District DT6302 - Women's V.I.T. Gathered Back Tank - Classic Red

The District DT6302 is a Women's V.I.T. Gathered Back Tank built on a 4.3 oz body of 100% combed ring-spun cotton spun to a fine 34 singles. The 34-single yarn count is tighter than the 30 or 32 singles on most competing tanks, which gives the DT6302 a smoother, denser print surface that holds finer halftone detail before ink bleeds into the knit. That yarn density is the practical reason a decorator picks this body over a coarser cotton tank when the artwork calls for detail. The gathered back creates a relaxed drape at the rear while keeping the front panel flat and taut for clean print registration, an uncommon combination in a women's tank. Self-binding finishes the neck and armholes, the curved hem sits cleanly at the hip, and the tear-away label removes for relabeling. The size range runs XS through 4XL. Solid colours (White, Black, Classic Red, New Navy, Deep Royal) are 100% combed ring-spun cotton. The heather and frost colours (Gray Frost, Heather Charcoal, Heather Bright Turquoise) run a 60/40 cotton/poly blend.

The DT6302 decorates cleanly across the front panel thanks to the gathered-back construction that pulls fabric tension rearward and keeps the front flat on the platen. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the smooth 34-singles face at standard heat-press settings and is the most forgiving route across the full colour card including the 60/40 heathers and frost. For screen printing with plastisol, the tight cotton face holds a clean edge and the solid colours need no poly-blocking; the 60/40 heathers and frost carry enough polyester to risk dye migration on saturated colours, so step to a low-bleed underbase and moderate cure on those. For DTG, the combed cotton solids pre-treat and print with bright, clean vibrancy and a soft hand, with a white underbase on Black, New Navy and the deep grounds; the 60/40 heathers mute slightly but still hold a clean graphic. For water-based and discharge inks, the 100% cotton solids discharge to a soft, true tone with an in-the-shirt hand; the 60/40 heathers give only a partial, muted discharge, so route those to plastisol with a poly-blocking underbase. For embroidery, the 4.3 oz body is lightweight, so keep the stitch count moderate with a cut-away stabiliser, and place the design on the front panel where the gathered back does not distort the hoop. For vinyl, a light flexible HTV presses at a controlled temperature. Sublimation does not apply to the cotton body.

The gathered back on this tank is not just a style detail. It pulls fabric tension away from the front panel, so the front sits flatter on a platen than a standard racerback where tension radiates evenly. If your shop runs women's tanks on a smaller platen and struggles with front-panel bunching on racerbacks, the DT6302 solves that mechanically. Cross-shop the District DT6301 Women's Fitted V.I.T. Festival Tank when a program needs a slimmer fitted silhouette without the gathered back, and step across to a Bella + Canvas B6008 Racerback Tank when the order calls for a true racerback in 100% Airlume cotton.
