Summer is nearly here, and for many people, that means switching out the heavier fabrics of winter with the lighter ones of the warmer seasons.
If you are someone who is opening a shop, a kiosk, or a market stall, warmer weather will mean that your staff will need to be comfortable, while also showcasing the logo or brand of your business.
With staff comfort in mind, especially in more manual jobs, what are some of the most breathable fabrics that you can choose from to help your staff feel fresh and look professional on the job? Here, they will be explored and there is more of them than just cotton!
Cotton
OK, so starting with cotton, this fabric is breathable, meaning it absorbs and disperses moisture quickly, making it the ideal fabric for staff t shirts Fort Worth.
It is also affordable, meaning that when you are choosing it as the t-shirt fabric for your staff, it won’t cost you and arm or a leg. Be aware that some of the higher-end cotton materials may take longer to dry, so, it may be best to opt for a cotton blend for staff with very manual jobs.
Bamboo
In recent years, bamboo t-shirts, socks, and even underwear have become trendy due in part to eco-conscious groups pushing for it to replace cotton as the main fabric used in clothing.
Why? Well, bamboo requires less water, can be dyed just as easily as cotton, and, for the sake of your staff on a hot day, absorbs sweat, draws it away from the skin, and reduces rashes. It should be noted, however, that in some cases, bamboo does not disperse sweat odors as well as cotton does, so be aware when choosing it as your staff uniform fabric.
Linen
Many people think that linen is a lighter form of cotton, but not so!
It is natural, like cotton, but instead comes from the flax plant. It is lightweight, breathable, and, like cotton and bamboo, moisture-wicking, which is ideal for staff who may be working at a kiosk on a scorching day. The only potential issue you may face with linen clothing for staff is that it is prone to fading. If you opt for linen clothing for your staff, try to keep your store colors white or beige for the hotter seasons!
Modal
Another natural material that is becoming more popular in clothing is modal. This made from the pulp of the beech tree and is renowned for its silky-smooth texture.
It can be dyed and washed as easily as cotton, and while it may be a bit pricier, it will look classy. Uniforms or t-shirts made from modal will absorb and disperse sweat quickly and will also absorb odors too.
Polyester Blends
If you are looking for a more ‘all-purpose’ t-shirt for your staff that does offer breathability without a hefty price tag, you should look into polyester blends. These are fabrics that are polyester mixed with bamboo, cotton, or even linen or modal, which offer enhanced breathability, with the comfort and softness range that can come with polyester materials.
