try bamboo!! ladies more so than men appreciate the texture/feel of a shirt.. and bamboo's feel is the BEST!

I'm looking for the same thing. I have some of my customers who want to have shirts that are VERY form fitting. Some of my customers are petite ladies. Others are not. But they want they want the shirt to be tight enough to feel like Saran Wrap on a sandwich! Now, given that my designs are either screen printed or DTG, which are the best brands who produce the shirts?

As a side question, but still within the subject matter, I'm looking for a women's fitted raglan baseball shirt. Royal blue and white. Short sleeve and when I mean fitted, I mean second skin. Any suggestions?

to get a snug "fitted" saran wrap type fit it would have to be made of a stretchy material or have some lycra/spandex in the shirt

 

[Hoodietees]

I figured as much. Any suggestions on any name brands that will do the job and last long when either screen printed or DTG printed?

Have you had problems with printing not lasting on T's with lycra/spandex?

 

[Hoodietees]

I haven't tried it yet. So that's why I'm asking. I want anything printed on the material to last a long time for my customers.

You need special ink that will stretch when the item is stretched (worn). Otherwise the ink will crack and peel. I would get more information about this in the screen printing section.

I have silk screened and used plastisol heat transfers on 68% bamboo/ 28% cotton/ 4% lycra shirts and both methods have lasted. The heat transfers contain extra glue & the screening was plastisol. I don't put my shirts in the dryer for very long so this will extend the life of the shirt and print.
