T-shirts are comfortable to wear everyday. There are people who like to wear plain T-shirts, some others prefer T-shirts with prints on it. Apparently, the material used to make T-shirts is not always the same. Summarized from rivetpress.com and clothes2order.com, there are 8 of the best materials used to make T-shirts:
Cotton
Cotton is definitely the most common material to find in a t-shirt. It has a nice mix of softness, affordability, and breathability for casual wear. Cotton also has different kinds, like combed cotton and organic cotton. One of the biggest downsides to cotton is that it shrinks after the first warm wash.
Linen
Linen isn’t quite as common a material for t-shirts, and can more commonly be found in jackets and light outer layers. Linen is made from a flax plant that has a textured weave. Linen is a very lightweight material and tends to dry quickly, so it’s a good choice for summertime clothing. The nature of the fabric means that when it’s damp, it’s stronger, so with repeated washes it will only get better. The downside to Linen t-shirts is that they crease very easy and often require careful ironing.
Polyester
Polyester is the go-to choice for many looking for sports apparel. This material is quick-drying, breathable, doesn’t wrinkle easily, and holds it’s shape well when washed. After several washes a polyester t-shirt will maintain its shape and resist shrinking or stretching, making it an excellent material for athletic wear.
Rayon

This material is made from a blend of cotton, trees and woody plants. Like polyester, rayon is a good material for athletic and outdoor wear because of its lightweight feel. One of the downsides to rayon is that it doesn’t tend to last well over time and can become wrinkled with repeated wears.
Poly/Cotton Blend
Poly/Cotton combines the best qualities of polyester and cotton into a breathable yet soft shirt. This blend of cotton and polyester provides a light and cool feel. It takes the wrinkle resistance of cotton and the strength of polyester all mixed into one making and is great for everyday use with its soft feel and great shape that holds through any wash.
Triblends
The triblends is exactly what you might guess: a hybrid of three different fabrics weaved together. This material is made from a blend of cotton, polyester and rayon. The advantage of a hybrid is that it can adopt some of the best qualities of the other fabrics, like the lightweight feel of rayon but the softness of cotton. We’ve found that triblends can offer a really nice balance between style, comfort and durability in t-shirts.
Lycra
This stretchy material is often added to shirts to give more flexibility. It’s also often found in athletic apparel as it allows for better ease of movement and stretch when wearing Lycra.
Flannel
This material has a brushed texture that makes it very popular for the cooler months of the year. It’s most commonly used for shirts. If using Flannel, you should bear in mind that it needs to be washed carefully in order to avoid feeling itchy and shrinking. It’s an unusual choice of material for a t-shirt, but is great for winter and will keep you cosy.
