Why Choose the Bayside 1701 50/50 Blend?

The Bayside 1701 represents the perfect middle ground between 100% cotton and performance polyester tees. The 50/50 cotton/polyester blend delivers the natural comfort and breathability of cotton combined with the durability, shape retention, and fade resistance of polyester. This combination creates a t-shirt that feels good, looks good, and lasts significantly longer than pure cotton alternatives.

The cotton component provides the soft, natural feel against your skin that people love about cotton tees. It's breathable, comfortable, and familiar. The polyester component adds crucial performance benefits: it helps the shirt maintain its shape through repeated washing, resists fading and color loss, reduces shrinkage, and dries faster than 100% cotton.

For organizations ordering t-shirts in bulk, these polyester benefits translate to real-world value. Team uniforms maintain their appearance throughout the season. Work shirts look professional wash after wash. Promotional tees continue representing your brand with vibrant colors long after distribution. The reduced shrinkage means fewer sizing complaints and returns.

The shoulder-to-shoulder taping and double-needle stitched sleeves and hem demonstrate Bayside's commitment to construction quality. These reinforcements prevent the common problems of stretched-out necklines and unraveling hems, ensuring the shirt maintains its appearance and integrity through countless wears and washes.

Made in the USA, the Bayside 1701 supports American manufacturing while delivering the quality control and consistency that domestic production ensures. For organizations that value American-made products, this t-shirt proudly carries that distinction.

Customization & Decoration

The Bayside 1701's 50/50 cotton/polyester blend makes it an excellent choice for all decoration methods. The fabric provides a stable surface for screen printing, ensuring crisp, vibrant designs that won't distort or crack. The polyester content helps printed designs maintain their vibrancy longer than on 100% cotton tees.

For heat transfer vinyl and heat press applications, the 50/50 blend provides good adhesion while the fabric's stability prevents distortion during the heat application process. The smooth surface creates professional-looking transfers that withstand repeated washing.

Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing works well on the Bayside 1701, with the blend of fibers providing good ink absorption while maintaining color vibrancy. The fabric's durability ensures printed designs last as long as the shirt itself.

For embroidery, the fabric provides adequate stability to support detailed designs without excessive puckering. The shoulder-to-shoulder taping adds extra reinforcement in the shoulder area, making it suitable for left chest embroidery placements.

Bayside 1701 vs. 100% Cotton T-Shirts

When comparing the Bayside 1701 to 100% cotton t-shirts, the performance advantages of the 50/50 blend become clear. While 100% cotton tees are soft and comfortable when new, they tend to shrink significantly after the first wash, fade quickly with repeated washing, and lose their shape over time. The Bayside 1701's polyester content addresses all of these issues.

Shrinkage is one of the biggest complaints about 100% cotton tees. A cotton tee that fits perfectly when new can become unwearably small after a few washes. The Bayside 1701's 50/50 blend minimizes this problem, maintaining its size and fit through countless wash cycles.

Color retention is another major advantage. 100% cotton tees fade noticeably with repeated washing, especially in darker colors like black and navy. The polyester in the Bayside 1701 helps lock in color, keeping the shirt looking newer longer. This is particularly important for team uniforms and work apparel that need to maintain a consistent, professional appearance.

Shape retention is the third key benefit. 100% cotton tees stretch out around the neckline and lose their body over time, creating a worn, sloppy appearance. The Bayside 1701 maintains its shape and structure wash after wash, looking professional and put-together even after extensive wear.

The USA-made construction ensures consistent quality control and supports American manufacturing. Many 100% cotton tees are imported and can suffer from inconsistent sizing and quality between production runs. With the Bayside 1701, you get reliable consistency order after order.
