Anvil 887L - Women's Lightweight Long-Sleeve Hooded T-Shirt - Heather Dark Gray / Dark Gray

The Anvil 887L is a 4.3 oz combed ring-spun cotton women's long-sleeve hooded t-shirt, semi-fitted with side seams and an unlined hood with a circular drawcord. It is not a fleece hoodie. The jersey construction makes it the correct blank when a decorated program calls for a hooded silhouette without the weight of an 8 oz fleece, and it is common in women's run/walk event, spirit-wear, and salon or studio programs where the print drives the look rather than a heavy layering garment. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification covers the finished fabric.

The most important print decision on the Anvil 887L is the colour-group split, because the substrate changes completely between solids and heathers. Solid colours are 100% combed ring-spun cotton 30 singles, a clean cotton face that takes DTF, screen print plastisol, DTG, water-based, and discharge cleanly on light grounds and with a white underbase on dark grounds. Heather colours, including Heather Green, Heather Purple, Heather Blue, and Heather Dark Gray, are 60% polyester / 40% cotton, a poly-majority blend. Run a low-bleed poly-block underbase on heather colourways and cure at the lower end of the ink manufacturer's range to control dye migration; do not skip the poly-block even on lighter heathers because the 60% poly load will ghost plastisol on a dark heather ground if the underbase is thin. The Neon Yellow drawcord on heather colourways is a fluorescent thread and can distract from embroidered designs in the hood-adjacent area, so plan left-chest or lower-body placements on those combinations. For DTF, the semi-fitted side-seamed construction loads flat on the platen and the 4.3 oz jersey is thin enough to pick up fine detail well. For embroidery, the 4.3 oz weight is at the light end for hooded garments, so use a cut-away stabiliser and keep stitch counts moderate to avoid puckering the side seams. The unlined hood means you can print or embroider the hood interior if the program calls for it, which is not possible on a double-lined fleece hoodie.

The 887L's side-seamed construction holds consistent placement run to run for left-chest, full-front, and lower-body prints. Because it is a jersey hooded tee rather than a fleece, it reorders consistently within the Anvil line; the heather colourways carry a fixed 60/40 poly-cotton blend across production runs, so confirm whether your colourway is a solid cotton or a 60/40 heather before a repeat run if the underbase spec changed between orders.
