Bella + Canvas 3601 - Burnout Tee - White

The Bella + Canvas 3601 is the Unisex Burnout Tee, a lightweight 3.1 oz 55/45 cotton/poly burnout body in a sheer textured jersey with a crew neck, the blank a decorator reaches for when a programme wants a sheer, distressed burnout drape with a fast-fashion feel rather than a solid opaque jersey tee. It is the burnout crew for festival and event merch, boutique and resale lines, music and tour runs, and the group and team orders that buy a soft sheer tee by the dozen. The body is a lightweight 3.1 oz burnout of 55% combed and ring-spun cotton / 45% polyester spun to 36 singles, where the cotton is chemically burned out in a pattern over the polyester base to give the sheer textured drape, cut to a retail fit with a crew neck, a solid rib neck trim, short sleeves, side seams and a tear-away label. The size range runs S through 2XL, in three colours: White, Asphalt and Black, all of them the same sheer burnout body.

The 3601 decorates as a sheer burnout, not a solid jersey, which sets the rules: the burned-out areas are thin and translucent and the cotton sits unevenly across the pattern, so keep art compact and centred on the flatter front body, lead with a soft flexible film, and keep every ink lay light so the print does not stiffen the sheer drape or show heavy backing through the thin ground. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the burnout face and a soft low-bulk flex film moves with the textured ground, the standout and most colour-consistent route that keeps the sheer body light. For DTG, the 55% cotton takes ink but the burnout texture is uneven, so run a light pre-treat and a measured ink lay and expect a soft distressed result that suits the burnout look; favour DTF when a design needs even full coverage. For screen printing with plastisol, the 45% polyester migrates under a hot cure, so run a low-bleed ink and a poly-blocking underbase, keep the deposit light and the cure moderate, and back the sheer panel so it does not distort on the press. For vinyl, a light flexible HTV presses cool so it flexes with the drape; keep the design small and centred. Water-based and discharge inks do not apply, since the burnout removes the cotton unevenly across the pattern and the discharge reads patchy on the part-cotton sheer ground. Embroidery does not apply, since the sheer lightweight 3.1 oz burnout is too thin to embroider without puckering. Sublimation is not a reliable route, since the 45% polyester is not a white substrate and the 55% cotton will not hold disperse dye.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat it as a sheer 55/45 burnout, so default to DTF or a soft flexible film and keep every deposit light so the sheer drape stays soft and the thin burned-out areas do not show heavy backing. Place compact art on the flatter front body, run a poly-blocking underbase and a light deposit on any plastisol for the 45% polyester, and expect DTG to read soft and distressed in keeping with the burnout look. Bella + Canvas holds consistent sizing and burnout construction across runs, which keeps the retail fit and the sheer texture stable reorder to reorder.
