Product Information

Full details

This long-sleeve T-shirt from Fruit Of The Loom is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and versatile staple for everyday wear or printing. Its primary benefit lies in its soft feel and enhanced printability due to Belcoro yarn and a fine knit gauge. A key consideration is that specific color variants, like Heather Grey, Deep Navy, and Dark Heather, have different fabric compositions than the standard 100% Cotton.

FAQs

What is Belcoro yarn?

Belcoro yarn is a type of yarn used by Fruit Of The Loom that is processed to provide a softer feel and a cleaner, more consistent surface, which is beneficial for printing.

Are all colors made of 100% cotton?

No, while the standard colors are 100% cotton, specific variants have different compositions. For example, Heather Grey is 97% Cotton, 3% Polyester; Deep Navy is 100% Polyester; and Dark Heather is 50% Cotton, 50% Polyester.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided. The XL size is designed for a chest measurement of 44-46 inches.

Is this T-shirt suitable for screen printing?

Yes, the fine knit gauge and the use of Belcoro yarn make this T-shirt particularly suitable for screen printing, offering a clean surface for detailed designs.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric weight is approximately 160-165 grams per square meter (gm/m²), which is a standard weight for a versatile T-shirt.

Can I iron this T-shirt?

Yes, you can iron the T-shirt on a cool setting if needed. However, avoid ironing directly on any printed or decorated areas.

What does 'twin needle stitching' mean for durability?

Twin needle stitching uses two needles simultaneously to create parallel rows of stitches. This technique provides stronger, more durable seams, especially on hems and cuffs, making the garment last longer.

Troubleshooting

T-shirt appears to have shrunk significantly after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat settings in the dryer and opt for air drying if possible. Washing at lower temperatures can also help prevent shrinkage.

Print quality is not as expected

Ensure the garment surface is clean and free of lint before printing. Confirm that the printing method and inks are suitable for 100% cotton fabric. For blended fabrics (e.g., Heather Grey), check compatibility of printing materials.

Neckline or cuffs are stretching out

While the Cotton/Lycra rib crew neck is designed for durability, excessive stretching can occur with rough handling or incorrect washing/drying. Gentle washing and air drying will help maintain the shape.

Fabric feels rough after washing

Using a fabric softener during the wash cycle can help maintain softness. Ensure the garment is washed inside out to protect the fibers, and avoid over-drying.
