The Big Mistake Brands Make in Summer: Heavy T-shirts
Wearing a Winter Tee in Summer: Brand Ignorance and Customer Dissatisfaction
You bought a new t-shirt for summer, it has a great design, but it made you feel hot and sweaty the first time you wore it. The problem isn't you; it's most likely the technical ignorance of the brand that produced it.
The Common Mistake: Wrong Fabric Weight Many clothing brands overlook the importance of fabric weight (oz value). They try to sell medium-heavy fabrics of 5.3 oz, 5.5 oz, or even 6.0 oz, which they have in stock or can source cheaply, under the "summer collection" label. While these fabrics are substantial and durable, they are absolutely not suitable for summer heat. They don't breathe well and they trap heat.
The Result: Damage to the Brand The customer feels uncomfortable wearing this t-shirt. They may not understand exactly why, but they won't want to wear that t-shirt again, and worse, they will develop dissatisfaction with your brand. The perception that "this brand's t-shirts are not comfortable" can be formed with just one wrong product choice. This means returns, bad reviews, and most importantly, lost customer loyalty.
True quality is not just about design; it is the knowledge of offering the right product with the right technical specifications for the right season.
