Description

The Comfort Colors CC1745 is a 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun USA cotton heavyweight tee built on the same garment-dye platform as the C1717 but taken further with the Color Blast process. Comfort Colors applies the Color Blast technique after garment construction: each piece is pigment-dyed so the color lands differently on every shirt, producing tonal variation, soft wash marks, and graduated shading that no two garments share. The blank is pre-shrunk, soft-washed, and cut in a relaxed unisex fit. It is the right substrate for a shop printing a small-run specialty program where every shirt being slightly different is the product, not a quality issue. A print shop running matched uniforms or reorder-critical merchandise should reach for the standard C1717 instead.

For DTF, the 100% ring-spun cotton surface bonds well with transfer adhesives at standard heat-press settings, and the soft-washed hand remains after pressing. For screen printing, the Color Blast pigment-dyed surface accepts water-based and discharge inks with a vintage worn-in result; use a full underbase on mid and dark grounds because the dyed cotton base is absorbent and the tonal variation across the shirt can cause uneven ink holdout on the first pass. Plastisol prints cleanly on the heavyweight 6.1 oz body, which holds registration on the platen without distortion. For DTG, the 100% ring-spun cotton pre-treats and accepts full-detail prints; test pre-treat coverage on darker Color Blast grounds since the washed surface absorbs pre-treatment at a different rate than a standard piece-dyed tee. For embroidery, the 6.1 oz weight provides a stable substrate at left-chest and sleeve placements. For vinyl and HTV, the preshrunk cotton surface holds adhesion at standard time-and-temperature settings.

  • Ordering: Available by the piece or by the case; no fixed minimum per case.

The Color Blast uniqueness is a feature shops must communicate to their customer before the order, not after. Each CC1745 from the same box will carry the same base colorway but different tonal distribution, wash marks, and shading intensity. Comfort Colors states the manufacturer does not guarantee color consistency between individual garments, which makes this blank unsuitable for matched uniform runs where the end-user will be comparing shirts side by side. For screen-printed event merch, limited-edition drops, or boutique resale programs where the variation is desirable, it is a strong wholesale blank at a price point that supports case-quantity ordering. TheClothingSpace stocks the CC1745 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colorways.

Fabric Blend by Color Group

Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.

Color Group Blend Print Consideration
All Color Blast colorways 100% ring-spun USA cotton (Color Blast pigment-dyed) Each garment is individually unique; the same colorway will vary in tonal distribution and shading across shirts in the same order. Use a full underbase on mid and dark grounds. Do not plan for matched or reorder-identical appearance.
Darker Color Blast grounds (Fiji Blue, Ocean, Amethyst, Umber, Hibiscus) 100% ring-spun USA cotton (Color Blast pigment-dyed) Apply a full white underbase for screen printing and plastisol; test DTG pre-treat absorption on the soft-washed surface before production
Lighter Color Blast grounds (Sea Glass, Fern, Citrine, Clay, Smoke) 100% ring-spun USA cotton (Color Blast pigment-dyed) Water-based and discharge inks suit the absorbent cotton base with a soft vintage result; tonal variation creates a naturally graduated print appearance

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, with one important planning note. The CC1745's 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton body holds registration on the platen without distortion. Water-based and discharge inks suit the soft-washed garment-dyed surface well, producing a vintage worn-in result. Apply a full white underbase on mid and dark Color Blast grounds because the tonal variation across each garment can cause uneven ink holdout on the first pass. Plastisol also prints cleanly with an underbase.
Color Blast is a pigment dye technique Comfort Colors applies individually to each garment after construction. The result is that every shirt in the same colorway carries different tonal distribution, graduated shading, and soft wash marks. Comfort Colors states the manufacturer does not guarantee color consistency between individual garments. This makes the CC1745 the right blank for specialty drops and boutique programs where variation is the point, and the wrong blank for matched uniform runs where shirts will be compared side by side.
The Comfort Colors CC1745 is 6.1 oz/yd2, 100% ring-spun USA cotton, Color Blast pigment garment-dyed and soft-washed, and pre-shrunk. It uses a relaxed unisex tubular body with twill-taped neck and shoulders, and double-needle stitching at the collar, armholes, sleeves, and bottom hem. Sizes run S to 3XL. Made with sustainably and fairly grown USA cotton, sewn with USA cotton thread.
Yes to both. For DTF, the 100% ring-spun cotton surface bonds well with transfer adhesives at standard heat-press settings. For DTG, the ring-spun cotton pre-treats and accepts full-detail prints; test pre-treat coverage on darker Color Blast grounds first, because the soft-washed pigment-dyed surface absorbs pre-treatment at a different rate than a standard piece-dyed tee. The tonal variation in Color Blast grounds can produce a naturally graduated print appearance on DTG output.
Both use the same 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun USA cotton body with a garment-dye process. The difference is the Color Blast step applied to the CC1745, which produces intentional per-garment tonal variation that the standard C1717 does not have. The C1717 still varies between dye lots but is more consistent garment to garment within a run. The CC1745 carries a higher per-unit price and a narrow 10-color range versus the C1717's 80-plus colors. Use the C1717 for volume programs needing more consistent appearance; use the CC1745 for specialty runs where each piece is intended to look unique.
Yes. TheClothingSpace stocks the CC1745 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style. Stocked colorways ship fast within the US. Because each Color Blast garment is individually unique and Comfort Colors does not guarantee consistency across orders, plan your full quantity in a single order rather than splitting across multiple shipments.
