Bella + Canvas 3501Y - Youth Jersey Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Solid White Blend

The Bella + Canvas 3501Y is the Youth Jersey Long-Sleeve Tee, a 4.2 oz 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton long-sleeve in a smooth retail-fit jersey, the youth version of the 3501 a decorator reaches for when a long-sleeve program needs a kids' size that prints and fits like the adult body in the same artwork. It is the long-sleeve for school spirit and team runs, youth retail and boutique lines, fall and winter merch, family matching sets and any decorated batch that needs a youth long-sleeve to sit next to a unisex 3501 in the same design. The body is a smooth 4.2 oz jersey of 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton at 32 singles on the solids, with a crew neck, long sleeves finished in ribbed cuffs, side seams, a retail fit and a tear-away label. The size range runs S through L (youth), in eight colours: White, Black, Natural, Red, Navy, True Royal, and two blend colourways, Solid White Blend and Solid Black Blend. The six solids are 100% cotton; the two blend colourways carry polyester, the one exception that changes the print plan.

The 3501Y decorates as a smooth 100% cotton jersey on the solids, the easiest substrate Bella makes, with the long sleeve adding a second print area to plan. The full front and back panel take a clean, detailed print, the ribbed cuffs are a no-print zone since a print bridges and cracks across the rib, and the sleeve gives room for a wrap or a vertical sleeve hit. For DTG, the smooth Airlume face is a standout, taking the ink sharp and opaque with fine halftone and gradient detail held cleanly, with a white underbase on the dark solids; the two blend colourways carry poly, so add a white underbase and lead with opaque on those. For water-based and discharge inks, the 100% cotton solids take a soft, no-feel print with a genuine vintage hand, the best route on the lighter solids; the blend colourways will not discharge, since the poly will not lift, so stay with a low-bleed underbase there. For screen printing with plastisol, the 100% cotton solids print crisp with no poly-blocking underbase; the two blend colourways want a poly-block low-bleed underbase to hold back migration from the poly. For DTF, a soft transfer presses clean across every colour and is the simplest route for full-colour art and mixed batches. For vinyl, a stretch HTV holds on the jersey at any size. For embroidery, the 4.2 oz body takes a clean left-chest or full design over a standard backing. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton-dominant body will not hold disperse dye.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat the 3501Y as a smooth 100% cotton jersey on the solids, so DTG runs as a standout and water-based and discharge land a genuine vintage hand with no poly-block, while plastisol prints crisp with no underbase. Keep print off the ribbed cuffs, and use the sleeve for a wrap or vertical hit. On the two blend colourways add a white or poly-block underbase and skip discharge, since the poly will not lift.
