Garment Options
FABRIC OPTIONS
100% Cotton is the most commonly used material for t-shirts. It is a natural fiber that makes a soft and breathable garment. There are many options available such as ringspun (for softness), organic, lightweight and heavyweight. Cotton is also hypoallergenic but can tend to shrink and fade over time.
Ink Use: Plastisol, Waterbase, Discharge
50/50 Blend is a blend of 50% cotton and 50% polyester to create a soft shirt that wicks away moisture and is resistant to color fading and shrinking. This combination of fabrics creates a light weight yet durable garment and superior fit.
Ink Use: Plastisol, Waterbase, (Discharge is not recommended, yet can be done for a very washed out, vintage look)
Tri-Blend is a blend of three fabrics, 50% polyester, 25% cotton and 25% rayon to create a soft, thin garment with a vintage look. Most often this fabric is used when a soft shirt and soft print is desired. This fabric type will always have a heather look with different and random color threads throughout the shirt to create a unique, one of a kind feel.
Ink Use: Plastisol, Waterbase, (Discharge is not recommended, yet can be done for a very washed out, vintage look)
