Bayside BA5100 - Unisex 100% Cotton T-Shirt - Denim

The Bayside BA5100 is a 6.1 oz 100% preshrunk cotton heavyweight tee, and the line on the label that decides the order is where it is made: the cotton is American grown and the shirt is cut and sewn in the USA, so it is the blank a shop reaches for when a job carries a domestic-content requirement rather than an import basic. It is the workhorse tee for Made-in-USA brand programs, union and government runs that specify domestic sourcing, durable event and workwear printing, and any decorator who wants a heavier, fuller-cut hand and a US supply chain behind it instead of the lightest import blank on the shelf. The body is a 6.1 oz 100% preshrunk American-made cotton built to a full-cut classic silhouette, with taped shoulder-to-shoulder seams for a stable neckline and double-needle sleeve and bottom hems that take a wash without rolling. The size range runs S through 6XL, a deeper big-and-tall reach than most import basics carry, in 32 solid pigment colours from White and Natural through to Black, all of them the same 100% cotton body.

The BA5100 prints like a true heavyweight 100% cotton tee, which keeps the method list wide open. For screen printing, the dense 6.1 oz ring face holds fine line detail and a heavy spot-colour deposit; print straight to White and the light pigment colours and lay a white underbase on the deep and dark shades for opacity. For water-based and discharge, the 100% cotton body discharges to a soft, broken-in print with no plastisol hand, the route to chase when a Made-in-USA program wants a premium soft-hand finish on a heavyweight body. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the cotton face at standard heat-press settings across every colour, the most consistent single method on the full colour card. For DTG, the preshrunk cotton pre-treats and prints bright and sharp, and the 6.1 oz body gives a stable, opaque base under a white underbase. For embroidery, the heavyweight body is one of the more stable bases in the catalogue for a dense left-chest or full-back design with a cut-away backing. For vinyl and HTV, solid heat-transfer vinyl presses clean on the cotton face for names and numbers on a team or roster run. Sublimation does not apply, since 100% cotton is not a polyester sublimation substrate; route all-over dye-based art to a poly blank instead.

The reorder note specific to this style: the BA5100 is preshrunk and holds a stable size run wash to wash, and the US supply chain keeps the colour card and construction consistent reorder to reorder, which matters on a multi-year program tee. Treat it as a heavyweight 100% cotton blank, so default to a white underbase on the dark colours for screen and DTG opacity, and reach for discharge when a program wants a soft hand on the heavyweight body. Cross-shop the American Apparel 2001 when a USA-made program wants a lighter 4.3 oz fashion-fit fine jersey instead of the full-cut heavyweight, and the Gildan G500 when price is the deciding factor and a domestic-content requirement does not apply.
