Introduction
French Terry has quietly conquered wardrobes worldwide by offering the ideal blend of comfort, breathability, and durability. At DBLU, our oversized T‑shirts leverage the unique properties of French Terry to create pieces that feel premium from the very first wear. Let’s unravel why French Terry is the secret weapon behind that effortless “lived‑in” feeling you crave.
Understanding French Terry
Weave Structure: French Terry is a knit fabric featuring loops on the reverse side and a smooth face on the outside.
Material Content: Often crafted from 100% cotton or cotton‑polyester blends, balancing softness with resilience.
Weight & Hand: At around 240–260 GSM, it offers substance without stiffness—heavy enough to drape, light enough to breathe.
Standout Qualities of French Terry
Natural Breathability: The looped backing creates tiny air channels, regulating body temperature in changing conditions.
Soft Comfort: Cotton‑rich blends feel gentle on the skin, making French Terry ideal for those with sensitive skin.
Shape Retention: The knitted structure resists stretching out, ensuring your oversized T‑shirt maintains its relaxed silhouette.
