Fine Jersey
This entire collection was developed around our original fashion basics tee: the 2001. A collection that holds 8 of our greatest styles in combed ring spun cotton that are made from lightweight, super-smooth signature fabric, with a fit that was once considered modern and is now classic, inclusive and universal.
Tri-Blend
These athleisure styles offer a combination of 50% polyester, 25% cotton and 25% rayon, which gives the tri-blend collection a nice heathered vintage look, total comfort. This light, extra-soft, airy fabric blend makes the knit highly breathable and perfect for sportswear. It won’t shrink as much thanks to the polyester, and it has the fit and feel of your favorite vintage tee. The best of all worlds.

Interlock
This iconic vintage-athletic look is made to move and perfect for printing. With a thicker, yet somewhat light and more opaque fabric that lends support and some stretch, provides a sporty style with piping details.
Organic
A classic look can also be totally organic. Crafted from 100% organic combed ring spun cotton with GOTS-certified yarns, this T-shirt offers incredibly soft combed ring-spun softness. Looking good is looking pretty sustainable.
Poly-Cotton
We created an essential collection born of an innovative poly-cotton blend that remains unchanged but just as relevant for today's market. It's your favorite cotton tee with a twist. A combination of super-fine yarn and knitting makes it a premium fabric with a light, super-soft feel. Plus, it offers a superior, cleaner surface for printing that makes this collection easy to decorate and perfect for customization.
Sublimation
This T-shirt is designed specifically for dye-sublimation printing while maintaining a ring-spun feel. As you know, natural cotton fibers do not react to sublimation dye when heat-pressed, unlike polyester, which is a synthetic fiber that works perfectly with sublimation dye. Sublimation allows for great photo-realistic printing.
