When shirts need a knit
Shirts can be cut from more than one construction. This note is only about starting with a knit.
Why start here
For shirts, the brief needs collar and placket friendliness. A useful hand note is clean surface.
A knit is the right first filter when crisp or soft-crisp hand matters for the shirt.
When to switch
If the shirt needs the other construction, start a separate marketplace search. Mixing knit and the alternative in one grid makes GSM meaningless.
Questions
- Is a knit required for shirts?
- No. It is a starting constraint. collar and placket friendliness can still rule it out.
