Can someone tell me what is the meaning of a 2-ply, 3-ply or even 4-ply fabric? What is the advantage for more ply? How can we distinguish them?

Are you a special needs child who does not comprehend the utility of search engines like Google/Bing?

You are an asshole.

OP (and posterity): "Ply" is basically how many strands are twisted together to make a single thread. Here is a link that might help: http://propercloth.com/dress-shirt-fabrics The side column deals with "ply." I know nothing of the site and can't vouch for it, but I assume that it is at least mostly accurate and, if not, someone who knows more than me will point out what is wrong with it.
