Custom LAT Apparel T-shirts

Both are women’s fine jersey tees from the same LAT Apparel line, so the fabric weight and overall quality are comparable. The 3516 is a classic crew neck, which tends to photograph well and works across a broad range of design styles. The 3507 has a V-neck cut, which some customers actively seek out for everyday wear and layering. For print on demand purposes, both styles print cleanly with DTG since the fine cotton jersey provides a consistent surface. The practical question for sellers is whether your audience skews toward one neckline or the other. Running both in your catalog is a low-risk way to capture either preference, especially since the designs can be shared across both listings with minimal extra work.

The 6937 is a men’s fine cotton jersey crew neck tee described as a “football tee,” which typically refers to the classic contrast-sleeve raglan style — solid body with contrasting sleeves in a different color. It’s a distinctive look that immediately reads as sporty or retro, and it stands out visually in a way that a standard solid tee doesn’t. For print on demand, this style works particularly well for sports-related niches, team spirit designs, collegiate aesthetics, and nostalgic or Americana-inspired brands. The contrast sleeve design does add a visual element to the product even before any custom print is applied, so your design needs to work with the two-tone base rather than against it. Simple front chest graphics, minimalist logos, and typographic designs tend to complement the football tee format better than edge-to-edge prints.

Fine jersey is generally a reliable surface for DTG, but the lighter fabric weight is worth understanding before you commit to a design strategy. On a fine jersey tee, DTG ink can appear slightly softer and more integrated into the fabric compared to the crisper, more opaque results you get on a thicker cotton blank like a Gildan 5000. This is not a flaw — for many design styles it actually looks better, more like a garment-washed vintage print than a freshly screen-printed result. Where it becomes a consideration is with designs that rely heavily on bright white ink or very dense color fields, because coverage can look lighter on a fine jersey surface. Designs with clean linework, text, or lighter color palettes typically translate very well. As always, ordering a sample before scaling a listing is the most reliable way to evaluate the final result on any specific blank.

LAT Apparel occupies a similar space to Bella + Canvas and Next Level in that all three brands target the softer, fashion-forward end of the blank market rather than the commodity tier. The practical differences are subtle but real. Bella + Canvas is arguably the most recognized name in this segment and often carries the strongest brand recognition with end consumers. Next Level is well known for its triblend fabrics and fitted cuts. LAT Apparel’s strength is specifically in women’s and youth sizing, with a long track record of producing styles that fit female customers well without requiring the usual “size down” adjustment that unisex tees often demand. If your store is focused on women’s apparel and you want a blank that was designed with that customer in mind rather than adapted from a men’s template, LAT Apparel is a genuinely good fit. For a mixed or unisex catalog, Bella + Canvas or Next Level may offer more range across the full product line.
