Comfort Colors 1717 Blank T-Shirt for DTF Printing

The Comfort Colors 1717 Garment-Dyed T-Shirt is the premier blank for custom apparel programs that demand a vintage, lived-in aesthetic. Its 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun cotton construction is garment-dyed and pigment-dyed after production — giving each color a naturally weathered, soft texture and subtle tonal variation that mass-produced blanks cannot replicate. Available in sizes S through 4XL across 15 colorways at DTF Jersey, the 1717 is the standard blank for boutique brands, premium merch drops, and custom apparel programs where the garment itself needs to communicate quality before anyone looks at the print.

Key Features of the Comfort Colors 1717

• 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun cotton — garment-dyed after construction for a vintage, pigment-washed finish

• Natural tonal variation in each colorway — no two garments are identical, consistent with the garment-dye process

• Oversized, relaxed fit with a slightly boxy silhouette for a modern retail aesthetic

• Soft-washed texture with a lived-in hand feel from the first wear

• Ribbed collar with cover-stitched detail for structural durability

• Available in 15 colorways: Black, White, Ivory, Pepper, Moss, Espresso, Graphite, Bay, Blossom, Blue Jean, Blue Spruce, Grey, True Navy, Navy, Chambray

• Sizes S through 4XL

The Premium Blank for Boutique Brands and High-End Custom Apparel

The 1717 is what independent brands and boutique apparel labels reach for when they want the garment to do as much work as the print. The garment-dye process produces colors that feel broken in and authentic — Moss reads differently from Forest Green, Espresso lands differently from Dark Chocolate, and Blossom has a quality that no standard dyed cotton can match. For NJ and NY-area brands building direct-to-consumer custom apparel lines, these distinctions matter because they separate boutique products from bulk custom merchandise.

DTF transfers adhere cleanly to the 1717's ring-spun cotton surface, producing full-color results that complement rather than fight the garment's texture. The slightly oversized, relaxed fit has become a preferred silhouette in the current retail market — which means the 1717 functions as both a print vehicle and a fashion-forward product in its own right.
