Stay Cooler & Drier

Cotton is considered to be the most breathable fabric in the world, which helps keeps you feeling cool. Cotton is also absorbs moisture well, which makes it great for things like paper towels and toilet paper.
When cotton is used in a t-shirt fabric, it will also absorb your sweat so the cotton can become heavy and wet feeling.

Enter in polyester - which is a moisture wicking fabric that dries quickly but can leave you feeling much warmer. Combining polyester and cotton together gives you the best of both worlds. Your tee will be breathable but also moisture wicking.

Easier to Wash & Wear

Cotton will tend to wrinkle, polyester will not. A cotton/polyester will be much easier to pull out of the dryer and put on if the clothes have been sitting there for a few hours.
If your laundry tends to be wrinkle prone, you can spray your shirt will a little bit of wrinkle release and put it right on.

Polyester also does not shrink so your t-shirt will better retain its original size and shape. There is no need to hang dry or gently wash because cotton/polyester tees are some of the most durable tees on the market. They are designed to be a durable shirt that lasts through heavy wash and wear.

Perfect for Uses of All Kinds

Work shirts and Uniforms - Great for staff shirts, construction, landscaping teams, restaurants, warehouses, and service businesses because they are comfortable and hold up better to frequent washing.

Events & Fundraisers - A smart choice for 5Ks, charity events, school events, church groups, camps, and volunteers because they are budget friendly, a universal fit.

Athletics and Outdoor activities - Good for casual team shirts, summer events, field days, outdoor crews, and recreational sports because the polyester helps the shirt dry faster than 100% cotton.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cotton/Poly Blends

We recommend that you chose your t-shirt fabric based on how you want your t-shirt to perform. Cotton is breathable and will keep you cool, but if you are sweating in it, you may feel more "wet" when wearing it. It will also become heavier because it will hold your sweat. Polyester is a moisure wicking fabric and does not absorb moisture (think of a bathing suit) so it will feel less heavy, but it does tend to feel overall warmer when wearing it. If you want breathability but would like to reduce the "wet" feeling of your shirt, a poly/cotton shirt is a great choice.

While a blend t-shirt generally features a combonation of blends, they can vary in the actual percentage of fabric blend ratios. What does that mean? We are here to help:

  • 50% Cotton, 50% Polyester Blends - A 50/50 cotton/polyester blend will have exactly that. This means that there is an equal amount of cotton to polyester, so the benefits of cotton vs polyester will be about equal.
  • Over 50% Cotton Blends - Products that have a higher ratio of cotton than polyester tend to be softer and wear a little bit cooler due to cotton's breathability. The more cotton in the product the more they will shrink and wrinkle more.
  • Over 50% Polyester Blends - These products will have more of an athletic style shirt feel. They will be more moisture wicking, but they will tend to be not as soft and not as comfy for casual wear. If you are looking for a sports tee or athletic blend, be sure to choose an item with more polyester - the more the better.

The term "cotton blend" simply refers to a fabric or material that is made up of cotton and another fiber such as polyester, rayon, spandex, etc.

No! We offer cototn/poly or 50/50 blends with no minimum order required. Our no minimum print method is direct-to-film as cotton/poly blends are not DTG eligable.
