Description
The Bayside BA5070 is a 5.4 oz 100% cotton pocket tee made in the USA on open-end 20/1 yarn. The left-chest pocket sets it apart from standard blank tees and makes it a go-to for workwear programs, uniform orders, and industrial accounts where a pocket is part of the spec. Full-cut body runs generous through the torso, shoulder-to-shoulder taping reinforces the seam under load, and double-needle hems on sleeve and bottom lock the edges for repeated laundering.
For decoration, the left-chest pocket is the placement constraint that drives every print decision on this blank. Full-front prints work normally below or around the pocket, but left-chest logos sit on top of the pocket or above it (confirm your client's preference before production). DTF transfers bond cleanly to the 100% cotton open-end surface and handle the pocket seam if the transfer is pressed over it with firm pressure and extra dwell. Screen printing with plastisol takes well on the open-end face for bold spot-colour work; the 20/1 yarn carries slightly more dot gain on fine halftones than a ring-spun blank, so keep artwork bold and pull back trap on small text. Water-based ink absorbs into the cotton well. For embroidery, the 5.4 oz weight holds backing without extra stabilization for left-chest and pocket-top placements, and the pocket itself can be embroidered before assembly on some programs. DTG prints at full vibrancy on white; coloured BA5070 blanks need pre-treatment, and the open-end surface takes pre-treat slightly less evenly than ring-spun cotton.
