Youth Heavy Cotton™ T-Shirt
The Youth Heavy Cotton™ T-Shirt is a durable everyday shirt for schools, youth groups, sports teams, camps, clubs, family events, and organizations ordering coordinated apparel for children. Its main advantage is dependable structure: the 5.3 oz. fabric offers more substance than a lightweight tee while remaining comfortable for regular wear. The classic fit, rib collar, reinforced neck and shoulders, and tear-away label make it suitable for classroom programs, field trips, fundraisers, team activities, birthday events, community projects, and recurring youth apparel orders. Its dependable construction also supports replacement orders when growing programs need matching garments.
Built to Handle Active Youth Programs
Children’s apparel must withstand movement, repeated washing, and busy group activities. Taped neck and shoulder seams reinforce high-stress areas, while the rib collar helps the neckline keep its shape.
Everyday Comfort With Reliable Structure
The primary fabric is 100% U.S. cotton with a 20-singles construction. Cotton supports breathability and a familiar feel, while the classic cut leaves room for movement without looking excessively oversized.
A tear-away label supports rebranding and can reduce irritation when removed correctly. The shirt is also CPSIA Tracking Label compliant, an important consideration for youth apparel programs.
Youth Heavy Cotton™ T-Shirt Fabric Options
Fabric composition varies by color. Ash Grey uses a 99/1 cotton-polyester blend, while Sport Grey uses 90/10 cotton-polyester. Dark Heather, Graphite Heather, neon shades, and safety colors use a 50/50 blend for color consistency and durability.
Safety Green is ANSI/ISEA 107 compliant for enhanced visibility. Organizations should still confirm whether it is appropriate for the intended setting.
