Decoration compatibility
VisePrint guidance derived from this garment's stated fabric and construction — not manufacturer claims.
Screen printing
Good
Blended fabric prints reliably; match the ink system to the dominant fiber.
DTF transfer
Conditional
Open or slick mesh surface — adhesion varies; run a wash test first.
- Moisture-management finishes can reduce adhesion — verify wash durability on a test piece.
DTG printing
Good
Cotton-rich blend prints acceptably; expect a softer, more vintage result than 100% cotton.
- Non-flat mesh surface reduces DTG detail.
Embroidery
Excellent
Midweight-plus fabric supports dense stitch counts without distortion.
- Lightweight or performance knit — use a stabilizer/backing to prevent puckering.
Heat transfer
Good
Standard HTV and transfers apply well at the correct temperature for this fiber mix.
- Verify transfer adhesion over moisture-management finishes.
Sublimation
Not Recommended
Cotton-dominant fabric does not bond sublimation dye.
Decoration results can vary by equipment, ink, transfer material, garment color, and production settings. Always test before beginning a full production run.
Fit and sizing
Fit category not stated, cut for men's wear · sizes S–5XL.

Terms used on this page
- GSM (grams per square meter)
- GSM, grams per square meter, is the metric fabric-weight measurement that tells a buyer whether a shirt will feel thin and drapey or thick and structured.
- Polyester
- Polyester is a synthetic, petroleum-based fiber prized for durability, quick-dry performance, and colorfastness, but prone to dye migration under screen-print inks.
- Crew neck
- A crew neck is a round, close-fitting neckline finished with a ribbed collar band, the default cut on most t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies.
- Tear-away tag (tagless)
- A tear-away tag is a neck label stitched in so it pulls out cleanly, distinct from a "tagless" label that's heat-printed directly onto the fabric.
- Raglan Sleeve
- A raglan sleeve is cut in one piece with the shoulder, creating a diagonal seam from underarm to collar instead of a rounded shoulder seam.
- Gusset
- A gusset is a diamond-shaped panel of extra fabric set into an underarm or crotch seam to add stretch room and stop that seam from ripping under stress.
