What is tri-blend?
A tri-blend is a fabric constructed of three different materials: cotton, polyester, and rayon. Rayon is by far the least common material of the three.

Rayon was originally created as a silk substitute, giving it a luxuriously soft feel. Made up of cellulose fibers, it’s also moisture-absorbent, making it a great choice for athletic or athleisure wear. Rayon by itself doesn’t make for a great t-shirt because of how light, thin, and drapey it would be, but combined with cotton and polyester it makes for nearly the perfect garment.

The cotton fabrication in the garment offers breathability and softness that people love, the polyester gives you the durability you need, and the rayon offers an ideal drape that lends itself to the perfect fit that we’re all looking for.

What do tri-blend hoodies and t-shirts feel like?
Soft. Like, really soft. The added rayon and the polyester give tri-blend garments a little bit of stretch along with the added softness, making them incredibly comfortable to wear.

In terms of weight, tri-blends tend to lean on the lighter side of things, so if you’re looking for a thicker, more heavy-weight option, tri-blends won’t be your best fit. But if light and airy is fine with you, then this will be a match made in heaven.

They are incredibly comfortable and create a flattering silhouette, so more and more people are choosing a tri-blend fabric as their favorite hoodie or t-shirt choice.

Do tri-blend garments shrink?
Tri-blends don’t shrink much at all relative to 100% cotton shirts. You can expect a tiny amount of shrinking, but it shouldn’t affect the fit much at all in the long run.

What are some of the most popular styles and brands?
Some of the most popular and on-trend t-shirt and hoodie styles are offered by New Era, Bella+Canvas, and District. Recent introductions by Sport Tek have captured the performance tri-blend styles which are great for a workout or just wearing around town.

Plymouth South High School launches online store

Plymouth South High School Marketing students launch online fundraising store.

PLYMOUTH – The old school store has joined the 21st century.

Starting last month, the store at Plymouth South High School has moved to an online platform for marketing clothing and accessories with Panther school logos.

Marketing students Andrew Wagner and Austin Budrow led the store’s charge into the modern market, shifting the store’s limited clothing line to an online presence with hundreds of products and a choice of logos approved by administrators.

The clothing is offered through RokkitWear, an online platform that allows parents, students and staff to customize purchases on 350 different products 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Customers can pay with credit or debit cards and buy single items or in bulk. Purchases will be delivered to their home within five days.

The shift in platform will mean added revenue for the school. Fifteen percent of the purchase price will go to the school’s technical studies revolving fund. That same 15 percent can be discounted from group purchases for school clubs.

Wagner and Budrow decided not to market gear for athletic teams, opting not to interfere with money that teams generate through annual fundraisers.

But groups can coordinate purchases and arrange to have individual names attached to gear if they like.

The online platform only went active two weeks ago, so sales are just starting to come in. The school store will eventually stock a limited line of samples, and the vast majority of goods will be online offerings only.

Shoppers can choose from familiar brands like North Face, New Era and Holloway, and virtually any club or department in the school – from the chess club to the plumbing department – can be featured with a Panther logo on gear.

Wagner and Budrow said the online merchandise will save the school store money on inventory that suffers from shrinkage or goes out of style.

The store had been losing money on some merchandise, marketing teacher Doris Grant acknowledged, and could never display all of the online offerings. “This is cutting edge. This is what technical studies is all about right? The future,” Grant said.

The online store offers a full line of T-shirts, warm-ups, outerwear, sweatshirt, polos and oxfords for men, women and children, as well as hats, scarves, stadium seat and blankets, all of which can be custom embroidered.

They range in price from a classic heavyweight T-shirt for $17.99 to the North Face Thermoball Trekker Jacket for $244.99.

“The days of brick and mortar are over,” Wagner said. “Nowadays everyone has a phone in their hands and can do this in less than five minutes.”
