Bayside BA5040 - Unisex 100% Cotton T-Shirt - Lime

The Bayside BA5040 is a 5.4 oz 100% preshrunk cotton USA-made midweight tee at 20/1 open-end yarn. The defining feature is the USA-made origin: the BA5040 is cut, sewn, and finished in the United States, which matters for government contracts, union programs, and corporate buy-American mandates that require domestic manufacturing. At 5.4 oz, the BA5040 sits between lightweight 4 oz retail tees and 6+ oz heavyweights, giving it enough body for workwear without the bulk of a Beefy-T.

The decoration strategy on the BA5040 follows open-end cotton rules. The 20/1 open-end yarn has a slightly coarser surface than ring-spun, which means fine-detail halftones and thin line work show more dot gain than they would on a 30+ singles ring-spun blank. For DTF transfers, the cotton surface seats transfer film cleanly at standard press settings. For screen printing, plastisol prints with solid opacity on the 5.4 oz open-end face. Bold spot-colour designs print sharper on open-end than fine photographic detail. Solid colours in 100% cotton carry no dye migration risk. Dark Ash (90/10) has minimal poly content. For DTG, the 100% cotton solids pretreat and hold DTG ink at standard settings. For embroidery, the 5.4 oz fabric handles left-chest and full-front placements with a tear-away or cut-away backing. For vinyl/HTV, the cotton surface holds vinyl at standard settings.

The 5190P at $8.24 adds a chest pocket and ring-spun yarn at a similar price.
