Why Choose the Comfort Colors C1717 for Custom Printing?

First, the Comfort Colors C1717 is a 6.1 oz. tee made from ring spun USA cotton. It is preshrunk and soft-washed, so it feels broken-in from the very first wear.

In addition, the shirt is garment-dyed after sewing. As a result, every color has a slightly faded, vintage tone, and the thread matches the fabric perfectly.

Comfort Colors C1717 Fit and Feel

The fit is relaxed and boxy, with twill tape from shoulder to shoulder and set-in sleeves. Because the fabric is heavy, the shirt drapes well and holds its shape. Most people order their usual size for a roomy, casual look.

Best Uses for the Comfort Colors C1717

Greek life, sororities, and fraternities, because the vintage colors are a campus favorite.
Summer camps, spring break trips, and beach events.
Coffee shops and lifestyle brands that want a relaxed retail look.
Family reunions and vacation shirts people keep for years.

Screen Printing or Embroidery on the Comfort Colors C1717

Screen printing is ideal for the Comfort Colors C1717. The thick cotton absorbs ink well, so prints look soft and slightly vintage. For example, a pocket-size front logo with a large back design is a classic combination. Also, remember that garment dyeing can vary slightly between batches, so order your full quantity at once.
