DEFINITIONS:
Weight: This is the weight of one square yard of fabric. For example; a 6 oz. t-shirt will be a little thicker and heavier than a 5 oz.
Singles: The number of cotton threads within a square inch of fabric. Similar to thread counts in sheets, the higher the number, the softer the shirt. Because the threads are thinner the shirt fabric is thinner and lighter weight
Ringspun: A process where cotton threads are twisted and thinned while being made. This results in a finer and softer fabric when it is woven together.

Mix & Match! For example, if you order a total of 600 shirts you can combine Basic Tees, Ringspun Tees and Tech Tees, and get the 600 pc. price for all (as long as the print is the same). This allows you to offer an upgrade to a tri-blend or tech shirt to participants for an additional charge of $10 (or more). This can also apply to sweats and other apparel that you may sell at your event. Ask your rep about the details.
Most of the shirts below come in Long and Short Sleeve, Sleeveless, Men's/Unisex, Ladies and Youth
BASIC
5 - 5.4 oz Cotton or 50/50 Cotton/Poly Blend 18-20 Singles This is a good basic shirt and is commonly used as a giveaway shirt at many different types of events. |
RINGSPUN
3.8 - 4.5 oz. Either 100% Cotton or 50/50 to 65/35 Poly/Cotton 30 - 40 Singles These are popular for many different events including running and biking. They are softer than a basic shirt and comfortable to wear around around town, which promotes your event. We recommend using the cotton/poly blends as they have an even softer feel and due to the polyester content they have an inherent ability to wick moisture. |
MOISTURE WICKING
TECH TEES 3.5 - 4 OZ. 100% Polyester These are moisture wicking shirts commonly used by all types of athletes. They are called "Tech" (short for "Technical") shirts due to the technical nature of the fabric which draws sweat away from the body. They are lightweight, soft, and dry quickly keeping the runner or athlete cooler and more comfortable. |
TRI-BLEND
3.5 - 4 OZ. Varying percentages of Ringspun Cotton, Polyester and Rayon. 32 - 40 Singles The rayon adds more give and softness to the fabric making these the most comfortable to wear. Because of the poyester and rayon these have moisture wicking properties as well and many people like wearing these for casual wear as well as working out. |
