The Heavyweight Garment-Dyed T-Shirt (CO100) is Comfort Colors' flagship tee — a genuinely heavy, ring-spun cotton shirt dyed after construction for a soft, vintage character that only improves with wear.

Made from 6.1oz 100% ring-spun US cotton with 100% cotton threads throughout, it has a rib collar, shoulder-to-shoulder twill tape, a signature twill label and a relaxed, seamless (tubular) body. Stocked in 27 colours from S to 4XL.

What Sets the CO100 Apart

A Genuinely Heavy Tee

At 6.1oz, this is one of the heavier ring-spun tees on the market, giving a substantial, durable feel rather than a lightweight promotional shirt.

Garment-Dyed for Real Character

Because it's dyed after the garment is fully constructed, each piece has a soft, lived-in feel and subtle natural shade variation that conventional pre-dyed fabric can't replicate.

Genuinely Minimal Shrinkage

The garment-dyeing and soft-washing process is specifically designed to pre-shrink the fabric, so sizing stays consistent through repeated washing.

An Exceptionally Wide Colour Range

27 colours, spanning muted vintage tones to brighter statement shades, gives real scope to match retail, event or brand palettes precisely.

Ideal For

• Premium retail and lifestyle merchandise
• Festival and event branding
• Vintage-style streetwear
• Corporate apparel wanting a soft, worn-in feel
• Custom printing and embroidery projects

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "garment-dyed" mean?
The finished t-shirt is dyed after it's fully constructed rather than dyeing the yarn or fabric beforehand — this gives it a softer, more lived-in feel and subtle natural shade variation.

What is the CO100 made from?
100% ring-spun US cotton at 6.1oz, with cotton threads used throughout construction.

Does the CO100 shrink much?
The garment-dyeing process is specifically designed to minimise shrinkage at home, though some natural cotton shrinkage should still be expected.

Is the CO100 suitable for printing?
Yes — it's suitable for screen printing, DTG, embroidery and water-based transfers.

Is the CO100 ethically manufactured?
Yes — it's made with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, using cotton grown as part of the US Cotton Trust Protocol.
