The following is the main Green Guy T-Shirts Guide to comprehending t-shirt terms:
20s, 20/1, 20s single: Unit of measurement that specifies the fineness of cotton thread. A standard spindle of single-ply cotton thread is consisted of 840 lawns of cotton thread. If it takes 20 spools to weigh one pound, then the thread on those spools is described as 20s cotton, or 20/1. If 30 spools weigh one pound, then the thread on those spindles is described as 30s cotton thread, or 30/1. If it takes 40 spindles to weigh one pound, then the thread on those spools is described as 40s cotton, or 40/1. The higher number suggests a finer thread, and thus a finer, softer fabric is created. T-shirts made from 30s and 40s are softer, finer, and have better drape than tee shirts made of 20s. The terms are used lots of ways, but it's the number that counts; "20s," "20/1," and "20 singles" are the same. Threads can be twisted together into thicker strands. If two 20/1 cotton threads were twisted together, it would be described as 20/2.
Bamboo Material: Rayon made from bamboo cellulose. Rayon is a man-made artificial material, many experts agree it is easily eco-friendly. Bamboo fabric is very soft and has outstanding drape.
Bamboo: Fast growing plant, classified as a yard, which can be easily processed into rayon to make bamboo rayon clothes.
Bleach Wash: A procedure that uses bleach to soften and distress the look of the fabric being washed.
