Which T-shirt should I buy?

T-shirts have came a long way since it first got popular in 1932, it went from being and under shirt to casual wear, Wikipedia has a a great article that goes in greater detail history of the T-shirt. (Link) In this blog i wanted to discuss the custom t-shirt for commercial, promotional and sport wear printing.

Your first visit to T-shirt is essential to narrow down which type of shirts fits your needs. What is the most important feature you want in a T-shirt. The common answer I get 9 out 10 would always say a t-shirt that would hold well in washing. Expect to get 3-6 worth of regular washing out of most T-shirts. The life cycle of a shirt will depend on how you are using the custom t-shirt and where you will be using the custom T-shirt.

Every customer will be using custom T-shirt differently and in different weather conditions. A 5.5 Oz 50/50 T-shirt for every day casual and indoors wear. If you are planning to wear it outside often, then you might want to take a step up and get the 5.5 Oz 100% cotton T-shirt, this will help you absorb sweat in hot climate. If you will be doing a lot of physical work like carpenters, oil fields, landscaping etc, then I would recommend getting the Beefy T-shirts;100% ring-spun cotton long sleeve Beefy T-shirts to protect you arms. The Beefy T-shirt feel very soft and holds very well labor intensive activities. The beefy T-shirt does shrink quite a bite; however mostly upwards since it ring-spun cotton, estimated to be 3% horizontally only.

The best custom T-shirt for the money in my opinion is the Gildan 2000 T-shirt, it is heavy weight T-shirt like the beefy, weighing at 6.1 oz, and it is 100% cotton pre-shrunk; plus it is priced between beefy T-shirt and standard 50/50 T-shirt. Like the beefy T-shirt the Gildan 2000 T-shirt comes in 27 different colors, before you get too excited some colors are harder to find in stock through out the year than others. I have had great luck with the Gildan 2000 overall, custom T-shirts come out very vibrant and sharp while maintaining a relatively decent budget. However, it is not substitute for beefy when it comes to physical labor.

Here is the simple Table to help you determine which T-shirt suits you best,

Hip HOP Style Large Size T-shirts

Hip Hop has been in for while, and has left a prevailing mark on how music followers are dressing today. Pants below waist, T-Shirt hanging like curtains, I can go on for ever. The reality artist are dictating of the fashion today.

So it is no suprise on a weekly basis I get at least one customer asking me, "where do I get big shirts, the type of T-shirts with 3X or 5X or 6X?" Most of these customers barely make it to size large.

The kind of T-shirt I would recommend is the Beefy T-shirt. They are 100% combed cotton, so there a relative shrinkage, however they are one fo the few that stretch out in size to 6X and you have a good chance of find them in stock.
