This next basic apparel recommendation on our Tultex wholesale brand highlight is one of my faves. The Tultex 241 Unisex Poly-Rich T-Shirt is made of 3.6 oz./yd², 65/35 polyester/combed ringspun USA cotton and is heat-set to minimize shrinkage. Features also include a ribbed crewneck collar, shoulder-to-shoulder taping, and double-needle stitching for extra durability. And the fact that this polyester heavy tee comes in 23 colors all with tearaway labels is an added bonus. Not to mention that mostly polyester tees can be used for sublimation printing unlike 100% cotton.

Since we are aren’t exactly in the middle of summer currently I should mention we have a long sleeve version of the poly-rich t-shirt above. The Tultex 242 Unisex Poly-Rich Long Sleeve T-Shirt offers all the same great features as the short sleeve and is available in 6 classic colors.
Next on our coveted top picks list is our Tultex 320 Unisex Fleece Hooded Sweatshirt. This far from basic hoodie is 7.5 oz. of 80/20 ringspun USA cotton/polyester. This unique blend gives you the softness and breathability of cotton with added durability from the polyester. The 320 is available in 14 gorgeous colors including heathers. It is worth noting that the heathered colors are 50/50 cotton/polyester instead of the 80/20. Which is an important difference if you are going to be printing on these. 50/50 cotton/poly blends are best suited for vintage style prints. All the colors, however, are reactive-dyed for long lasting color wash after wash.
These are only a few of the awesome wholesale blank apparel items we offer from Tultex. We are excited to partner with them and offer their quality garments at low wholesale price with enormous bulk volume discounts.
