Default What types of fabric are good?

Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie. Nice to meet you all! I'm planning to build a t-shirts store online. However, all things are new to me. One of my friend said that people usually use 100% cotton or 65-35 (65% cotton and 35% polyester) for making t-shirt. Does 65-35 t-shirt have good quality?
Could you suggest me other types of fabric? Thanks a lot!
Best regard!

I think your safe with 100% cotton. We have been selling them for 10 years and have very few requests for any other materials. Good luck.

I think cotton 100% is okay, but it's not very durable and easy to "bristle". Have mixed with polyester make its surface look great.

Seems like most people will use 100% Cotton because its the most durable fabric to use. But i think its more of a person preference and the style that you want to provide that determines what type of material you want to use.

If you want something with more stretch or if you want to use a better finish, you'll probably need to use a blended fabric.

I also prefer 100% cotton. It has good handfeel and nice breath for skin.

In my opinion 100% cotton would be the best option and less risky. Because mixed with polyester your t shirts won't be much comfortable. By providing pure cotton you can get customer satisfaction a lot!

I like 100% cotton, but how well does that work with JetPro SoftStretch heat transfers? I understand that you should use 50/50 with this transfer.
