Description
The Comfort Colors 1717 is a heavyweight, garment-dyed T-shirt made with 6.1 oz./yd² ring-spun cotton and a relaxed fit. It is a different starting point from a lighter fitted tee: compare the fabric weight, garment measurements and actual shade when choosing blanks for a group or print run. The garment-dye finish is part of the style, so a physical sample is especially useful when color matching matters.
Features
- 6.1 oz./yd² (US), 10 oz./L yd (CA); 100% ring-spun cotton, 20 singles.
- Garment-dyed finish; the supplier describes minimal shrinkage, not a no-shrink guarantee.
- Relaxed fit with a topstitched, classic-width rib collar.
- Shoulder-to-shoulder twill tape and signature twill label.
- Pigment-dyed shades can vary; some colors are reactive dyed, and selected colors are transitioning between dye processes.
Buying questions
Is this an oversized T-shirt?
The published fit is relaxed. Use the garment measurements to choose the silhouette you want rather than treating “relaxed” as a guarantee of an oversized fit. Compare a tee you already like, laid flat.
How should I choose a color for matching shirts?
Use the current color selector for available choices instead of relying on a fixed color count. When matching an existing garment or coordinating different styles, compare physical samples and approve the intended shade before production.

Choosing Burnt Orange garment-dyed tees
- Use the exact color name: Burnt Orange is a distinct 1717 catalog shade. Compare its own photos rather than substituting an Orange shade from another product or brand.
- Garment-dyed appearance: The 1717 uses 6.1 oz./yd² ring-spun cotton with a relaxed fit. Shade variation is inherent in the pigment-dye process; inspect physical samples when coordinating a group or matching an earlier order.
- Plan sizing and artwork together: Compare the size chart with a tee you like laid flat. Have your decorator test the intended print process on the actual garment-dyed shade before approving a larger run.

This was my initial order from Bear Imprint (20 Comfort Color Grey Blanks). The price per shirt was the best I’ve seen online, and they addressed all my pre-purchase inquiries. The order tracker was excellent in keeping me updated on the status of my order, which arrived within the estimated time frame. Overall, it was a fantastic first experience, and I look forward to placing many more orders.

The quality and size of the t-shirt matched the description, and the blue was exactly the right hue. This shirt worked perfectly for the printing we had applied, and our team appreciates the soft cotton material. The price was excellent, and delivery was prompt. We will certainly consider this company for future orders.

I really appreciate the thicker style of this t-shirt; it seems more robust compared to other lightweight options.
