When you pull on one of our shirts or hoodies, we want the very first thought to be “Wow—this feels good.” But we also know price matters. After testing dozens of blanks and print methods, we landed on a simple formula that delivers both comfort and value.
Best Value, Zero Scratch
All of our core garments are made from 100 % ring-spun cotton (or cotton-rich blends) instead of the heavier open-end cotton used in many budget blanks. Ring-spun fibers are drawn thinner and twisted tighter, creating a smoother yarn that feels luxurious—not scratchy—while still costing far less than upscale boutique labels. That lets us keep prices friendly without sacrificing the soft-hand experience you expect.
Our Flagship Tee: Gildan Soft Style G640
-
Fabric: 4.5 oz, 100 % ring-spun cotton (heathers include a whisper of polyester for extra drape).
-
Fit: Modern-classic—slightly tailored through the body and sleeves so it layers cleanly under flannels or jackets.
-
Feel: Soft out of the package and even softer after each wash (ring-spun magic!).
-
Print-Ready: Tight knit means our graphics sit flatter and sharper—no fuzzy halo or ink bleed.
-
Built to Last: Ribbed collar with taped neck & shoulders keeps seams straight wash after wash.
Whether you’re repping bold artwork or a minimalist chest hit, the G640 is the everyday tee that over-delivers.
Our Cozy Hoodie: Gildan Soft Style SF500
Everything you love about the G640, now in fleece form:
-
Fabric: 7.2 oz, 80 % ring-spun cotton / 20 % polyester, brushed inside for cloud-level comfort.
-
Details: Jersey-lined hood, matching flat drawcords, and a kangaroo pocket that actually swallows both hands.
-
No Bulk: Mid-weight fleece keeps you warm without Michelin-man vibes—ideal for cool nights or layered under a jacket.
Printing That Performs: Why We Chose DTF
What is DTF?
Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing transfers full-color artwork onto a special PET film, coats it with adhesive powder, then heat-presses it into the fabric. The result:
-
Vivid, photo-quality color on any fabric tone.
-
Stretchy, crack-resistant prints that pass 50+ home-wash tests.
-
Rapid turnaround with zero setup fees—order one piece or one thousand.
Screen Print vs DTF vs DTG
| Method | Stand-Out Strengths | Trade-Offs |
|---|---|---|
| Screen Print | Ultra-bright inks, legendary longevity, cost-effective for large runs | High setup costs, color limits, minimums required |
| DTG | Pillow-soft hand feel, photo realism on light cotton | Less abrasion-resistant; colors can fade sooner; struggles on darks & poly blends |
| DTF (Our Choice) | Combines the pop & toughness of screen print with DTG’s no-minimum flexibility; works on cotton, blends, even performance poly | Hand feel depends on technique—luckily, that’s our specialty! |
Our "Soft-Touch" Approach
After working with many print suppliers, we found one that consistently delivers exceptional quality. Paired with our in-house design prep—which includes halftones, color knockout, and more—we're able to produce prints that pop with the least amount of ink applied.
We also use a unique multi-step pressing technique that softens the feel even further, making the design feel more like part of the garment rather than a film on top.
While most of our shirts feel soft to the touch, it's worth noting that not all fabric colors yield the same hand feel. Black shirts, in particular, tend to produce the softest result, due to the highest possible color knockout on most designs.
Heavyweight Shirt Options Available
Prefer a thicker, more substantial shirt? We’ve got you covered.
In addition to our standard soft-style offerings, we also provide access to premium heavyweight options like:
