B2B APPAREL BUYING GUIDE
Compare T-shirt GSM, fit and finish.
Prepared by TUOYI · Published 23 October 2026 · Updated 26 October 2026. Product facts are from listing snapshots dated 21–23 October 2026. Individual product pages show their check date; guide publication does not establish live availability.
For a wholesale T-shirt request, compare fabric composition, GSM, fit, wash reference and finished measurements together. Six of these seven TUOYI references list 220–305 GSM; the print-ready cotton reference still needs an agreed GSM. All display a 10-piece website MOQ. Color and size allocation, logo processes, sample costs and production terms require confirmation for your brief.

What does T-shirt GSM actually establish?
GSM describes fabric mass per square metre, not the weight of the finished T-shirt. It is one specification field, not a quality score. These are different garment references, not a controlled fabric test. The listing snapshots do not establish opacity, softness, shrinkage, colorfastness or print durability. Request the fabric specification and agree the sample checks that matter to your project.
Are the two 230 GSM washed T-shirts the same?
No. Listing 1601690468796 is a washed cotton reference; listing 1601923384599 is an oversized acid-wash reference. Both list 100% cotton and 230 GSM, but that does not establish an identical wash, knit, fit or finished measurements. Identify the listing ID, intended wash reference and sample size in your request, then agree the proposed fabric and finish rather than substituting one reference for the other.
How should I compare boxy, regular and oversized fits?
The 260 GSM reference lists a boxy / washed fit, the 285 GSM reference lists regular / short sleeve, and the 305 GSM reference lists oversized. Those labels do not supply a measurement chart. Request body width and length, shoulder width, sleeve length and opening, plus neckline and rib details. Name the measuring points, sample size and tolerances to agree before comparing quotations.
What should I approve for a washed T-shirt with my logo?
Use a sample and specification version that identify the proposed fabric, wash and artwork together. Supply your logo file version, finished width and height, colors and placement measured from a named seam or edge. Ask which decoration method and process sequence will be quoted. Record the agreed wash reference and any shade variation or dimensional change criteria; no such limits or test results are established by the catalog photos.
Why is one GSM missing, and is every cotton reference 100% cotton?
The print-ready reference 1601814524403 lists 100% cotton but has no agreed numerical GSM in this catalog. The 220 GSM reference 1601885908057 is described as cotton, with exact composition still to confirm. Keep each missing field open. Ask for the complete composition, one numerical GSM, knit construction and finished measurements for the proposed sample; do not copy a nearby style’s specification into the gap.
What does a 10-piece custom T-shirt request need?
TUOYI confirmed a website minimum of 10 pieces for every displayed T-shirt on 24 October 2026. State the listing ID, pieces per color and size, intended fabric, finish, artwork, labels, packaging and destination. Ask for the applicable minimum per style, color and decoration process, setup charges and sample terms. Confirm the production schedule, shipping terms and quotation validity separately; a 10-piece website minimum does not establish these terms.

From your sourcing brief to a quote request.
- Choose references. Add styles from the wholesale categories. Record quantities by style, color and size; keep sample requests separate from bulk quantities.
- Review your requirements. Include measurements, artwork, destination and open questions. The 10-piece website bulk MOQ does not confirm custom allocation, sample availability, charges or timing.
- Submit on the website. On the inquiry page, prepare and review the request, give consent and submit. A TUOYI reference number confirms server receipt; keep it for follow-up. Receipt is not a quotation, sample approval or confirmed order.
