2 T-shirts, same RN#, same company, Different material feel?
I purchased a couple blank T's from Foot-locker. They're the same color, 100% Cotton, and same RN# 69778. One is made in Honduras the other made in Mauritius.
The T-shirts feel completely different from one another. The Honduras T feels stiffer, the Mauritius one feels softer and more ellasticy. The cut seems to be slightly different too. Should they be the same is they have the same RN#?
I like the one from Honduras, how can I find more of those? It's really hard to find them in stores.

I've experienced this same thing ordering Jerzees. Same tee, different locations, equals pretty much two different shirts that could hardly compare to each other. One was from El Salvador, the other Honduras. One was thinner, actually see thru, different neck stitching, overall, cheaper appearance. I guess it happens.

One thing to remember about the RN# is that it isn't necessarily style-specific.
A company could have 1 RN# and put that 1 RN# on multiple styles of shirts. Many times companies will use different materials for different styles and in other cases different material for the same style.
This is not uncommon with a company that manufactures in more than 1 country. They will get their cotton/fabric from the same country that actually makes the shirt. So, the fabric will be different from country-to-country.
But again, the RN# is no indication whatsoever of whether the shirts will be similar.
