What kind of fabric is the '80-count typewriter' mentioned in the description?
When reading the shirt's description, unlike regular cotton shirts, the term '80-count typewriter fabric' appears. This question arises because it is difficult to gauge what thickness and texture the fabric has.
It is a high-density cotton fabric woven tightly with fine 80-count yarn, making it light and crisp like paper while holding its shape without losing form.
It is helpful to start with the number 80 count. The yarn count indicating the thickness of the thread means that the higher the number, the thinner and softer the yarn is, and 80 count is significantly finer and smoother than the yarn used in regular cotton shirts. Typewriter is a name derived from being thin and smooth like the ribbons or paper used in typewriters, referring to a high-density plain-weave fabric woven tightly with fine cotton yarn.
It is lightweight yet has structure. MOONDAL used an 80-count typewriter fabric made of 100% cotton produced in Japan for the Camus Pocket Shirt in Red[1][2]. Because it is a high-density fabric woven tightly with yarns, even though it is thin, it does not easily lose its shape and maintains a fresh, crisp feel[3]. In addition, metal buttons contrasting with the lightweight body panels were added to balance the front placket[4].
hmmm, while it feels light against the body because it is thin, the fabric's high density ensures that the silhouette of the garment drapes cleanly even when worn as a single layer.
Specific care standards for washing and ironing the fabric have not yet been confirmed.
