Description
The Dickies 574 is a 5.25 oz long-sleeve work shirt built on a 65% polyester / 35% cotton twill with a button-front placket, two chest patch pockets (left has a pencil division), and doghouse sleeve plackets with non-break melamine buttons. It carries Dickies' easy-care stain-release finish and moisture-wicking construction, which is the combination that keeps it as the go-to uniform shirt for service trades, maintenance crews, and facilities teams. The 65/35 poly-cotton twill means it wrinkles less and wicks better than a cotton-heavy body, while still having enough cotton content for reasonable ink adhesion on decoratable surfaces.
For decorators, the Dickies 574 is primarily an embroidery substrate. The 5.25 oz twill body is dense enough to carry high-stitch-count chest logos without distortion, and the left chest patch pocket gives a natural frame for a company logo or name tape. Use a cut-away stabiliser behind the embroidery zone because the twill's tight weave can draw up under dense fills if only tear-away is used. Left-chest embroidery (above or adjacent to the pocket) and sleeve embroidery are the cleanest placements. DTF transfer is the most practical print method for the button-front: apply to the upper chest clear of the button placket and pocket so the transfer film does not bridge across structural seams. Screen printing on a button-front work shirt requires platening around the placket, which limits large-format chest prints. Vinyl HTV presses cleanly on the flat twill body at standard shirt settings. The 65% polyester content means dye migration is a real factor on dark or saturated grounds, so any plastisol screen print on coloured 574s needs a full poly-blocking underbase. DTG is not a practical route on the 574: the twill weave is too coarse for reliable pre-treatment absorption and the button placket prevents flat platen loading.

The 574 carries consistent sizing across production runs, which matters for uniform programs that reorder seasonally or add headcount mid-year. The stain-release twill keeps garments presentable through industrial wash cycles without fading the twill color or shrinking the body. For programs mixing long-sleeve and short-sleeve coverage, the Dickies 1574 short-sleeve work shirt uses the same twill construction and color palette, keeping the uniform consistent across sleeve lengths. TheClothingSpace stocks the Dickies 574 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase with case and unit quantities, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colors.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Embroidery | ✓ | Primary method. 5.25 oz twill carries high-stitch-count logos without distortion. Use cut-away stabiliser. Left chest (above/beside pocket) and sleeves are the cleanest placements. |
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | Most practical print method for the button-front. Apply to upper chest clear of button placket and pocket seams so film does not bridge structural seams. |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | 65% polyester requires a full poly-blocking underbase on coloured grounds to control dye migration. Platening around the button placket limits full-front print size. |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | Presses cleanly on flat twill body at standard shirt settings. Keep design clear of button placket and pocket edges. |
| Screen Print (Water-based) | ✗ | 65% polyester content limits water-based ink penetration and discharge effectiveness. Not recommended. |
| DTG | ✗ | Coarse twill weave does not absorb pre-treatment reliably, and the button-front placket prevents flat platen loading. Route to DTF instead. |
| Sublimation | ✗ | 35% cotton content is too high for full sublimation. Only viable on the white colorway with results degraded by the cotton fraction. |

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 |
|---|---|---|
| White | 65/35 poly-cotton twill | Cleanest base for DTF and screen print. No poly-block needed for light artwork. Only colorway where sublimation gives a partial (degraded) result. |
| Light grounds (Khaki, Desert Sand, Silver Gray) | 65/35 poly-cotton twill | Light underbase or no underbase for dark inks. DTF bonds at standard settings. Embroidery carries well. |
| Dark and saturated grounds (Black, Navy, Dark Navy, Charcoal, Olive Green, Hunter Green, Lincoln Green, Dark Brown) | 65/35 poly-cotton twill | 65% poly content means dye migration is a real risk. Any plastisol screen print requires a full poly-blocking underbase and controlled cure temp. Embroidery and DTF are the safer decoration routes. |
