Airlume Cotton Advanced Purification
Advanced fiber selection and cleaning that removes more impurities and short fibers than standard combing. Result: noticeably softer hand feel and a smoother surface for high‑resolution prints on our Airlume SKUs.
Combed Cotton Mechanical Refinement
Conventional combing process that already upgrades basic carded cotton by removing a portion of short fibers. Delivers improved softness and reduced pilling on select non‑Airlume products at a more accessible cost.
Ring-Spun Yarn Tensile Strength
Fibers are twisted and thinned simultaneously in a continuous motion. This increases tensile strength and produces a smoother, more uniform yarn compared to cheap carded open‑end cotton.
Yarn Gauge (Singles) 20–32 Index
The singles count describes yarn thickness: the higher the number, the finer the yarn and tighter the knit. grabNade uses both 32 singles (finer, smoother) and 20 singles (thicker, more robust), depending on the intended use case.
Side-Seamed Construction Geometry
Unlike cheap "tubular" tees, our chassis uses side seams. This creates a tailored fit that follows human torso geometry rather than a generic cylinder.
Shoulder Taping Reinforcement
A continuous fabric strip sewn across the shoulder seam. Prevents structural warping and seam blowout under tension.
Twin-Needle Topstitch Durability
Parallel stitching rows on hems and sleeves. Distributes tension loads evenly, preventing thread snapping during mechanical washing.
