Quality Control Inspection Report: Men's White Cotton T-Shirt
This comprehensive QC report evaluates a standard men's white cotton t-shirt, focusing on construction, materials, and finishing details that determine overall quality and value.
Material and Fabric Assessment
The t-shirt is constructed from 100% cotton fabric with a medium weight of approximately 180-200 GSM. The fabric shows consistent weave density with no visible thin spots or irregularities.

Fabric hand feel is soft with appropriate drape characteristics for a basic t-shirt.

- Side seams: Double-needle coverstitch with even spacing
- Neckline: Ribbed collar with reinforced stitching at shoulder junctions
- Hem: Double-turned hem with straight, parallel stitching
- Sleeve attachments: Smooth set-in construction without gathering
No loose threads, skipped stitches, or tension issues were observed. All seam allowances are properly finished to prevent fraying.
