In all kinds of clothing products, t-shirt is the price fluctuation of the largest category, it is difficult to determine the price level, why the price of t-shirt has such a big change range? t-shirt price deviation is in the supply chain of which link produced?
1.Production chain: materials, design lay the foundation for price
Cotton is the highest frequency of t-shirt use of a fabric, in most people’s cognition, the cotton content and the quality of t-shirts, so why the same cotton t-shirts, the price difference is still very large? One of the reasons lies in the cotton fabric is actually divided into a number of orders.
Cotton has three concepts: count, grammage, and density.
Count refers to the length of cotton spun into thread per unit weight of cotton;
Grammage is the weight in grams per unit weight of cotton fabric;
Density is the number of cotton threads per ten centimeters of length.
The higher the count, the denser the better the quality, the higher the grammage, the fabric is not easy to penetrate. The value of these three concepts is to judge the cotton fabric grade and quality standards, at the same time the higher the three values, the higher the price of the t-shirt will be.
There is also some cost involved in the design of the fit. A t-shirt with a three-dimensional cut and a more comfortable fit may cost more.
2.Processing segment: treatment, printing bring value-added zones
Three of the most worrisome problems with t-shirts: pilling, neckline distortion, and shrinkage.
Some manufacturers will do processing treatment on t-shirts, such as etching treatment to prevent t-shirts from pilling; anti-shrinkage treatment to prevent t-shirts from shrinking; ribbed neckline to prevent deformation. T-shirts that have been processed tend to have a longer life cycle.
Some prints will fall off in chunks or lose color because of the use of poor quality paste or inexperience in processing. High-quality printing materials will slightly increase the cost of printing, but at the same time reduce the t-shirt worries.
3.Service link: multiple premiums for platforms, middlemen
Some t-shirts go through multiple premiums from shopping platforms and middlemen which also result in price increases. But this price increase does not bring about a change in quality. So the best way to buy t-shirts is to customize your favorite t-shirts directly from a professional customization website with direct factories.
