As we all know, online shopping for clothing has become the choice of most people now, but one pain point of online shopping is that you cannot accurately know the feeling of the material.

You must pay attention to the material of shirts. The pictures may look similar, but the actual texture may be completely different. The material of high-end shirts is generally long-staple, high-count cotton or combed cotton. For example, the long-staple cotton produced in Xinjiang is a very high-grade raw material and comes in different counts. The higher the count, the finer the yarn. , the fabric woven is more delicate and soft.
