THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE ULTIMATE T-SHIRT COLLECTION BY FRUIT OF THE LOOM
WE ARE EVERY T FOR EVERY NEED The best choice, the best fabrics and the best possible T at every price point: This is what drives the Fruit of the Loom team of designers and fabric technicians every day. This guide brings you the detail behind every style in our collection and should, when read in conjunction with our full product catalogue, help you choose the exact right T-Shirt for every project you work on.
We meticulously consider the knit gauge, yarn count and stitch density for each T-Shirt we make, and optimise these decisions for each style to create the best fabric weights and surfaces for decorating at the right price point – whether you print DTG, DTF, Screen, Transfer or embroider.
We manufacture all our own Ts conscientiously and with industry-leading sustainability values that include zero waste going to landfill, renewable electricity, water recycling, fair labour and transparent supply chain policies. Manufacturing in Morocco, so close to the European market, not only means we can fulfil even large orders fast, but is also much better from a transport and environmental perspective too.
Just some of the sectors our Ts are made for – and with our easy tear- out label, all Fruit Ts are perfect for rebranding: • Promotions and events • Tourism and merchandising, especially music • Workwear and corporate wear • Sports and leisure wear • Retail and online

At Fruit of the Loom, we manufacture and source products around the world. Most of the cotton used in our garments is grown in the U.S., and we have implemented processes to ensure that cotton we use from outside the U.S. is sustainably harvested and free of forced labour.
Fruit of the Loom makes your Ts conscientiously and sustainably, supported by a fully-transparent supply chain.
The mechanical separation of cotton fibres from the seeds.
Production of the yarn. We use both ringspun yarns and open-end yarns. Our Pure Cotton T is made from 100% organic ringspun yarn.
We process the yarn into high-quality knitted fabrics in our own production facilities in Morocco.
Our dedicated employees sew over 1.6 million garment pieces every week. This is only possible through a culture of respect, a safe working environment and fair pay.
In our world-class dyeing house, we use environmentally-friendly dyes that transform the knitted fabrics into our huge range of popular Fruit garment colours. We also have our own water treatment plant that means we can reuse over 60% of our water.
We not only produce textiles but also store and ship them from Morocco directly, as well as from Germany. Due to the short transport routes, we have a small transport carbon footprint.
Our sustained commitment to waste reduction means all our facilities are zero waste for the 6th consecutive year. This vital achievement is made possible through process optimization at every location that looks to better utilize all fabric as well as collaborative partnerships across our supply chains to divert waste from landfills.
