Description
The Fruit of the Loom 3931 is the HD Cotton tee, a 5.0 oz 100% cotton preshrunk jersey value blank built on Fruit of the Loom's high-density yarn for a smoother, tighter print surface than a typical budget tee. It is the blank a shop reaches for when a job needs the lowest cotton unit cost but still a clean canvas, which makes it the default for school spirit and event runs, giveaway and promo tees, bulk fundraiser orders, and any high-volume screen-print program where price per piece is the deciding factor and the high-density face keeps the print sharp.
The thing to plan for on the 3931 is the blend map, which is wider and jumps harder than a Gildan value tee. Solid colours are 100% cotton, Ash is 98/2, Athletic Heather is 90/10, Graphite Heather is 70/30, and Black Heather, the Neons, the Retro Heathers, and the Safety colours all jump to 50/50 cotton/polyester, so one artwork can land on a 100% cotton solid and a 50/50 Safety colour in the same order on two very different substrates. For screen printing, the HD high-density yarn carries bold spot colour and heavy ink with crisp edges and the preshrunk knit sits flat; on the 50/50 Safety, Neon, and Black Heather colours lay a grey poly-blocking underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature to stop the polyester dye from migrating into the ink. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the cotton at standard heat-press settings; on the 50/50 colours use a low-bleed film and a controlled press temperature. For DTG, the 100% cotton solids pre-treat and print with good cotton-ink vibrancy, so favour the solids over the 50/50 colours, which migrate and print muted. For water-based and discharge, the 100% cotton solids discharge cleanly while the polyester in the 50/50 colours will not. For embroidery, the 5.0 oz body is a stable base for a left-chest design with a cut-away backing. The high-density yarn runs a little tighter than an open-end value tee, which is what keeps the print edge clean on bold artwork.

The reorder note specific to this style: confirm whether your colour is a 100% cotton solid, a 98/2 Ash, a 90/10 or 70/30 heather, or a 50/50 Safety, Neon, Retro Heather, or Black Heather before a repeat run, because the substrate changes your underbase, cure, and DTG decision. Pair the 3931 with the Gildan G500 when a program wants to cross-shop value cotton tees, and step up to the ring-spun Gildan Softstyle 64000 when a job needs fine halftone detail rather than the lowest price.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Solid colours | 100% cotton preshrunk jersey (Ash 98/2) | Standard ink and pre-treat settings; best cotton-ink DTG vibrancy and full discharge, HD yarn holds a crisp edge |
| Athletic Heather and Graphite Heather | 90/10 and 70/30 cotton/polyester | Cotton-rich heathers; a light to moderate poly-block underbase covers the migration and discharge is partial |
| Black Heather, Neon, Retro Heather and Safety colours | 50/50 cotton/polyester | Highest migration; lay a grey poly-block underbase, cure low, and note discharge is limited by the polyester |
