The shirt matters as much as the print

Ink on a thin, boxy tee looks cheap. The same ink on a soft, well-cut shirt looks like retail. After putting screen prints, stitches and DTG on a lot of blanks, these are the ones we keep coming back to.

Our top 10 T-shirts

  1. Bella + Canvas 3001 Unisex Staple Tee (XS to 5XL). Soft, modern fit, huge color range. Our default recommendation for brands and merch.
  2. Comfort Colors 1717 Garment-Dyed Heavyweight Tee (S to 4XL). Thick, relaxed and washed-in color. The vintage look without the thrift-store hunt.
  3. Gildan 5000 Classic Tee (S to 5XL). The heavy cotton workhorse for events, teams and giveaways.
  4. Gildan 64000 Softstyle Tee (S to 3XL). Lighter and softer than the 5000, still budget-friendly.
  5. Bella + Canvas 3413 Tri-Blend Tee (XS to 4XL). Drapey, ultra-soft, a heathered look that makes water-based and discharge prints sing.
  6. Bella + Canvas 3001ECO Staple Eco Tee (XS to 3XL). The 3001 fit with an eco-minded fabric.
  7. Bella + Canvas 3001U Staple Tee, made in the USA. For brands that want domestic production.
  8. AS Colour 5082 Oversized Faded Tee. Boxy streetwear fit with a faded finish.
  9. Bella + Canvas 3001T Toddler Tee (2T to 5T). Match the whole family.
  10. Bella + Canvas 3001Y Youth Tee (S to XL). For schools, camps and youth teams.
