Why Choose the Comfort Colors 1717?

The Comfort Colors 1717 is engineered specifically for screen printers, retailers, and brands who demand premium blank tees with distinctive styling. The garment-dyeing process creates the signature Comfort Colors look - soft, faded colors with a lived-in vintage feel that customers love. Unlike piece-dyed tees that are dyed before construction, garment-dyeing happens after the shirt is sewn, creating unique color variations and ultra-soft hand feel.

What sets the 1717 apart is its almost no shrinkage guarantee. The garment-dyeing process pre-shrinks the fabric, so customers can wash and dry with confidence knowing the tee will maintain its size and shape. The 6.1 oz heavyweight construction provides substantial feel without being too heavy, while the 100% ring-spun cotton ensures exceptional softness and breathability.

The extensive 66-color palette includes Comfort Colors' signature shades that have become iconic in the blank apparel industry. Colors like Pepper, Blue Jean, and Ivory are instantly recognizable and command premium prices in retail. The relaxed fit appeals to a wide demographic and works for casual, streetwear, and lifestyle applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes garment-dyed different from regular dyed tees?
A: Garment-dyeing happens after the shirt is sewn (not before like piece-dyeing), creating the signature soft, vintage feel and unique color variations. This process also pre-shrinks the fabric, resulting in almost no shrinkage at home. The colors have a lived-in, faded appearance that's instantly recognizable as Comfort Colors.

Q: Will the 1717 shrink when washed?
A: The garment-dyeing process pre-shrinks the fabric, resulting in almost no shrinkage at home when following care instructions. This is a major advantage over standard tees that can shrink significantly after first wash.

Q: What decoration methods work best on Comfort Colors?
A: The 1717 accepts all standard decoration methods including screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), and embroidery. The soft, garment-dyed fabric provides an excellent printing surface with superior ink adhesion and vibrant color results.

Q: How does the 1717 compare to the 1566 sweatshirt?
A: The 1717 is a 6.1 oz heavyweight t-shirt, while the Comfort Colors 1566 is a garment-dyed crewneck sweatshirt. Both feature the same garment-dyeing process and signature Comfort Colors colors - your choice depends on whether you need a t-shirt or sweatshirt.

Q: Is the fit true to size?
A: The 1717 offers a relaxed, comfortable fit that's true to standard unisex sizing. The relaxed fit is more generous than slim-fit styles but not oversized. For a more fitted look, consider sizing down; for an oversized look, size up.

Q: What makes Comfort Colors sustainable?
A: Comfort Colors meets OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for sustainable manufacturing, uses OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, features salt-free clean pigment dye colors, is a proud member of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, and is made in WRAP certified facilities partnered with Fair Labor Association.
