Why is there differences in the feel of 100% cotton shirts?
This is because of the different grades of cotton which are determined by the manufacturing standards of garment construction. The weave of the cloth and the thread counts determine the ‘weights’ of the shirt. You hear of 6.1 ounce shirts (the more common structured and used) such as the Hanes Beefy-T and you hear of 5.4 or 5.5 ounce shirts, which are lighter in feel because they are not constructed in the same manner. There are several grades of cotton…generally, the cheaper a base shirt is, the cheaper grade of manufactured cloth.
