Undershirts

Build an undershirt collection around how your customer layers, moves and dresses. A shirt worn beneath business clothing needs different neckline coverage and body proportions from a base layer intended for casual use. Start with the wearing occasion, then develop the fabric, cut and finishing details together.

Choose the right layering profile

Compare crew and V-neck directions against the outer garments your customers wear. Consider where the neckline sits, whether sleeves remain concealed, and how much body length is needed for tucking. A close fit can reduce bunching, while additional ease may suit customers who prefer a looser first layer. Fit should be assessed on the intended wearer rather than inferred from a size label.

Set fabric and construction priorities

Use softness, thickness, stretch recovery and coverage as separate selection criteria. A light fabric may feel unobtrusive but needs an opacity check in each proposed color. Seams and labels deserve attention because they sit against the skin. If moisture management is part of the brief, define the intended claim and supporting test requirements before selecting a fabric.

• Specify neckline depth, sleeve length and tuck-in or untucked use.
• Compare fabric swatches for touch, stretch, coverage and compatibility with the planned care instructions.
• Discuss labeling, color assortment and single-piece or multipack presentation.

Review the sample as a layer

Try the sample under representative shirts, check reach and seated movement, and reassess its dimensions after agreed laundering. Review neckline visibility, hem movement and seam contact together.

Undershirt sourcing questions

Does every undershirt include moisture-wicking performance?

No. Review the moisture-wicking undershirt development reference to plan the evidence needed for that direction.

How are minimums and timing established?

They depend on the fabric, colors, construction and order breakdown. Request confirmation for your project.
