Kids T-Shirt Fabric Guide
Six constructions — from ultra-light muslin gauze for newborns to durable interlock for school-age programmes. All certified to OEKO-TEX Class 1 or GOTS where specified.
Single Jersey Combed Cotton
120–160 GSM
The primary construction for kids T-shirts worldwide. Combed cotton single jersey delivers a clean, smooth face ideal for water-based screen print and DTG — the two safest decoration methods for children's skin. At 120–140 GSM it is ideal for summer and warm-climate markets; 140–160 GSM works year-round. GOTS and OEKO-TEX Class 1 certification available across the range.
Best for
100% combed ring-spun cotton or organic cotton. GSM 120–160. Reactive dyed with azo-free pigments. GOTS and OEKO-TEX Class 1 certified mills available.
Interlock
150–200 GSM
Interlock is double-knit construction — two single jersey layers locked together — giving it exceptional durability and dimensional stability. It does not curl at the edges, making it the preferred construction for school uniforms, childrenswear basics and active kids programmes. The heavier weight and firm hand feel position it as a premium option in the kids category.
Best for
100% combed cotton or organic cotton interlock. GSM 150–200. Smooth on both sides. Anti-pilling treatment available.
Rib (1×1)
140–200 GSM
Rib 1×1 is the preferred construction for newborn and infant T-shirts and bodysuits. The vertical rib structure provides exceptional stretch and recovery — critical for dressing babies without discomfort. Envelope necklines and snap closures integrate naturally with rib. Works across the full age range; heavier rib weights suit older kids' fashion programmes.
Best for
100% combed cotton rib. GSM 140–200. Elastane options (95/5) available for performance fit. GOTS certified organic cotton available.
Muslin / Double Gauze
90–130 GSM
Muslin and double gauze T-shirts are growing rapidly in premium baby markets — US boutique, EU eco retail, Australian organics. The open weave structure maximises airflow for newborns and infants in warm climates. Double gauze (two layers of muslin) provides a gentle body without weight. The fabric softens progressively with washing — a quality appreciated by new parents.
Best for
100% organic cotton muslin. GSM 90–130. GOTS certified processing. Typically sold undyed or in natural/pale-dyed tones.
French Terry (Lightweight)
180–240 GSM
Lightweight French terry bridges the T-shirt and sweatshirt categories — ideal for autumn/winter kids collections and transitional-season toddler tops. The smooth face accepts screen print and embroidery cleanly; the looped interior provides warmth without bulk. Popular in EU kidswear markets where layering is standard.
Best for
100% combed cotton French terry. GSM 180–240. Loop-back interior. GOTS organic cotton available.
Organic Cotton Jersey
120–180 GSM
GOTS-certified organic cotton jersey is the material of choice for sustainable kidswear brands in Germany, Japan, Scandinavia and USA premium boutique. Fully traceable from certified farm to finished garment. Dyed with GOTS-approved azo-free dyes. The OCS (Organic Content Standard) blended option is available for transition-stage programmes.
Best for
100% GOTS certified organic cotton. GSM 120–180. OCS blended option available. No chlorine bleach, no formaldehyde finishes, no azo dyes.
