How To Present Premium Cotton Apparel to Your Clients

When your clients request premium-quality apparel, you can never go wrong presenting 100% cotton. Make the sale by educating clients about the most impactful selling points of this beloved and long-lasting fabric.

100% Combed Ring-Spun Cotton

There’s a lot to appreciate about this NLA fabric assortment. Explain to your clients how 100% combed ring-spun cotton results in fewer impurities in the fabric, producing a cleaner and softer cotton that is less prone to pilling and provides a smoother surface for the best printing results.

You can also sell clients on 100% combed ring-spun cotton’s premium appeal. Not only does this fabric feature the strongest and finest yarn grown in the U.S., it also boasts prestige through its construction. It’s made by twisting combed cotton fibers into bundles, which is a more complex process than standard open-end or air-jet spun cotton methods. Highlight this difference to clients so they understand their garments are produced with care and with no corners cut. After all, quality promo apparel always comes down to the details.

Lightweight Construction

Another fan-favorite quality of premium cotton apparel is how lightweight and breathable it is. While easy, breezy styles are popular year-round, they’re especially in-demand during the spring and summer months, making right now a smart time to secure orders for this fabric collection.

NLA’s premium cotton apparel also releases moisture quickly, which is a key feature for promo apparel that will be worn outside during warm weather. And don’t let the lightweight construction fool you – these NLA garments are still extremely durable and will withstand plenty of wear and various printing methods.

Retains Shape Wear After Wear

For promo apparel to truly be considered high quality, it needs to hold up after many wears and washes. Unlike budget options which may fray or fall apart, NLA’s premium cotton pieces only get better with time.

Just how does NLA do it? All of their T-shirts have side seams which not only provide a more tailored fit, but also help to reduce torquing. On top of that, all NLA cotton shirts feature 1x1 baby ribbed set-in collars that give the necklines greater shape retention and recovery, wear after wear.
