Bella + Canvas B7503 - Women's Cropped Fleece Crew - Navy

The Bella + Canvas B7503 is the Women's Cropped Fleece Crew, an 8.0 oz 52% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton / 48% polyester sponge fleece crewneck cut short with a dropped shoulder and a raw bottom hem, the cropped fleece a decorator reaches for when a women's program needs a trend-cut crew that prints like the rest of the sponge fleece family. It is the sweatshirt for women's retail and boutique lines, gym and athleisure merch, college and sorority runs, fall and winter drops and any decorated batch that wants a cropped crew to sit alongside a full-length fleece in the same artwork. The body is a soft 8.0 oz sponge fleece of 52% Airlume cotton with 48% polyester at 32 singles, with a crew neck, a dropped shoulder, 1x1 ribbed cuffs, a raw unfinished bottom hem, side seams, a cropped women's fit and a tear-away label. The size range runs S through 2XL, in seven colours: Dusty Blue, Brick, Mauve, Black, Navy, Yellow and the heather Heather Deep, the six solids a poly-heavy 52/48 sponge fleece and Heather Deep a 60/40 cotton-heavy heather.

The B7503 decorates as a poly-heavy 52/48 sponge fleece, so dye migration from the 48% polyester is the controlling risk on the solids, and the cropped body shapes the layout. The crop runs the front panel short, so centre-chest art sits compact and placed higher on the body, clear of the raw bottom hem, and the 1x1 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 the solids and the heather, 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 8.0 oz fleece holds a dense stitch cleanly, a strong route for a left-chest mark or a compact front design over a standard backing, kept off the ribbed cuffs and the raw hem. For vinyl, a stretch HTV presses cleanly at any size on the fleece face. Water-based and discharge are not a route on the solids, 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 B7503 as a poly-heavy 52/48 sponge fleece, so default to DTF as the universal route across the solids and the heather, 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. Keep centre-chest art compact and placed higher on the cropped body, clear of the raw bottom hem and off the ribbed cuffs. Skip water-based and discharge on the solids, since the 48% poly will not lift either.
