Gallery View: 6 trendy India-made men's T-shirts

The products in this gallery have been handpicked by our Market Analysts for representing the current trends in India men's t-shirts.

Suppliers of men's T-shirts in India are veering away from basic pieces by launching trendy styles to avoid stiff competition with their counterparts in Bangladesh. The latest releases feature eye-catching designs and come in a variety of finishes that enhance texture.

Popular themes include sports, marine and slice of life. Patterns can be flock, discharge, reactive or digital printed. Some suppliers use MHM or carousel silk-screening machines for efficient and accurate high-volume logo placement. Multicolor models with stripes and other designs are likewise offered.

Crystals, embroidery, patchwork and applique serve as embellishments. Ribbed contrast piping, contrast color side panels and front buttons also enhance the visual appeal.

In terms of colors, different shades of blue, yellow, orange and red are widely used. Earth tones are popular as well. Black, beige and off-white pieces are likewise available. Hues are often yarn-, vat- or space-dyed. Makers also employ soft-flow dyeing to impart a supple feel and enhance fade resistance. Suppliers are adopting combination colors in many models. Demand for basic solid-hued pieces, however, are still strong.

The majority of releases are made of cotton, with India being the second-largest cotton producer in the world. The fabric comes in combed, semicombed, knitted, jersey, interlock and fleece constructions. For improved strength, stain resistance and stretch, cotton is commonly blended with polyester, viscose, nylon or spandex. This approach also helps reduce costs. A number of makers use organic cotton and recycled fabrics as well.
