Using stock plastisol prints, 100 % cotton tees wrinkle, customers want to iron them and this could mess up the print. 50/50 has less wrinkling, customers do less ironing, print last longer.
Question, most shirt companies offer sweats, long sleeve tees, hoodies, etc..
in cotton only for 6.1 oz.
Question, dyesub requires polyester content, where are all the heavy shirts for this print method.

Thanks,
I think the day I have enough time to actually iron my t-shirts is when I have completely run out of things to do. If you want to iron them just turn em inside out and pay attention like any garment with a print.

Often hiding with dye sublimation suppliers, rather than being stocked by the same wholesalers who carry standard brands like Gildan, etc.
Dye sublimation requires at least 65% poly content though. Not only that, but there aren't many heavy garments (hoodies for example) even available for dye sublimation, so there's not a lot of choice of styles. Vapor do some good stuff, which is all 100% poly. Last but not least, dye sublimation blanks are significantly more expensive than "normal" blanks.
If you just want a bit of poly content to help with wrinkles, dye sublimation suitable blanks are probably not the answer. Dye sub is great if you want dye sub, but it has a whole heap of drawbacks that aren't worth dealing with unless you specifically want to use poly performance fabrics, or the advantages of dye sub as a print method.
Dye Sub is suppose to be the top end method for desktop transfers ( I heard )
Yet there are few heavy winter apparel of polyester content.
That leaves for the desk top printing for me 2 methods, Dye Sub for T's and pigment inks for thicker items.
For wrinkled T's and ironing, a note will have to be given to each customer with care and washing instructions.

It is partly a matter of opinion (it depends on just how much one hates polyester, and how much they're willing to pay for wholesale blanks), but personally I think dye sublimation is indeed "the top end method for desktop transfers".

Thanks everyone, you all have been great.

Vapor does make a dye-sub hoodie. They run I think around $14.00 each, for a case (18 pcs) price. That isnt so terribly far away from a Lee cotton/poly blended hoodie.
wrinkled Tees ?
