Overview

The Comfort Colors® Heavyweight Ring Spun Tee Style: 1717 is a timeless classic crafted for individuals who value softness, structure, and long-lasting comfort. Made with 100% U.S. ring spun cotton and featuring garment-dyed fabrication, this tee delivers a broken-in feel with rich, natural tones. Its heavyweight construction and relaxed fit make it ideal for casual wear, team apparel, or branding projects that demand both durability and style.

Fabric Composition

  • Material: 6.1-ounce, 100% ring spun cotton
  • Origin: Made from U.S.-grown cotton
  • Texture: Soft-washed, garment-dyed for a vintage hand feel
  • Weight: Heavyweight for structure and durability

Ring spun cotton fibers are finer, stronger, and more durable than standard cotton, offering a smoother surface and longer lifespan. Combined with Comfort Colors’ proprietary dyeing process, the result is a soft shirt that feels lived-in from the first wear.

Garment-Dyed Uniqueness

Each Comfort Colors 1717 tee is garment-dyed, meaning the shirt is dyed after being constructed. This method infuses every fiber with pigment, giving the fabric a rich, washed tone. Due to this method:

  • Each shirt is one-of-a-kind
  • There may be slight variations in color
  • The vintage look intensifies with each wash

This dye process also creates a deeper saturation that is fade-resistant and visually distinct, unlike pre-dyed fabrics.

Fit & Construction

The Comfort Colors 1717 tee boasts a relaxed fit with a seamless body, allowing for unrestricted movement and everyday comfort. Its construction includes:

  • Top-stitched, classic width rib collar
  • Twill-taped neck and shoulders to reinforce high-stress areas
  • Double-needle stitching at the collar and bottom hems for added durability
  • Twill label for enhanced comfort and vintage feel

These structural features ensure the shirt maintains its shape after repeated wears and washes while offering a soft, irritation-free experience.

Sizing & Versatility

With sizes typically ranging from S to 4XL, the 1717 tee offers inclusive sizing. Its unisex design makes it suitable for a variety of body types and use cases, including:

  • Work uniforms
  • Team shirts
  • Lounge wear
  • Outdoor activities
  • Casual wardrobe staples

Its classic look is versatile enough for both men and women, making it a flexible option for bulk ordering or retail inventory.

Comfort & Care

Thanks to its ring spun cotton and garment-washed process, the Comfort Colors heavyweight tee offers:

  • A naturally soft, breathable feel
  • Minimal shrinkage after wash
  • Durable fabric that holds up well over time

It is recommended to wash the garment with like colors, especially for the first few washes, as the dye may bleed slightly. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals to preserve the dye.

Ideal for Customization

Although it is not recommended to use white ink without precautions, the Comfort Colors 1717 is still a popular choice for screen printing and heat transfer. When customizing, be aware of:

  • Garment-dyed fabric’s effect on ink appearance
  • Need for special considerations when printing light colors

Despite the unique dye, many printers use this tee successfully with traditional methods when properly pre-treated.
