Description
The ComfortWash GDH100 is the garment-dyed short-sleeve tee from Hanes' ComfortWash line, a 5.5 oz 100% ring-spun cotton body that arrives soft and broken in rather than stiff off the roll. The dye is the point: every colour is garment-dyed and enzyme-washed, which gives the lived-in, faded-vintage hand and the slightly washed, tonal colour that a standard piece-dyed tee cannot fake, finished with a ribbed set-in collar and double-needle coverstitching so it reads as a retail fashion blank. That makes it the tee a shop reaches for when a job wants the garment-dyed look at a lighter weight and a lower price than the heavyweight Comfort Colors benchmark, the default for boutique and retail drops, festival and merch runs, coastal and outdoor brands, and any program where a soft washed-cotton hand and a vintage dye finish decide the order over a flat, bright basic tee.
The GDH100 prints like a true 100% ring-spun cotton tee, and the ComfortWash dye process is engineered to minimise the dye migration and crocking that plague cheaper pigment-dyed garments, so prints sit cleaner on it than on a bargain garment-dyed blank. For screen printing, the smooth ring-spun face holds fine line detail and bold spot colour; print straight to the lighter washed colours and lay a white underbase on the deep pigment colours for opacity. For water-based and discharge, the 100% cotton body discharges to a soft tonal print that plays directly into the washed, vintage aesthetic this blank is built for, one of the best matches of method to garment in the catalogue. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the cotton face at standard heat-press settings across every colour, the most consistent single method on the full washed range. For DTG, the ring-spun cotton pre-treats and prints bright and sharp, and the low-migration dye means less pigment bleeding up into a white ink than a typical garment-dyed tee. For embroidery, the 5.5 oz body is a stable base for a left-chest design with a cut-away backing. For vinyl and HTV, solid heat-transfer vinyl presses clean on the washed cotton face. Sublimation does not apply, since 100% cotton is not a polyester sublimation substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: garment dyeing runs in lots, so a washed pigment colour can shift slightly from one dye lot to the next, which is part of the look but matters for an exact-match reorder, so order the full quantity of a colour in one run when a job needs every piece to match. The ComfortWash low-migration process holds colour better than a budget garment-dyed tee, but still wash with like colours on the first cycle. Pair the GDH100 with the heavier 6.1 oz Comfort Colors C1717 when a program wants the classic heavyweight garment-dyed body, and cross-shop the Comfort Colors 6030CC when a job wants a garment-dyed tee with a chest pocket. TheClothingSpace stocks the GDH100 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 colours.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Light and pastel washed colours | 100% ring-spun cotton, light pigment dye | Print straight with the brightest result; minimal underbase needed and the cleanest discharge and DTG |
| Mid-tone washed colours | 100% ring-spun cotton, mid pigment dye | Standard settings; a thin underbase lifts opacity on bolder spot colours and discharge reads as a soft tonal |
| Deep and dark pigment colours (Black, Garnet, Ocean Depths) | 100% ring-spun cotton, deep pigment dye | Lay a white underbase for opacity; the low-migration ComfortWash dye limits crocking but wash with like colours on the first cycle |
