A field guide to the four fabrics every B2B team should know
60/40 cotton-poly, 100% pima, brushed-back fleece, six-panel structured cotton, what they are, when they win.
01/Why this matters
Fabric is the single biggest driver of whether your team actually wears the apparel you ordered. Get it wrong, the polos sit in a closet. Get it right, your warehouse manager wears yours on weekends.
02/60/40 cotton-poly performance
Our Signature Polo lives here. Cotton handles sweat, poly handles abrasion and shape retention. The blend gives you a shirt that survives a 12-hour shift on a job site and looks pressed for a client lunch.
03/100% Pima
For brands that need to feel premium at first touch, luxury B2B services, hospitality, agencies. More expensive, less forgiving when stained.
04/320–450gsm brushed-back fleece
Quarter-zips and hoodies. The brushed back is the secret, it's why a Forge fleece feels like cashmere on a Tuesday morning and your cheap promo hoodie feels like cardboard.
05/Six-panel structured cotton
Caps. Six panels hold their shape; five panels collapse. If the brim isn't curved out of the box, the cap was made wrong.
