Question Ringspun vs Organic

Hi, I'm a noob to the t-shirt biz and I'm grateful to this site!

RE: Rinspun vs Organic

I'd really like to know what you savvy professionals prefer to use.

I'm also wondering if there are any significant quality differences between ringspun and organic cotton (not bamboo)

I'd also like to know if there's a wholesale price difference between the two fabric types?

Thanks,

Organic is a type of cotton. Ringspun is a weave method.

There are organic tees. Ringspun tees. And there are organic ringspun tee.

Pricing will vary among manufacturers.

Ideally both; they're not mutually exclusive. If going for one over the other, ringspun probably just slightly edges out organic if you're looking at cost, softness, value for money, etc. Organic wins hands down if environmental considerations enter into your decision making.
