Bella + Canvas 3802 - Five-Button Jersey Sport Shirt - Heather Navy

The Bella + Canvas 3802 is the Five-Button Jersey Sport Shirt, a lightweight 3.8 oz 55/45 cotton/poly CVC jersey polo with a tonal five-button placket and a collar, the blank a decorator reaches for when a programme wants a soft retail-cut jersey polo with a longer button run rather than a heavy piqué polo or a crew tee. It is the sport shirt for corporate and staff uniforms, hospitality and service programmes, golf and club outings, and the team and event runs that buy a soft branded polo by the dozen. The body is a lightweight 3.8 oz of 55% combed and ring-spun cotton / 45% polyester spun to 36 singles, built to a retail fit with a tonal five-button placket, a collar, short sleeves, side seams and a tear-away label. The size range runs S through 2XL, in two colours: White, a 55/45 CVC solid, and Heather Navy, which carries the same family in a 52/48 cotton/poly heather.

The 3802 decorates as a soft CVC jersey polo, not a flat tee, which sets the rules: the button placket and collar break up the upper front, so the standard placement is a left-chest hit clear of the placket and collar, and the 45% polyester migrates under heat, so treat it as a poly-blend ground. For embroidery, the jersey polo takes a left-chest logo on a cut-away stabiliser that controls the lightweight jersey stretch, the route that reads premium on a corporate sport shirt. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the CVC face and presses clean for a left-chest or back graphic across both colours, the most colour-consistent route. For DTG, the 55% cotton takes ink, so run the poly-blend pre-treat and a measured ink lay and expect a slightly muted result on the CVC, with the Heather Navy reading a touch more heathered. For screen printing with plastisol, the 45% polyester migrates under a hot cure, so run a low-bleed ink and a poly-blocking underbase on the heather, keep the deposit standard and the cure moderate, and register a left-chest mark clear of the placket. For vinyl, a flexible HTV presses for names and numbers and flexes with the jersey. Water-based and discharge inks do not apply, since the 45% polyester limits how much dye discharge can strip, so the result reads patchy on the CVC ground. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton-majority CVC is not a white polyester base and the 55% cotton will not hold disperse dye.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat it as a soft CVC jersey polo, so default to a left-chest embroidery on a cut-away stabiliser or a DTF graphic, and run a poly-blocking underbase under any plastisol because of the 45% polyester. Keep the placement a left-chest mark clear of the five-button placket and collar, and expect DTG to read slightly muted on the CVC, more so on the Heather Navy. Bella + Canvas holds consistent sizing and jersey-polo construction across runs, which keeps the retail fit stable reorder to reorder.
