Default Ladies tanks tops: what is ribbed 2x1 1x1?

Can someone explain the 1x1 rib tank top and the 2x1 rib tank top. What do the numbers actually mean as well as the term rib?

they designate the width of the "peaks and valleys" of the rib. A 1x1 has "peaks" the same width as the "valleys". 1x2 has "peaks" that are either twice as wide as the "valleys" or are half as wide, I can't remember for sure. Someone here will though.

I am enclosing a photo of a tank we sell that is a Silver for Her Hanes Cami 1x1 rib. The fabric isnt ribbed at all its quite flat. Ribbed and Rib I think might define two completely different characteristics. I am wondering if RIB doesnt mean length?

2x1 rib tanks are sometimes called beater tanks. You can actually see and feel the ridges. Attached is an image showing the ribbing on a 2x1 tank.

the term "rib" isn't used for length. rib is knit different then regular jersey, there is some stretch to it. just like they said above there are ridges in it that allow some stretch. rib is used for the collar on a tshirt, or cuff on a long sleeve shirt. you can also get combed cotton rib which is very soft and stretchy. cotton rib shirts are popular with the women right now. some people call them "girlie" shirts. they are form fitting and usually shorter in length. hope that helps. edski.

So a 1x1 or baby rib isnt noticable but a 2x1 is?

hi moto, 1 x 1 rib is a little stretchy and not that noticeable, now a 2 x 1 rib is VERY stretchy and noticeable. they used to make tanks for the old timers out of 2 x 1 rib, they were very stretchy. i don't see 2 x 1 rib used too often anymore. good luck! Edski.

At a distance, yes. Up close they're both quite obvious.
