch date cannot move. Before booking you receive carton weights and dimensions, and dispatch is confirmed by your merchandiser on the day the container sails.
Striped T-Shirt Stories for Denmark and Sweden Buyers
Danish labels treat the Breton stripe as a permanent basic: narrow even bands on a white or cream ground, restocked season after season with the repeat never changing. The styling stays quiet, so the knitted stripe itself carries the garment and the fit block stays exactly as first approved.
Buyers serving Sweden plan the same story with close attention to colourfastness, asking for wash tests across both band colours before bulk knitting starts. Both markets work from one discipline: the stripe is developed to the buyer’s repeat, sampled on the chosen ground and approved before cutting begins.
How USA and UK Labels Build a Stripe Story
Labels in the USA often open with two stripe widths in core colours, then add a seasonal ground once the fit is proven. A striped t-shirt earns its place as a range staple, sitting between plain tees and printed stories in the line.
UK buyers lean on charcoal, olive and stone bands over light grounds, keeping the story clean for spring and summer drops. With the approved repeat, label artwork and packing list held on file, a repeat order moves directly to yarn booking.
Shipping to the USA, the UK and Australia
After the final inspection, cartons are sealed to your packing list and loaded for sailings out of Chattogram serving the USA, the UK and Australia weekly. Every carton carries your marks, and the packing list follows your format so your warehouse team can check quantities the moment the doors open.
For bulk orders we load sea containers; urgent launches move by air. You receive the packed carton weights and sizes ahead of booking, so the landed figure is known early, and dispatch is confirmed to you the day the vessel sails.
