Can anyone recommend the best quality heavyweight cotton Ts for printing? We're selling into a similar market as skate / surf brands so they need to be high quality long life shirts with shoulder to shoulder taping etc.
thanks
the shirts are softer/lighter/sweatshop free made in USA shirts fit differently than a standard tee. They have tighter arms and shoulders/chest. A lot of brands have reduced their sizing to be 1/2 to whole size smaller in fit these days.
tech terms they are a 30 singles combed cotton tee. buy one from your distributor and then buy a regular fruit of the loom tee and you will notice the difference.
Now if you walk through pac sun and look through the racks you will see both kinds of tees in there. volcom, billabong, hurley have both shirts to meet different price points. AMA is more expensive. you do get better print results if you are printing detailed art.
thanks for the pointers, any other options I should look at?
I have ringspun Ts from Etnies, Special Blend and Burton Snowboards that are still looking good after years of wear so this is the kind of quality I'm after.
im in a similar market, I got in samples of just about every brand i could get hold of, initially we went with american apparel, but are now moving into continental, the fit is just a little better and quality is on par or just above AA imo, cheaper as well. I hear hanes beefy alot but comon who likes that huge neck band they come with?
