Bella + Canvas 3501 - Unisex Jersey Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Forest

The Bella + Canvas 3501 is the Unisex Jersey Long Sleeve Tee, the long-sleeve cut of the 3001 in the same 4.2 oz 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, a premium retail-fit fashion blank rather than a boxy basic. The Airlume yarn is combed twice to strip the short fibres, which gives a smooth, dense 32-singles knit that takes a print cleaner and reads softer than a standard ring-spun long sleeve. That makes it the long sleeve a shop reaches for when a program runs the 3001 short-sleeve and wants the matching sleeve length in the same body and colour, the default for boutique and retail drops, fashion and music merch, and any premium long-sleeve job where a soft hand and a clean print face decide the order over a heavier value tee.

The 3501 prints like a true premium ring-spun cotton tee, which is its advantage, and the long sleeve adds print real estate the short sleeve does not have. For screen printing, the smooth Airlume face holds fine line detail and bold spot colour; print straight to the light solids and lay a white underbase on darks for opacity, and the full-length sleeve opens up a sleeve-cuff or down-the-arm print, kept clear of the ribbed cuff which is a finished edge rather than print area. For water-based and discharge, the 100% Airlume solids are a premium substrate: discharge strips the dye and lays the ink into the cotton for a soft, no-hand vintage print, the look this blank is built for. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the cotton face at standard heat-press settings across every colour. For DTG, the combed ring-spun Airlume cotton is one of the best canvases in the trade and prints bright, sharp detail on the solids. For embroidery, the 4.2 oz body is light, so use a cut-away backing and a moderate-density left-chest or sleeve design so a dense fill does not pull on the lightweight knit. The one caveat is the heathers: Ash is a 99/1 and Athletic Heather a 90/10 that both behave close to a solid, but the other heathers and marble colours carry more polyester, so treat those like a blend with an underbase on darks and a lower cure. Sublimation does not apply, since 100% cotton is not a polyester sublimation substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: the solids run a true 100% Airlume cotton while Ash is a 99/1, Athletic Heather a 90/10, and the other heathers and marbles carry more polyester, so confirm whether your colour is a solid or a heather before a repeat run, because the poly-rich colours will not discharge to the same soft result as the solids. Pair the 3501 with the matching short-sleeve Bella + Canvas 3001 when a program runs both sleeve lengths in one colour family, and cross-shop the heavier Gildan G240 Ultra Cotton when a job wants a value 100% cotton long sleeve at a lower price than the premium Airlume.
