Hello all!
I am a beginner in the clothing/t-shirt business and have some questions that I cant seem to get answered?
1. I want to know what/why is the reason that 2 shirts can be made from polyester and spandex but one shirt will be 84%poly, 16% spandex, the other shirt will be 90%poly, 10% spandex. Polyester and spandex are an example (also could have used cotton and elastane). Why and how the percentages are picked are my real question.
Thank you for all your help ahead of time! Hopefully I did not lose you.

Each garment mfg. has their own specifications. You just have to choose what works for you and stick with it. God Bless.

The more spandex, the more stretch the garment will have.

also polyester is cheaper than spandex
