Description
The Bella + Canvas 3501CVC is the Unisex Jersey CVC Long-Sleeve T-Shirt, the heathered version of the 3501 long sleeve, a 4.2 oz 52/48 Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton/polyester CVC tee whose soft melange face is the reason a decorator picks it over a flat solid long sleeve. The CVC construction marls a combed cotton with a fine polyester so every colour on the card reads as a soft retail heather rather than a flat solid, and the Airlume combed yarn keeps the face smooth enough to take a clean print. It is the blank a shop reaches for when a brand drop, boutique line or premium event run needs a soft heathered long sleeve that already looks broken-in, the default for retail-tier merch and decorators who want a heather long sleeve that matches the 3001CVC crew on the same Bella system. The body runs a retail side-seamed fit in XS-4XL with ribbed cuffs, and the heathered surface gives prints a soft, slightly vintage character.
The 52/48 CVC body sets the decoration plan, and the 48% polyester is the part that changes it. DTF presses consistently across the whole heathered card and is the most reliable single method on the 3501CVC, the first choice when one artwork has to span the light and dark heather shades. Screen printing works well with the right setup: run a white underbase on every colour to keep the ink opaque over the melange, add a poly-block underbase on the dark heathers to stop the 48% polyester from migrating into the print, and keep the cure at the lowest effective temperature. DTG prints onto the CVC with a soft, slightly muted vintage character rather than the bright pop it gives on 100% cotton, brightest on the Solid White Blend and the cotton-rich 90/10 shades, which suits soft-hand art but routes saturated full-colour work to DTF. Embroidery runs well on the smooth Airlume CVC face with a cut-away backing for a left-chest or sleeve logo. Vinyl and HTV bond cleanly for names and numbers on a small run. Discharge does not apply, since the 48% polyester will not strip to a clean white and leaves a muddy, uneven knockout, so route to a white-underbase screen print or DTF. Sublimation does not apply either, since the heathered CVC is not a clean light-poly ground for the dye.

The reorder note specific to this style: every 3501CVC colour is a heather, so plan for the print to read with a soft, slightly vintage character on every shade, and confirm your colourway across dye lots since heathered CVC blends can shift run to run. The 3501CVC shares the retail fit and ribbed-cuff long-sleeve body with the 100% cotton 3501, so a program can step between a flat cotton solid and a soft heather on the same cut, and the 3001CVC crew extends the same heather card to a short-sleeve crew for a matched set. The Airlume CVC face keeps the 3501CVC in retail-fashion territory rather than a basic promo long sleeve. TheClothingSpace stocks the 3501CVC at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTF | ✓ | presses consistently across the whole heathered card and is the most reliable single method on the CVC; the first choice when one artwork has to span the light and dark heather shades |
| Screen Print | ✓ | run a white underbase on every colour to keep the ink opaque over the melange, add a poly-block underbase on the dark heathers to stop the 48% polyester migrating, and keep the cure at the lowest effective temperature |
| DTG | ✓ | prints with a soft, slightly muted vintage character rather than the bright pop it gives on 100% cotton, brightest on the Solid White Blend and the cotton-rich 90/10 shades; route saturated full-colour work to DTF |
| Embroidery | ✓ | runs well on the smooth Airlume CVC face with a cut-away backing for a left-chest or sleeve logo; the 4.2 oz body holds a moderate stitch count |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | bonds cleanly for names and numbers on a small team or event run; the smooth face presses without texture |
| Discharge | ✗ | the 48% polyester will not strip to a clean white and leaves a muddy, uneven knockout, so route to a white-underbase screen print or to DTF |
| Sublimation | ✗ | the heathered CVC is not a clean light-poly ground for the dye, so this is not a dye-sublimation substrate; route to a 100% polyester long sleeve for dye-sub |

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 White Blend, Solid Black Blend, Heather Athletic and Heather Black | 90/10 cotton/polyester | The cotton-rich tier: DTG reads brightest here, screen print holds clean over a single white underbase, and DTF presses true |
| Mid heathers (Heather Natural, Heather Stone, Heather Dusty Blue, Heather French Vanilla, Heather Mustard, Heather Peach, Heather Mauve, Heather Clay) | 52/48 Airlume cotton/poly CVC | Run a white underbase to keep colours opaque over the melange and expect DTF to be the most consistent across this tier |
| Dark heathers (Heather Navy, Heather Forest, Heather Maroon, Heather Red, Heather Cardinal, Heather Deep, Heather Black, Heather Military Green) | 52/48 Airlume cotton/poly CVC | The heaviest-migration tier: white poly-block underbase plus the lowest effective cure, or press DTF; DTG reads muted and vintage here |
