Uncarded sweaters (French Terry). What are they?

For some years now, uncarded shirts have been becoming more popular among promotional clothing brands. Personally, I'm a fan of this type of clothing because it's softer and cooler, perfect for mid-season or those "less hot" summer evenings. I even made a video about a JHK model some time ago, which you can watch below.

This year several brands are launching similar new shirts and, curiously, most of them are made from organic clothing.

This is the case with Kariban, with its two-colour shirts, but Sol's and B&C did it last year and AWDis is doing it this year too, among other brands.

French Terry Kariban Organic Sweater

On the outside, these sweatshirts look just like any other sweatshirt without a hood. Most of the time the composition is the same, with the only difference being on the inside as it doesn't have the usual fur (known as carding) which normally provides thermal protection.

This makes the jumper much cooler and less bulky. It also eliminates the problem of getting "lint" the first few times you put on a shirt, especially if it's a low-end model. Everything here is part of the shirt.

One of the most interesting features of Kariban's French terry jerseys (specifically these because they're the ones I've seen in the most detail) is how the inside is actually made. You can see in the first and last photos that the same fabric that is used on the outside is used up to a certain point on the inside, before the "lining" begins.

This could be for two reasons:

  1. An aesthetic issue when the article is folded
  2. To facilitate and increase the quality of label printing

Regardless of whether it's option 1 or 2, the truth is that if you want to apply decorated labels, this feature gives you the perfect option for working with the best quality. As this item is generally made with the fashion market in mind, it's these little details that make all the difference, both in our printing work and for our customers at the time of sale.
