A one-stop-shop for T shirts

With 32 styles and 42 colours to choose from, Fruit of the Loom really is a one-stop-shop when it comes to T shirts. With an enviable pedigree of more than 160 years, the company certainly knows a thing or two about garment manufacture. But that doesn’t mean Fruit is complacent, with innovations such as Sofspun continuing to drive the company forward.

The Fruit of the Loom T shirt range includes 100% cotton fashion fit Sofspun T’s, 100% cotton Belcoro yarn Valueweight Ts, Original and Heavy Ts, Super Premium Ts, Lady-Fit cotton/elastane Ts and 100% polyester Performance Ts.

No piece about Fruit of the Loom T shirts would be complete without its revolutionary Sofspun. This 100% cotton T has all the print and environmental benefits of open-end yarn, but with the soft feel of combed ringspun cotton. Now available in men’s, lady-fit, boys and girls (160/165gsm) sizes, they are perfect for retail, tourism, licensing, music merchandising and corporate wear. All styles are available in 10 bold colours: sunflower, red, orange, Kelly green, royal blue, fuchsia, heather grey, deep navy, black and white. Plus, light pink is also available in girls only. Men’s sizes S-3XL, ladies sizes XS-2XL, boys and girls in ages 3-15.

The 100% cotton Valueweight T (160/165gsm) is one of Fruit’s legendary styles and is produced using Belcoro yarn, providing a clean print surface for top quality printing and efficient print runs. Less pilling, enhanced durability and improved washing performance are just some of the benefits of this yarn. A multitude of T shirt styles are available in the Valueweight fabric, including crew-necks, v-necks and vests across men, ladies and kids.

Another customer favourite is the 100% cotton Original T (135/145gsm), hugely popular for large volume promotions and single event uniform. In 2015 it gets a colourful makeover with nine new colours added, giving customers a palette of 19 colours to choose from. New colours include lime, purple and light graphite.

If your customer requires a T shirt that stands up to the rigours of workwear and can be washed time and time again at 60°C, then Fruit’s Super Premium Ts are up to the job. The short sleeve version comes in a wide range of 18 colours while there’s also a long sleeve version in staple black and white.

Men’s, lady-fit and kids Performance T’s (140gsm) continue to be real winners with clubs, schools and individuals searching for stylish, robust sportswear. With a palette of eight colours, these moisture-wicking, quick-drying Ts are made to perform.

The majority of the T shirts manufactured by Fruit of the Loom are made in their own state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Morocco, which has been awarded a Gold WRAP certification. In addition, all Fruit of the Loom T shirts are made from ethically produced yarn with the majority of the cotton sourced from the USA. They are also Oeko-Tex Standard 100 approved, certifying they contain no substances that are harmful to either people or the environment.
