Our basic tee is a 5.4 oz. heavyweight, 100% cotton garment; 2 needle stitching, taped shoulders for strength and comfort. Many of our competitors use inferior grade, lighter promotional weight blanks which don't hold up under repeated washing and wearing. They lack the weight that lends longevity and the comfortable cut and fit of a higher grade tee. We use a permanent, color-fast "fiber-reactive" dye system in which the dye particles assimilate into the cellulose of the cotton fiber, locking in the color. Many of our competitors use inferior, petroleum-based "pigment"-type dyes which only bond with the outside of the fiber. Consequently, after repeated washings, these dye particles are literally scraped off the garment, and colors become flat and thin.
