Russell Athletic Unisex Dri Power® CVC Performance Long Sleeve T-Shirt - Russell Athletic 64LTTM

Russell Athletic 64LTTM Dri Power CVC Performance Long Sleeve Tee for Training, Teams, and Outdoor Sessions

The CVC performance tee is the modern answer to an old dilemma, cotton feel versus synthetic function, and the Russell Athletic Unisex Dri Power CVC Performance Long Sleeve T-Shirt (64LTTM) splits it at 60/40 cotton/polyester jersey, 4.8 oz./yd² (US) in 30 singles. Dri Power moisture wicking, UPF 30+ sun protection, and anti-odor technology run through a shirt that still feels like cotton against the skin. It is the long sleeve version of the Dri Power CVC performance short sleeve tee and covers the cool-weather slot in the Russell Athletic collection at Joes USA.

Specifications at a Glance

Quick Answer: Who the 64LTTM Serves

Teams and programs that train outdoors in shoulder seasons: fall conditioning, spring sports, morning practices, and any outdoor staff role where sun exposure adds up. The cotton-rich CVC face feels natural for all-day wear, while wicking, UPF 30+, and odor control cover the performance requirements a plain cotton long sleeve cannot.

Construction and Materials

CVC, chief value cotton, means the blend leans cotton at 60/40, knit here from 30-singles yarn into a smooth 4.8 oz. jersey. The cotton is sustainably sourced and USA grown; the polyester carries the durability and shape retention. Dri Power treatment moves sweat outward to evaporate, the fabric rates UPF 30+ against sun exposure, and anti-odor technology suppresses the bacteria that make training shirts unwearable between washes. The Eagle R flag tag sits at the left bottom hem, off the decoration zones.

Fit and Wear

The cut is a straight unisex athletic block with long sleeves finished in simple hems, layerable under fleece and vests without bulk. It works as a standalone in fall, a base layer in winter, and a sun layer in summer, one of the few shirts that earns roster space in all three roles. Cold-day kits pair it with the Dri Power fleece hoodie over the top.

Decoration Guidance

The smooth 30-singles face prints team marks crisply in screen print and DTF alike; the CVC blend needs modest cure control but nothing exotic. Full front, full back, left chest, and sleeve placements are all live, sleeve prints being especially popular for outdoor program branding. On the Oxford heather, underbase for accuracy. The hem-mounted flag tag keeps chest and back canvases clean.

Where 64LTTM Works Best

Wholesale and Program Buying

The smart play is to run the short and long sleeve CVC tees as one program: same fabric, same colors, same art, two sleeve lengths. Rosters get issued both, and the gear room restocks whichever runs low. Cold-climate programs bias the split toward long sleeves; the sporting goods assortment carries the rest of the kit around it.

Buyer and Reorder Workflow

Because the style runs continuously, programs standardize art once and reorder by size curve each season. The long sleeve typically turns over slower than the short sleeve in fall orders and faster in winter, so split initial orders accordingly and rebalance at the winter reorder. One print film serves both sleeve lengths.

Who Buys This Performance Long Sleeve

Coaches, athletic directors, camp and outdoor program managers, team dealers, and printers upgrading school accounts from basic cotton. They pick the 64LTTM because it adds wicking, sun, and odor performance without losing the cotton hand their wearers prefer, at a heritage brand their communities recognize.

Choosing Between 64LTTM and Its Companions

Our Recommendation

Issue the long sleeve as the default fall training shirt and let athletes self-select the short sleeve in summer. The UPF and odor features matter most across long outdoor blocks, exactly when long sleeves get worn, so this is the version where the performance treatments earn their keep daily.

Alternatives and Replacement Styles

Programs consolidating to one shirt year-round choose the short sleeve and layer it; those adding headwear for outdoor blocks slot in the Russell Athletic R dad cap or the structured R snap cap so sun coverage extends above the collar. All stay within the same ordering program.

What Sets It Apart

Most long sleeve blanks pick a lane: cotton feel or performance function. The 64LTTM stacks Dri Power wicking, UPF 30+, and anti-odor tech on a USA-grown-cotton CVC jersey, then finishes with a hem flag tag that leaves every print zone open. That combination at a continuously stocked team style is rare.

Care and Durability

Wash cold, tumble low, skip fabric softener, it coats the wicking finish. The 60/40 blend resists shrinking and holds color through team laundry cycles, and the anti-odor treatment keeps the shirt fresh across back-to-back sessions. Printed shirts wash best inside out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CVC mean on the Russell Athletic 64LTTM?
Chief value cotton: a cotton-majority blend, here 60/40 cotton/polyester, giving cotton hand feel with polyester durability and wash stability.

What is the fabric weight?
4.8 oz./yd² in US measure, 7.8 oz. per linear yard in Canadian measure, knit from 30-singles yarn for a smooth printable face.

Does this shirt protect against sun?
Yes, the fabric carries a UPF 30+ rating, meaningful for outdoor training blocks, camps, and field staff who accumulate hours of exposure.

How does the Dri Power feature work?
The moisture-wicking treatment moves sweat from the skin to the fabric face where it evaporates, keeping the cotton-rich jersey comfortable during conditioning.

What is the anti-odor technology for?
It suppresses odor-causing bacteria in the fabric, so the shirt stays wearable across multiple sessions between washes, a practical feature for travel and tournament weekends.

Is the Oxford color the same blend?
No, Oxford runs 53/47 polyester/cotton to create its heathered look; print it over an underbase for accurate colors.

Where is the logo placed?
An Eagle R flag tag at the left bottom hem, deliberately clear of chest, back, and sleeve decoration areas.

Is the cotton sustainably sourced?
Yes, the style is made with sustainably sourced USA grown cotton, part of the brands materials commitment on its core team styles.

Does it work as a winter base layer?
Yes. The slim 4.8 oz. jersey layers under fleece and jackets without bulk, wicking moisture at the skin where winter layering systems need it most.

How should it be laundered to protect performance?
Cold wash, low tumble, no fabric softener. Softener films over the wicking finish; skipping it preserves both moisture management and the anti-odor function.
