mr300s 1,272 Posted January 4, 2010 I have to do 10 youth shirts, should I go with the 100 % cotton that are a little more or will the Hanes Youth 50/50 T-Shirt - Blank / Plain work? I am trying to keep the cost down this is for a friend. Any problems I Will run into using the 50/50 since I am new at the T's and have only done the 100 % cotton ones...

midwaste 4 Posted January 4, 2010 Assuming you are just applying heat vinyl, 50/50 will work fine. Most basic heatpress vinyls are for cotton or poly blends. Screenprinting is where you have to be a bit more careful with poly blends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
23putts 0 Posted January 4, 2010 I try and use the best quality garments. Yeah it costs a bit more, but I never get any complaints with the finished product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bamafan2277 50 Posted January 4, 2010 If they are small kids that will grow out of the shirts within a year I would say 50/50 would be fine. If they plan on keeping them for a few years I would go 100% for the longer lasting/better feel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they plan on keeping them for a few years I would go 100% for the longer lasting/better feel Everyone around here wants 50/50 shirts. I've got some shirts here that have been washed well over a 100 times and they still look and feel great. I don't think 50/50 shirts are less quality at all.

tory 0 Posted January 4, 2010 I always use 50/50 and have no problems/complaints. I choose 50/50 because it doesn't shrink and holds up better than 100% cotton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
