This is the first time; I wear a stitch-less T-shirt. And I thought of writing a short write-up on this. I will introduce the stitch-less garment and then share a few notes on the stitch-less t-shirt.
What is a stitch-less garment?
As the name says, a garment that is made of without using stitches is known as a stitch-less garment. A garment that is constructed joining garment components, but garment components are joined together without using a sewing machine and stitches. Instead, garment components are joined together by means of heat sealing and bonding technology. It is also called a stitch-less seam and the technology is known as sew-free seaming.
What is the difference between a Normal T-shirt and a Stitch-less T-shirt?
In normal t-shirt manufacturing, fabric cut components are sewn together by means of stitching machines. On the other hand, a stitch-less t-shirt is made by using a heat sealing machine and adhesive tapes. A t-shirt is made of a number of fabric patterns, normally all knitted fabric components.
My stitch-less T-shirt made of the following components
It is a stitch-less t-shirt with a denim fabric collar, chest pocket and front placket.
- Collar (denim fabric).
- Front panel
- Back panel
- Two sleeve panels
- Chest Pocket (Denim fabric and zipper)
- The side panel of denim fabric for decorating purpose
- Front placket (denim fabric)
Construction and Seams in the Stitch-less t-shirt
- A single piece collar joined to the t-shirt neck.
- All seams, like shoulder join, sleeve hem, bottom hem, armhole join, side seam and underarm are sealed by using heat sealing technology.
- In the front, there is an additional panel of denim fabric on one side. The woven denim fabric panel is bonded using the heat-sealing method.
- The check pocket is attached on the front panel using adhesive tape.
- For reinforcement in the thicker areas, back-tack stitches are applied (example: underarm joint)
The T-shirt fabric is of knitted Polyester and Lycra. When I wear it, I do not feel any difference in terms of a comfort compared to normal t-shirt. I have not yet washed it. At this moment can’t comment on the durability of stitch-less seams.
This t-shirt is made by using H&H hot air sealing machine. This t-shirt was made by H&H Team.
