What does...mean? the most ask questions about product terms
Piqué
[peeKAY] - A knitted fabric with a waffle, or diamond-shaped,
pattern. French piqué knits became an international favorite when René
Lacoste, a 1920's French tennis champion, designed the polo shirt. We
recommend you choose a pique polo shirt for most uses. Although, it's
usually a heavier fabric, its "meshy" knit provides a great deal of "breathability".
Tubular Construction -
A method of knitting that yields fabric in a tubular configuration which
is cut into sections that form the body of a shirt without side seams.
Tee shirts are generally constructed using this method as are some value
priced polo shirts.
Placket - The part of a
shirt or jacket where the garment fastens together.
Jersey - A knitted
fabric with a plain, flat surface on the outside and a textured surface
inside. Tee shirts are the product usually associated with jersey knits,
although lower-priced polo shirts are also fabricated from jersey
knits. We recommend jersey knits when price is the only constraint.
Otherwise, we recommend you choose a pique or interlock polo shirt.

What if I only needed 12 units?
Minimum Quantity.
Because of the extensive set-up time and expense required to custom
embroider a logo, we have a 12 piece minimum for embroidery.
Should you need fewer
than 12 pieces of embroidery and cost is not an overriding issue, we can
waive the normal 12-piece minimum by adding a setup fee of $150.00 to
the unit price.
