Difficult and meaningless question ! :
If you speak about T-shirt, the quality in term of cortton itself, ecological and "cleran cottons" included, I should say that this is only a question of price !! I principle and very gloçbaly speaking the best cotons are the one of some American, Bengladeshi and African companies... It is clear that the highest is the price, - heavier cotton, better weaving and preparation - means better quality... But not aloways !
The basic rules are the quality of cottonitself, of its culture and in it the environmental practice in uses.
Then, the weaving and number of thread : it is clear that a "tight weavec cotoon" of 230 gr is better than a widely weaved one of 160 gr ! Evident.
The "preparation" (the one of the manufacturer as well as the one of the printer is very important...
and last but not least, if you make on a beautifull "clean" cotton a print with plastisol countaining phtalates and PVC... The whole piece will be polluated and can be rejected !
From the printing point of view, screen as well as digital, it is clear that all the factors evocated above are important and for mpe this is simply "EVIDENT".
