In the world of premium blank t-shirts, few names stand out as distinctly as American Apparel’s 2001 Fine Jersey T-Shirt. A favorite for its seamless body and rich variety of colors, this 100% ring-spun combed cotton tee has become a go-to for screen printers and style-savvy individuals. Made in the USA, the American Apparel brand carries a weight of quality and a hint of controversy that has garnered global recognition and a devoted following.

But there’s a new contender in town – the Canvas 3001 T-shirt. Weighing in at 4.2 oz, this unisex tee boasts 35 color options, including trendy heathered hues. What sets the Canvas 3001 apart is its meticulous construction – from its silky combed and ring-spun cotton to its contoured side seams and reinforced double stitching at the sleeves and hem. Bella+Canvas dedicates itself to crafting a tee with a consistent, fine knit, and it’s evident in the 3001’s quality.

For those looking for a domestically manufactured option, Canvas offers the 3001U, echoing the same high standards but with the added appeal of being made in the USA.

Choosing between these two titans of t-shirt design comes down to personal or client preference. Both are fashioned to flatter both male and female frames, offering a sleek, fashion-forward fit perfect for custom screen printing. Consider these factors when making your decision:
