Cates Engineering - Combed Cotton T-Shirt

The Tultex 602 is the gold standard for premium, high-quality basics, offering a level of softness and durability that far exceeds standard promotional tees. Constructed from 4.5-ounce, 100% ring-spun USA combed cotton, this shirt undergoes a meticulous combing process to remove impurities, resulting in an exceptionally smooth surface that is ideal for high-detail screen printing and DTG. With its modern-actuated fit and side-seamed construction, the 602 provides a tailored silhouette that looks just as good at a retail checkout as it does as a comfortable everyday essential.

Key Features & Specifications

• Premium Material: Crafted from 4.5-ounce, 100% ring-spun USA combed cotton (Heathers feature a poly/cotton blend) for an ultra-soft hand feel and superior breathability.
• Superior Print Surface: The 30 singles thread weight ensures a tight, smooth knit that provides excellent ink adhesion and vibrant color reproduction for custom branding.
• Modern Tailored Fit: Designed with a slight "retail fit" that is slimmer through the body and sleeves than a standard heavy-weight tee for a contemporary look.
• Enhanced Durability: Features reactive-dyed fabric for long-lasting color vibrance and double-needle stitching on the sleeves and bottom hem to prevent fraying.
• Structural Integrity: Built with side-seams rather than a tubular construction to ensure the shirt retains its shape and resists twisting after multiple washes.
• Comfort Details: Includes a ribbed crewneck collar and a convenient tear-away label, making it perfect for custom rebranding or sensitive skin.
• Sustainable Sourcing: Proudly utilizes USA-grown cotton, supporting domestic agriculture and ethical manufacturing standards.
• Care Instructions: To keep your Tultex tee in peak condition, machine wash cold with like colors and use only non-chlorine bleach; tumble dry on low heat and use a cool iron if necessary, taking care to avoid any printed areas.
