Bella + Canvas 3501YCVC - Youth Heather CVC Long Sleeve Tee - Heather Dark Gray

The Bella + Canvas 3501YCVC is the Youth Heather CVC Long-Sleeve Tee, a 4.2 oz 52% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton / 48% polyester heathered jersey, the youth version of the 3501CVC a decorator reaches for when a long-sleeve program wants a soft, marled heather in a kids' size that fits and prints 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 wants the lived-in heather look of a CVC alongside a unisex 3501CVC in the same design. The body is a soft 4.2 oz CVC jersey at 32 singles with a crew neck, long sleeves finished in ribbed cuffs, side seams, a youth modern fit and a tear-away label. The size range runs S through L (youth), in seven heathers: Heather Navy, Heather Yellow Gold, Heather Mauve, Heather Black, Heather Deep Teal, Heather Dark Gray and Heather Athletic. The CVC heathers are a 52/48 cotton-poly; Heather Athletic is the one exception, a 90% cotton / 10% polyester heather.

The 3501YCVC decorates as a 52/48 CVC heather, so the 48% polyester drives the plan and the long sleeve adds a second print area. The poly content means dye migration is the controlling risk on every colour, the marled heather ground mutes a print so colours read softer than on a flat solid, and the ribbed cuffs are a no-print zone since a print bridges and cracks across the rib. For DTF, the transfer bonds clean at standard heat-press settings across every heather, the most consistent route on this CVC ground and the way most decorators run it. For screen printing with plastisol, run a white poly-blocking low-bleed underbase on every colour and a reduced cure to hold back migration from the polyester, since a hot cure pulls the dye up into the print. For DTG, the CVC face takes the ink with a slightly muted, heathered read, printed with a white underbase to lift opacity over the marled ground, kept controlled so it does not stiffen the soft hand. For embroidery, the 4.2 oz body takes a clean left-chest or modest design over a standard backing, kept off the ribbed cuffs. For vinyl, a stretch HTV presses cleanly at any size, and the long sleeve gives room for a number or name. Water-based and discharge are not a route, since the 48% polyester will not discharge and the ink will not lift cleanly on the CVC ground; the Heather Athletic 90/10 is more cotton-forward but still runs best with a low-bleed approach. Sublimation does not apply, since the bodies are piece-dyed and carry cotton.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat the 3501YCVC as a 52/48 CVC heather, so default to DTF as the universal route across every colour, run a white poly-block low-bleed underbase plus a reduced cure under plastisol on every heather, and print DTG with a white underbase for opacity over the marled ground. Keep print off the ribbed cuffs and use the sleeve for a number or name. Skip water-based and discharge, since the 48% poly will not lift.
