Heathered T-Shirts -- What's that?



What Is a Heather T-Shirt?

The term "heather" refers to the specks of grey in the fabric interwoven with other fabric fibers.


It is primarily a 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester. These blends provide all of the durability of polyester combined with the softness of cotton that creates a comfortable shirt all around. They should not shrink as much or wrinkle in the wash like the 100% cotton shirts will.


A heather t-shirt is or can sometimes be referred to as a tri-blend because it is a combination of three different fibers. Namely cotton, polyester, and rayon.


Heather T-Shirts vs Solid T-Shirts

Vintage Look - A style trend that is trending in and because heather t-shirts are made from two or three different woven fibers and dipped so the colors are more subtle and may display as a deliberate fade and thus a good choice to go with for those seeking intentionally vintage shirts.


A Change from the norm - because it is one that is different from the usual run-of-the-mill standard t-shirt, a heathered t-shirt will give you a new style.
