Fabrics for your Galen

For the Galen T-Shirt, we recommend knit fabrics with 2-way stretch or a stable 4-way stretch, which even includes lightweight french terry. We suggest cotton jersey, cotton/spandex jersey, cotton interlock, merino jersey, merino interlock, lightweight french terry. The neckband is sewn using ribbing.

We really love the way structured fabrics with limited drape highlight the dramatic shape of this excellently large tee, but we also tested it out with stable jersey and jersey with quite a bit of stretch (but not much weight).
