DON'T SEE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
The finished price depends on your garment, sizes, quantity, artwork and print locations. Blank-garment prices are not the total price of customized shirts.
Find your heavyweight fit
Compare the details that change how a shirt looks and feels. A heavier fabric does not automatically mean an oversized fit.
Classic fit
American Apparel 1301 pairs a 6 oz. fabric with a classic fit. Start here if you want a familiar silhouette rather than a dropped-shoulder look.
Boxy or oversized
Lane Seven LS16005 offers a boxy fit. Shaka Wear SHMHSS and SHGDD offer oversized silhouettes, with 7.5 oz. fabric listed for both Shaka styles.
Garment-dyed finish
Comfort Colors 1717 and Shaka Wear SHGDD are garment-dyed options. Compare the exact colors and product details rather than assuming their fit or fabric is the same.
What makes a shirt heavyweight?
Fabric weight describes the weight of an area of fabric, often listed in ounces per square yard. It is not the total weight of the finished shirt. Use it to compare options alongside fit, fiber and construction.
Our category includes 6 oz. classic tees and 7.5 oz. Shaka Wear options. A heavier fabric can give a more substantial feel, while the cut determines whether the shirt looks fitted, classic or oversized.
Some listings do not provide a single confirmed weight. Ask us if that number is important to your collection. Also check the selected color: heather and charcoal variants may use different fiber blends.
For a lighter alternative, compare premium tees. For more coverage, browse long-sleeve shirts.
Heavyweight shirts for your people
Choose apparel that suits the wearer and the project. Then build one clear list of garment colors, sizes and quantities.
For clothing brands
Build a consistent collection around fit, fabric and print placement. Compare size charts before choosing artwork dimensions.
For crews and businesses
A classic heavyweight tee can be a starting point for staff and crew shirts. Collect style, color and size choices before requesting pricing.
For school and event merch
Start with the audience and size range. These featured styles list adult sizes; check youth options separately when your order includes children.

Heavyweight shirts: questions before you order
Compare your garment, artwork and deadline before committing to a print run.
Are heavyweight shirts always oversized?
No. Fabric weight and fit are different specifications. American Apparel 1301 lists a classic fit, while Shaka Wear SHMHSS lists an oversized or relaxed fit. Use the size chart for your exact style.
Which heavyweight shirt should I choose for a brand?
Start with the silhouette you want. Compare Lane Seven LS16005 for a boxy look, Shaka Wear styles for oversized options and Comfort Colors 1717 for a garment-dyed finish. Confirm labels, colors and print dimensions before production.
How much will my printed shirts cost?
The total depends on garment choice, quantity, sizes, artwork and print locations. Configure the product online or request a bulk quote. A listed blank-shirt price is not a finished printed-shirt price.
Can I mix sizes and colors?
Our screen-printing guidance allows mixed sizes and shirt colors when artwork and ink colors remain the same. Confirm mixed styles, availability and any larger-size charges before ordering.
What artwork should I provide?
Send the original, highest-quality file and specify the intended print dimensions. The garment upload tool lists SVG, PNG, JPG, TIFF, GIF, PDF and EPS files up to 25 MB. DTF transfers have their own PNG preparation requirements.
Will a heavyweight shirt shrink?
Follow the care instructions for the specific garment and decoration. Do not assume all heavyweight shirts have identical shrinkage or fit after washing. Check the product details and ask us if sizing after laundering is important.
Do you offer rush orders or shipping?
Share your required in-hand date before placing an order. Production time, rush availability and shipping arrangements need confirmation for the specific job. Review rush printing.

Our physical shop is at 701 N Maclay Ave, San Fernando, CA 91340. We serve Los Angeles and surrounding areas. Wait for our team to confirm your order is ready before pickup.
