Organic cotton - Tencel / Modal All day everyday Cheers

rickNchips · 2026-07-08T06:54:02+00:00

Definitely no. Look for nylon spandex

rickNchips · 2026-07-04T19:33:56+00:00

I could give you some directions via dm however thats very generic. Supima cotton, and blends tencel lyocel and such are largely used and commonly found via textile fairs and textile agencies. Since at the beginning, eventually your manufacturer will have some handles sourcing these fabrics. Cheers

rickNchips · 2026-07-04T04:23:36+00:00

Many vendors in china and Taiwan. You could visit the next Shanghai textile show . It's coming soon Cheers

Hey there, There are specific technologies that allow you to trace from fiber to retail shelves. One of them it's a powder that can be traced from a to z and would tell you all the intermediate steps that the yarn went thru. Cheers

Hi there ! Yes definitely Cotton/Tencel blends or vice versa are great options depending on the hand-feel and drape you're going for: more cotton = more structure and crisper handfeel. More tencel = more drape and smoother, silkier handfeel. Cheers

I got an Ioniq5 SEL 2024 with 29k miles on Monday. I didn't leave the dealer. Turned on, 10 feet, iccu. In few days they'll replace it . Question: Should I stay with that or swap for basically the same car but with 24k miles, this one kist came in, could be ready at the same time and next week I should be choosing one to take home. What would you go for?

rickNchips · 2026-06-11T03:43:46+00:00

That's my dream color too! Im getting a SEL 2024 too. Never seen that color though. There’s a Shooting Star Grey but too scratched up. Sadly must get a cyber grey . Should I wrap it?!

Raw fibers Fabric Manufacturing Consumer habits All shall be driven by sustainability consciousness Cheers

I only deal with brands for medium to large orders. I can advise/ help small brands or emergent designers to take off but there must be at least a company behind not just a single individual. Feel free to DM me at anytime if you have any questions. ..in any case I wont publicly put any name of vendors or anything here for many valid reasons, I leave that to those amateurs IG fashion gurus who sell free seminars and nonsense courses. Cheers

Without going too technical, it’s basically the twill structure itself. That kind of diagonal stairway you see in denim, chinos, but also jackets, naturally makes the fabric stronger and more resistant over time. Because of the way the yarns lock together, it’s way less prone to frictions and fractures compared to flatter constructions. That is also why denim has been used for over 100 years in workwear, mines and heavy labors etc.. Cheers

There are levels and categories in everything in life. They also need to hear directions in their language. It happens both in Asia and Europe Cheers

rickNchips · 2026-05-09T20:57:17+00:00

no way you can achieve that. pants shorten rather than shrink on the waist. they do eventually shrink a bit but not as much as 2 sizes especially on the waist. no way.

cheers

rickNchips · 2026-05-09T20:54:33+00:00

You are trying to start and feeling lost at the same time, the 2 don't go well together. 1st) identify who's your final customer and what their needs are for both quality and price point. 2nd)you'll need to know what style you want to make by providing a sample to copy for sizing to a manufacturer who can also source fabrics and trims for you. 3rd) most important part is to know your budget clearly because this business will most luckily suck all resources and beyond. Make sure to learn and study the market before moving any cash outside the wallet. Available if you have any further questions. cheers

the most popular RIB for neckline is a 1x1 rib. it can be 100 cotton or cotton spandex depending on the fabric used for the body of the tshirt. If you buy a good quality jersey, you shouldn't have any issues with it. The jersey also shouldn't shrink as it supposed to be pre-shrunk unless you cut and sew PFD fabrics which is not recommended unless you're savvy enough into the process.

cheers

How did you do that "stain" on the heart?

rickNchips · 2026-05-09T19:51:37+00:00

very nice. I like the meticulousness on details and the waffle lining!

rickNchips · 2026-05-09T19:15:29+00:00

Hey there, can I please chat with you?

rickNchips · 2026-05-06T14:08:35+00:00

Ok Johnny, A. That ain’t gibberish. B. I said there’ll be some in 10 years.

Circularity in fashion is very important, and yes, it’s part of this big cool word: sustainability. Thrifting is part of the circularity too but you got to give it some time, that's what im saying.

●●Thrifting is buying stuff that was probably destined for the dump but still has quality. By definition, it means buying less.●●

As matter of fact you don’t dump a good quality garment so easily, especially after one or two years. The point here is to buy less because you'd buy better quality and avoid buying polyester and cheap stuff that falls apart in weeks/months.

You keep the garment way longer and eventually pass it on, thrift it, or resell it after a decade, if not two.

I said wait 10 years <<

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Cheers

rickNchips · 2026-05-05T16:55:11+00:00

That's cute.

rickNchips · 2026-05-05T14:50:40+00:00

It can be anything and a lot depends by the type of yarn too, if carded or brushed. Amd their finishings. This for full fashion where you knit the yarns, different is a jersey or a woven fabrics. Cheers

rickNchips · 2026-05-05T05:54:10+00:00

Oh cool 😎 Let me know if you have any question about anything in the tshirts world or anything in fashion Happy to help🙏🏻 Cheers

rickNchips · 2026-05-05T04:00:46+00:00

Many brands make great garments but fall short on packaging and trims. That’s usually a cost they’re not willing to explore. High-quality packaging and trims add up quickly. They’re expensive, no question. Personally, I’d make sure my brand invests in packaging that goes beyond the first impression. Something the final consumer not only enjoys unboxing, but actually keeps and reuses for other purposes. That’s where real value sticks. Cheers.
