Cuffed, slouchy, pom and fisherman beanies laid out side by side in different knits

Types of Beanies: Styles, Knits and How to Choose the Right One

A beanie is usually a close-fitting knit hat without a brim, though hybrids like the visor beanie add a short one. Beyond that, the differences that matter are smaller: how long the knit runs, whether there’s a cuff, how tall the crown is, and how much of your ears it covers. This guide covers ten recognizable beanie styles, then looks at the knits, materials and features that change how they feel. GotApparel has supplied blank and custom apparel since 2007, and our beanie collection runs to more than 100 styles from over 20 brands including

Types of Fleece Fabric: How Polar, Micro, Sherpa and Sweatshirt Fleece Differ

Fleece isn’t one material but a family of soft, lofty fabrics. What they share is a napped or pile surface that traps warm air, and what sets them apart is the fiber (usually polyester, sometimes a cotton blend, historically wool), how that surface is made, and how heavy the fabric is. That’s why the word can describe a warehouse crew’s plush jacket, a school’s spirit-wear hoodie and a velvety throw blanket, three things that feel nothing alike. You’ll hear fleece described by its fiber, its surface, its construction and its brand name, often all at

Types of Shirt Printing: 7 Methods and the Blanks for Each

The main types of shirt printing, also called t-shirt printing methods, are screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG), direct-to-film (DTF), dye sublimation, heat transfer vinyl, plastisol transfers and embroidery, which uses thread instead of ink.

29 Types of Pants for Men and Women: Names, Cuts and What Each Is Best For

Few clothing words stretch as far as “pants” A flannel pajama bottom, a pressed work pant and a football pant with pockets sewn in for pads all qualify, and they share little beyond a waistband and two legs. So a search for the different types of pants usually means one of two things: someone trying to put a name to a style they’ve seen, or someone trying to choose the right style for a job, a team or a store shelf. This guide is meant to help with both. GotApparel has supplied blank and custom

Types of sweaters and cardigans guide — crewneck, V-neck, cardigan and quarter-zip styles for men and women

Types of Sweaters and Cardigans for Men and Women, by Neckline, Closure and Knit

Most people describe a sweater by one thing — “crewneck” or “cardigan” — without realizing those two words are answering completely different questions. One is about the neckline, the other is about how the front closes, and a single sweater can be both at once. This guide breaks sweaters and cardigans down by the three things that actually distinguish one from another: neckline, closure style, and knit pattern, since those categories overlap constantly rather than sitting in neat, separate boxes. What this guide covers: neckline styles, closure and front styles, knit patterns and textures, sweater
