Description

The Augusta Sportswear 788 is a 3.7 oz 100% polyester wicking knit long sleeve tee designed for athletic and performance programs where moisture management is the primary requirement. The lightweight polyester wicking knit moves perspiration away from the body and dries faster than cotton or cotton-blend long sleeve tees. For team warm-up layers, practice jerseys, and outdoor event programs, the 788 provides coverage without the weight penalty of a fleece or heavyweight cotton long sleeve.

For decorators, the 100% polyester body requires a poly-block underbase and lower cure temperature on all coloured grounds to prevent dye migration during screen printing. DTF transfers are the most practical route for mixed-colour orders since the film bonds at controlled temperature without migration risk. Embroidery works but the lightweight 3.7 oz body requires moderate stitch count and cut-away stabilizer to avoid pucker. DTG printing is not recommended on 100% polyester as the ink sits on the surface rather than bonding. Sublimation works on White only. The tear-away label removes cleanly for relabeling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric is the Augusta Sportswear 788 wicking long sleeve tee made from?

The 788 is 3.7 oz 100% polyester wicking knit. The lightweight polyester moves perspiration away from the body and dries faster than cotton. Self-fabric collar and cuffs with set-in sleeves.

Can the Augusta 788 long sleeve tee be screen printed?

Yes, with precautions. The 100% polyester requires a poly-block underbase and lower cure temperature on all coloured grounds to prevent dye migration. DTF transfers are a simpler alternative since the film bonds without migration risk.

Is the Augusta 788 suitable for embroidery?

Yes, but the lightweight 3.7 oz body requires moderate stitch count and cut-away stabilizer to avoid pucker. Left-chest or sleeve placement works. Keep designs simple on this lightweight performance fabric.

How does the Augusta 788 compare to the Gildan G840 DryBlend long sleeve?

The Augusta 788 is 3.7 oz 100% polyester for maximum moisture-wicking. The Gildan G840 is 5.5 oz 50/50 cotton/poly DryBlend, heavier with some cotton content for DTG capability. Choose the 788 for pure performance, the G840 for a heavier cotton-blend feel.
