HEAVYWEIGHT
TEES: A TALE OF THE TAPE

This Summer, heavyweight tees are reigning supreme as we see a shift across all sectors (apparel brands, band merch, etc.) from wanting the softest tees to preferring the heaviest apparel possible. Below we’ll lay out the top contenders in this category and what you need to know before choosing one for your next custom apparel project.

But first… what qualifies a tee as “heavyweight?”
For reference, the average Gildan tee is 5.3oz and lighter weight tees like Next Level tee are usually around 4.5oz. Anything north of
6oz. is eligible for heavyweight status.

The Contenders

Who comes out on top?

Every tee on this list (including honorable mentions like Rue Porter and Cotton Heritage) have pros and cons so the answer will largely depend on your individual needs. Ponying up the extra cash for a brand like LA Apparel is generally worth it and will produce higher resale values but even the less expensive brands like Alstyle will hold up over time.

If using a heavyweight tee is new for your audience, Comfort Colors and MADE Blanks make for an elevated product that shouldn’t push people too far outside of their comfort zone, while an AsColour Heavy tee may be too much of a departure from a standard style t-shirt.

We’re standing by to answer your questions, get you samples, and help you find the best option for your next project!
