Is viscose good for T-shirts?
Yes. Viscose is commonly blended with other fibers to improve performance:
95% Viscose + 5% Spandex – Soft, stretchy premium T-shirts
60% Cotton + 40% Viscose – Comfortable casual wear
65% Polyester + 35% Viscose – Uniforms and corporate T-shirts with better durability
For a garment manufacturer like Time Apparels, viscose blends can be a good option if you're planning to introduce a premium, soft-feel T-shirt collection, while 100% cotton remains the preferred choice for durable everyday basics.
