Frequently Asked Questions

What is the exact weight of the fabric? The shirt is constructed from a sturdy midweight fabric, weighing 5.3 oz/yd² (US) or 8.8 oz/L yd (CA). This provides the perfect structural sweet spot between lightweight summer wear and thick, durable layering.

Is this shirt suitable for commercial printing methods? Absolutely. Thanks to its ultra-smooth 100% cotton base (and high-cotton blends), this tee is one of the most highly recommended blanks in the industry for custom DTF transfers, screen printing, and heat transfer vinyl (HTV).

Will the neckline warp or lose its shape over time? No. The combination of our classic-width rib collar and integrated shoulder-to-shoulder neck taping is specifically engineered to retain the shirt’s structural symmetry and neckline memory, even after regular wear.

Are there high-visibility color choices available for work crews? Yes. Our specialized Safety Green color option is explicitly engineered to meet ANSI/ISEA 107 high-visibility standards, making it an excellent and safe blank choice for industrial workwear and outdoor construction uniforms.

How does the tear-away label work for custom branding? The neck tag is designed to cleanly snap off by hand with a simple pull without tearing or damaging any surrounding collar stitching. This feature is perfect for apparel brands looking to relabel the shirts with their own private neck prints.
