Bella + Canvas 3901Y - Youth Sponge Fleece Raglan Sweatshirt - Heather Forest

The Bella + Canvas 3901Y is the Youth Sponge Fleece Raglan Sweatshirt, a 7.0 oz 52% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton / 48% polyester sponge fleece crewneck cut with raglan sleeves, the youth version of the 3901 a decorator reaches for when a fleece program needs a kids' size that fits and prints like the adult body in the same artwork. It is the sweatshirt 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 raglan crew to sit next to a unisex 3901 in the same design. The body is a soft 7.0 oz sponge fleece of 52% Airlume cotton with 48% polyester at 32 singles, with a crew neck, raglan sleeves, 1x1 ribbed cuffs and waistband, side seams, a youth retail fit and a tear-away label. The size range runs S through L (youth), in eight colours: Black, Red, Mauve, and the heathers Heather Navy, Heather Athletic, Heather Dark Gray, Heather Deep and Heather Forest, every colourway a poly-heavy 52/48 sponge fleece so the line prints consistently across the range.

The 3901Y decorates as a poly-heavy 52/48 sponge fleece, so dye migration from the 48% polyester is the controlling risk on every colourway, and the raglan cut shapes the layout. The raglan seam runs diagonally from the neckline to the underarm, so a centre-chest design sits below the shoulder seams rather than crossing them, and the 1x1 ribbed cuffs and waistband are no-print zones since a print bridges and cracks across the rib. For DTF, the transfer bonds clean at standard heat-press settings across the solids and the heathers, the most consistent, universal route on this poly-cotton fleece and the way most decorators run it. For screen printing with plastisol, run a 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, print with a white underbase and a low cure, keeping the deposit controlled, since the 48% poly will migrate into a heavy direct print on the soft fleece. For embroidery, the heavyweight 7.0 oz fleece holds a dense stitch cleanly, a strong route for a left-chest mark or a larger design over a standard backing, kept off the ribbed cuffs and waistband. For vinyl, a stretch HTV presses cleanly at any size. Water-based and discharge are not a route, since the 48% polyester will not discharge and the ink will not lift on the poly-heavy ground. Sublimation does not apply, since the bodies are piece-dyed and carry cotton.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat the 3901Y as a poly-heavy 52/48 sponge fleece, so default to DTF as the universal route across the solids and heathers, run a poly-block low-bleed underbase plus a reduced cure under plastisol, and print DTG with a white underbase and a low cure to hold back migration. Place centre-chest art below the raglan seams and keep print off the ribbed cuffs and waistband. Skip water-based and discharge, since the 48% poly will not lift either.
