Comfort Colors 1717 Garment-Dyed Heavyweight T-Shirt

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.
