Description
The Bella + Canvas 3006 is the Men's Long Body Urban T-Shirt, a 4.2 oz Airlume cotton tee built on an elongated body with a rounded drop-tail hem, the blank a decorator reaches for when a program wants a longer streetwear-length tee rather than a standard-length crew. It is the long-body tee for streetwear and resale lines, music and merch drops, boutique print-on-demand and the group and event runs that want the extended urban length by the dozen. The body is 4.2 oz of 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton at 32 singles in the solid colours, side-seamed with a longer torso, a rounded drop-tail bottom hem and a tear-away label, pre-shrunk to hold its length through wash. The size range runs S through 3XL, in six colours: White, Black, Navy and the heathers Heather Stone, Heather Dark Gray and Heather Olive; the solid colours are 100% Airlume cotton, while the three heathers are a 52% cotton / 48% polyester blend that gives the heathered look.
The 3006 decorates as a cotton-majority retail tee, so the full cotton method list is open, with one split to watch: the solid colours are 100% Airlume cotton and the heathers are a near-half-polyester 52/48 blend, so the underbase and pre-treatment differ between the two. For DTG, the solid 100% cotton colours are the standout, since the fine Airlume face holds photoreal detail with less ink; white prints at full vibrancy without pre-treatment on most machines, coloured solids take standard pre-treatment, and the 52/48 heathers read a touch muted so favour the solids for the cleanest DTG. For DTF, the tight Airlume weave bonds well with transfer adhesives and holds clean edge definition across the whole colour range, the most colour-consistent route over the cotton and the heathers alike. For screen printing with plastisol, the lightweight 4.2 oz body wants slightly reduced squeegee pressure, and the 52/48 heathers need a poly-blocking underbase and a moderate cure to control dye migration on dark prints. For water-based and discharge, the 100% cotton solids discharge and absorb water-based ink well for a soft hand, but the 52/48 heathers limit discharge so reserve that route for the solids. For embroidery, back high-stitch-count front placements with a topping stabiliser so the stitches do not sink into the lighter 4.2 oz weave. For vinyl, a standard HTV presses cleanly at standard time and temperature. Sublimation does not apply, since the 100% cotton solids are not a sublimation substrate and only the 52/48 heathers would take a faded result.

The reorder note specific to this style: confirm whether your colourway is a solid 100% cotton or a 52/48 heather before a repeat run, because the underbase and pre-treatment differ between the two; default to DTG on the solids and DTF for colour consistency across the full range. Bella + Canvas holds consistent length and Airlume construction across runs, which keeps the extended drop-tail body stable reorder to reorder. Cross-shop the Bella + Canvas 3001C Unisex Jersey Tee for a standard-length retail tee in the same Airlume cotton, and the Gildan G500 Heavy Cotton Tee when a heavier budget blank decides the order.

How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |

| DTG | ✓ | the solid 100% cotton colours are the standout; the fine Airlume face holds photoreal detail with less ink, white prints at full vibrancy without pre-treatment, coloured solids pre-treat, and the 52/48 heathers read a touch muted |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | the lightweight 4.2 oz body wants slightly reduced squeegee pressure; poly-block the 52/48 heathers and hold a moderate cure to control dye migration on dark prints |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✓ | the 100% cotton solids discharge and absorb water-based ink well for a soft hand; the 52/48 heathers limit discharge, so reserve that route for the solid colours |

| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | a standard HTV presses cleanly at standard time and temperature on the cotton-majority body |

Fabric Blend by Color Group
Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.
| Color Group | Blend | Print Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Solid colours (White, Black, Navy) | 100% Airlume combed ring-spun cotton, 4.2 oz, 32 singles | Standard cotton ink and pre-treat settings; the solids are the DTG standout and discharge cleanly for a soft hand |
| Heather colours (Heather Stone, Heather Dark Gray, Heather Olive) | 52% cotton / 48% polyester, 4.2 oz | Nearly half polyester, so poly-block on dark prints, hold a moderate cure, reserve discharge for the solids, and pre-treat for DTG |
