I sublimated a design on the shirt. Color came out great, and vibrant.

Okay so I bought a sublimation printer before reading all the good stuff you should know. Actually, my husband bought it, therefore that should not be held against me. Anyway...turns out you need to use 100% polyester shirts to get really vibrant prints. WHAT?? How am I going to convince my customers to wear granny's poly?? I am not going to make a penny with this stuff. So the shirts came in. Oh. My. Gosh. I am in absolute LOVE (don't tell my husband). These shirts are softer than a bunny's... uh... foot. They are a wee on the thin side, but heck, everyone is showing skin anyway and they sure aren't that bad. This is seriously my new favorite shirt. I will go broke on these shirts. I keep telling myself to sell these shirts, but my closet is getting fuller and fuller. LOVE these shirts! Wait. No. Don't buy them. If y'all buy them, they may run out and I just can't have that. Great shirt, seriously.

These shirts are great for sublimation! I use these almost daily for my customers. They run true to size and don’t peel.

These tees are sooooo perfect for sublimation. They aren’t silky like a drifit tee, but super soft and cotton feely. I DEFIANTLY recommend this brand of tee if you want a bright image printed

I was planning on sublimating this shirt for a gift, which is a good thing, because I didn't invest in 100 of them. The problem is the dye does not withstand sublimation temperatures, at least with this particular color. At my usual 400 degrees/60 seconds which works for all other shirts I have tried, I got a very noticeable light square the size of my press around my image and a horrendous press mark. I sought help on sublimation groups, and was warned this model and color was very difficult to sub. I used their recommendations to greatly lower temperature and pressure (which is already light) for this shirt. I cut up the shirt into small pieces and made my image smaller. I had to do A LOT of testing to get the image to be close to black as possible while not having the dye lift or fade, or get a press mark. Many temp, pressure and dwell times later, I settled on 380 degrees for 70 seconds. On my second full size try, I got lighter stripes through the dyed shirt. Sigh. I bought a third. Tried 375 degrees for 70 seconds and though I got some sheen marks, it was giftable. I don't think I will ever buy this shirt again. I certainly would not go into production with it. I loved the color and the feel. I had purchased a Jerzees charcoal shirt to use if I could not get this to work the third time, and at my normal settings, it was fine.

I bought these shirts for a group that was running the Spartan Race. Overall I loved the quality and feel of the shirts. Iheat pressed them with heat transfer vinyl and it took wonderfully, I however had to press the entire shirt as the heat discolored it where I pressed so it created a litttle bit more work.

We owe a print shop and these shirts are the best to work with either with sublimation or heat transfer. We are happy with them as are the customers. Very durable comfortable.

The shirt is nice, I should have read the description closer as I was wanting the dry-fit material and this isn't that. It is nicer than the regular cotton tee shirts though and still a good value for the price.

We use these shirts often for our customers. They are soft and breathe well. Sizing is pretty true to size as well. Perhaps a little more fitted/a little more shape then a regular tshirt. My only reason for a 4 start review vs a 5 star is that they do tend to pill after a few washes - so durability/longevity isn't quite what I'd like it to be!

Ordered for a ball team that was wanting them as a uniform top. But when they came in wasn't the feel they were wanting for their uniform. For being 100% polyester it feels more like a soft cotton. Ended up still using them for their teams fan gear!!!! Used stretch HTV and they came out great parents loved the soft feel!!

I use the shirts to market my brand with my logo. Color is accurate Fit and feel is great. Material is great for a work out or everyday performance shirt.

Love how well they take sublimatiin and how soft they are!

These are thin. They are nice soft, not like athletic material. That's why we buy them. But would really like to see a heavier weight polyester that feels like cotton. The white is VERY see thru. We sublimate on the lime, white, safety pink, carolina blue, prairie dust and sport grey. The charcoal can only have black sublimation to show up well.

I ordered these shirts because of the reviews and I am so glad I did. I placed another order last week and placing another one today. I did the Texas orange, military Green and the last one was Prairie dust

My husband loves these because they are very soft. HTV works great on these shirts and they look great. They hold up well after many washes too. The only thing I don't like about them is that they pill after a few washes. My husband still prefers to use these even with that though!

This is my favorite shirt to sub on!! No silky feel. Its soft and has a good feel.

Works perfect for sublimation. Customers are very happy with this shirt and love that it feels like a normal cotton tee rather than the drifit polyester t’s.

Amazing for sublimation! However, do be aware that they are very sheer. Although they are quite comfortable. This is a medium in the pic below.

I bought these to do sublimation and they turned out amazing. They are so soft and fit great. Very true to size for me and my husband. I will be buying these over and over for all my sublimation prints!

These are fantastic! The black color does not fad. The shirts do not lose their shape. I've had some of these shorts for a year. I wear then to work as a massage therapist. I amazed at how they retain color after washing over and over. Great product. I have 10 of these shirts.

I purchased these for my fitness class, the co instructors and I. Love the feel, they are great to work out in. Use sublimation printing super easy!
this review helpful
I ordered a bunch of small shirts and a few mediums, the medium shirts were fine, but the smalls that I ordered were the exact same size as the mediums, and actually had a sticker saying "small" covering the original printed size of the shirt that said "medium" when you hold it in the light... I was shocked, so didn't get what I wanted and am swimming in these shirts so spent money for something to not even fit. Other than that, white is pretty see through, blue was good though.

I have been using these for a few weeks now and they are great! I have subbed on white, blue and pink so far and it looks perfect. The shirt are unisex and I would stick with your regular size.

Great shirts, super soft

We love this shirt! It feels like cotton but is 100% polyester. Sublimation on these is so good. For the colored shirts I use sublimation vinyl. For the white ones, regular sublimation paper. My only complaint is the white ones are NEVER in stock. The teens love to wear these shirts to the gym.

I wear these to the gym. The fabric breathes and wicks very well and the shirts are cut long enough so I don't have to expose my rippling abs when I use the lat machine!
At this price I bought a drawer full. I've used other shirts, and I prefer these to shirts

We love the GIldan G420 for a performance shirt that is not shiny. It feels like cotton. Holds up well in the wash and takes HTV well. Fits true to size, though broad shouldered may want to size up.

Worked well for sublimation

Great for sublimation
This is the only shirt I will use that have 100% polyester. If you want the fullest color on your shirts, this is the one to get. You usually want at least 50% polyester, but the higher the count, the better the color will show.
I used infusible ink on these shirts and it took very well. Shirts are true to size and very comfortable just the lighter colors are a little see through.
Runs a full size smaller than the normal anvil 980 is that I use for vinyl work. Plan accordingly and you’re golden!
I used these for sublimation and they turned out great. They are true to size and very soft.
