We don't. It's just not a normal measurement for t-shirt knits.
When you say "thread count" do you mean singles? Like 20s, etc.?
i dont know much about thread count measurments... they the producers in bengladesh asked me what thread count i want... i didnt know the standard chart for it so i told them tht ill call back
so how do you do it... a 10.1 oz gildan t-shirt, is it 20 thread count... single or double
sorry about lack of knowledge here and thanks for your help
the producers in bengladesh asked me what thread count i want
Can they send over some fabric swatches? That way you can assess the quality of their fabric, and feel it for yourself to give you an idea of which one you want to use.

"Thread count" is something I expect to hear in relation to weaves rather than knits, but maybe that's just my ignorance.
My understanding is that the measurement I think you mean refers to the yarn itself. The fineness (and quality) of the yarn that makes up the fabric. And while that would heavily correlate to fabric weight, it would be a separate measurement.

In this case there's nothing to be sorry about - I don't even fully understand the system myself. Once you stray out of the more common measurements (like GSM and oz/yard) it gets hard to get easy to understand information. There are some relatively complex measures.
Which is why sometimes it's better to have actual fabrics - they trump numbers anyway, and make it a lot easier to understand what you're comparing.
If you just want to do some converting to get a vague idea of numbers, the more upmarket brands (like Article1) sometimes include the weight in singles of their t-shirts.

they will not send me a small sample because these people export through out the world to companies like walmart, sears etc and they only take you seriously if you order one container as a sample... lol
the defination of thread count is
"Thread count refers to the number of threads, both vertical and horizontal, in a one-inch square of fabric"
