What makes a fabric suitable for shirts?
Look for stable cutting behaviour, appropriate opacity for pale colours, collar and placket friendliness. Most shirt programmes sit in light-to-mid weights. Too heavy reads outerwear; too sheer needs lining strategies uncommon in classic shirts.
How do I know if a fabric is truly heavyweight?
Use published weight plus construction. Heavy jersey and heavy canvas solve different problems.
How should I continue after reading about fabric for shirts?
Use the shirts brief on this page, then open a fabric page. Define formal vs casual, climate and opacity before shortlisting. Shirt fabric is a garment decision first.
