The Comfort Colors Heavyweight T-Shirt (1717) is the icon of the garment-dyed market, the definitive choice for anyone who prioritizes substance, structure, and superior longevity in their apparel. Made from heavy-duty 6.1 oz. ring-spun cotton, this shirt feels substantial and only gets softer with every wash while holding its classic shape. We pair this legendary base with your custom design, which we can apply perfectly using expert screen printing for vibrant, crack-resistant colors on bulk orders, DTF (Direct-to-Film) for detailed, full-color graphics on any order size, or a simple heat press for specialized transfers. Regardless of the method, the combination of this durable canvas and our professional printing ensures your logo or design will endure the elements and become a permanent part of the shirt’s rich, perfectly faded, vintage character.
This printing types works best for groups, so our minimum order size is typically 12 shirts per design. This ensures you get the best print quality and value.
Production time usually takes 7 to 10 business days after you approve the design proof. Shipping time is added to this, so please plan accordingly for your event date!
Yes, the 1717 model is generally considered to fit true to size, but it has a specific feel:
Fit Profile: It offers a relaxed, boxier, and more classic (or "vintage") fit compared to modern retail cuts. It is designed to be roomy and comfortable, not slim or fitted
Fabric: Since it's a 6.1 oz. heavyweight cotton, the shirt holds its shape very well and has a substantial, rigid feel, especially before washing. This bulkiness can sometimes make it feel slightly larger than other shirts of the same size.
Recommendation: Order the size you normally wear for a comfortable, classic T-shirt. Do not size down unless you strongly prefer a snug fit.
For the best results, please submit your artwork as a high-resolution file such as a PNG (with a transparent background) or a vector file (like PDF or AI).
Screen Printing is like using a stencil and wet paint directly on the shirt; it's slow to set up, but cheap for high volumes and creates the most durable, bold designs. Heat Press Printing is the general method of taking a pre-made design (like vinyl or special paper) and sticking it onto the fabric using a hot press machine. DTF (Direct-to-Film) is the best kind of digital "sticker" within that "Heat Press" category; it prints any color or photo onto a film and then uses the press to apply that complete, versatile design to any type of fabric.
