Learn all the various types of garments you can choose to get screen printed or embroidered.
Classic T-Shirts
Gildan, Anvil, Port Authority and Fruit of the Loom are similar in the quality, weight and fit of the shirt. However, they have slight variations in the over feel of the shirt.
This is also the quality of shirt you’d find best for class tees, work shirts they stand up over countless washes and wear.
If you’re aiming for a garment that is more of a fashion-fitted look for your project, then we recommend you look at what we call the higher end tees. These t-shirts are softer, and cut in a more fitted style.
All right, that is pretty much the skinny on the most basic option out there, so let’s get down to business. These are the garments we recommend for a fashionable style.
Higher End Quality & Blends
Comfort Colors
All college campus across America, have chosen Comfort Colors as the go to shirt.
They are the choice for the Greek life, because of the colors that are offered and how incredibly soft they are, even before you wash them.
However, these are garment dyed t-shirts, and colors will have slight variations. They bleed and fade, but this gives this great shirt a worn “favorite t-shirt” look.
District
District clothing is set up to be an economical choice that offers the fashion forwards, slim cuts, and styles for the fashion tees. They have a nice fit, and are a soft ring-spun cotton.
Anvil 980
The Anvil 980 is similar to the previous review, and pretty much applies to this one, too. It costs less and has a much smaller color selection.
The District & Anvil 980 have nice blends and are worth checking into because they’re quite nice and a bit cheaper than some higher end brands.
Next Level
Next Level Apparel, their garments are lighter at 4.3 oz, yet the quality is retained. These shirts are one of the softest in the market and their fit is great. Their CVC t-shirt is a great shirt, and it’s softer and has a lesser tendency to shrink.
If you are looking for a brand that any customer will love, Next Level is your answer. Their 100% cotton and blends feel amazing. They offer great colors in unisex, and ladies cut tees.
The ladies cut Next Level have numerous styles and colors, these shirts are ones you will see in most fitness clubs, or boutiques.
Bella + Canvas
This manufacturer has some excellent garment and color choices. They aren’t quite as fitted as the Next Level t-shirts, but they do feel lighter at 4.2 oz. They do have some shrinking when washed. This is also a shirt you will see in a lot of the boutiques, and custom printed shirts in various stores.
