Verdict

The American Apparel Garment-Dyed Heavyweight Cotton Tee (1301GD) is a perfect blend of vintage style and modern comfort. Crafted from 6 oz./yd² 100% cotton with 18 singles, this tee is garment-dyed to achieve a unique, faded look that exudes a timeless, well-worn charm while ensuring minimal shrinkage at home. Its relaxed fit, wide rib collar, and taped neck and shoulders offer enhanced comfort and durability.

As a proud member of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, this tee reflects American Apparel's commitment to responsible cotton farming and eco-friendly practices.

Print Verdict

Material is not as flat as some shirts but with special precautions it can have a soft smooth print just like the best shirts. When screen printing take precautions to not overheat this garment.
