Key features

• Balanced 50/50 blend — a medium-heavy 8.0 oz/yd² (271 g/m²) cotton-poly fabric that feels cozy and wears well over time.
• Print- and embroidery-ready surface — smooth exterior designed to deliver sharp, vibrant designs that endure wash after wash.
• Durable construction — double-needle stitching at the shoulder, armhole, neck, waistband, and cuffs reinforces shape and longevity.
• Comfort-first design — seamless body minimizes irritation, while a ribbed-knit collar and reinforced cuffs keep the fit looking clean.
• Itch-free wear — gray, pearlized tear-away label reduces scratching against skin for all-day comfort.
• Ethical and safe — crafted from ethically grown US cotton and backed by the US Cotton Trust Protocol; OEKO-TEX certified dyes meet stringent safety and environmental standards.
• Color and fabric nuances — note White may read off-white; Orange hues can shift with lighting; Heather Sport colors use a 60% polyester, 40% cotton blend for a different feel and drape.
• Versatile branding options — embroidery options available on left chest, center chest, large center chest, or on both wrists for bold, strategic branding.
