cotton

Cotton is the most familiar natural staple in kidswear tees, underwear, school shirts, and many woven bases. Hand, strength, and shrinkage depend on yarn, weave or knit, and finishing—not on the fiber name alone. Blends with polyester or elastane are common for recovery and care. This hub lists fabric guides that commonly include cotton; confirm blend percentage and wash results on approved headers.

How to Compare These Fabrics

Cards open full fabric guides—definition, kidswear uses, and how similar names differ—not marketing swatch books.

Compare structure and finish first, then fiber content on the care label. Two knits in this family can still differ in GSM, stretch, pilling, and wash behavior.
