Description
The Fruit of the Loom IC47WR is the Women's ICONIC Ring-Spun T-Shirt, a 4.6 oz women's tee built for decorated programs that need a heavier, more durable ring-spun body at a competitive wholesale price point. At 4.6 oz and 30 singles, the IC47WR is a fuller-bodied women's tee than the lightweight 4.2 oz retail jerseys, and that extra fabric density is the reason a shop running school spirit shirts, event merchandise, or women's workwear blanks reaches for this style. The side-seamed classic fit holds shape through a commercial wash cycle, the seamless 1x1 rib collar is coverstitched at the front neck so it lies flat on the platen, the quarter-turn construction eliminates the centre crease through a screen press run, and the shoulder-to-shoulder taping keeps the seam from walking during DTF and heat-press work. Sizes run S through 3XL and the tear-away label finishes the garment for decorated resale.
The IC47WR decorates cleanly across the primary methods, and the 4.6 oz ring-spun cotton body at 30 singles is the construction detail that matters most for a decorator. For DTF, the ring-spun cotton face bonds at standard heat-press settings with a soft, flexible film that moves with the garment, and the DTF route is the most forgiving across all 14 colours in the range, including the various heather blends. For screen printing with plastisol, the 4.6 oz jersey carries a full ink deposit without the nap migration you get on fleece, holds a white underbase under light inks on the dark grounds without bleed, and the quarter-turned construction keeps the platen seam clear of the print area. For DTG, the solid ring-spun cotton colours pre-treat cleanly and print with good vibrancy; use a white underbase on Black Ink, J Navy, and the deep grounds. The 60/40 cotton/poly heather colours (Charcoal Heather, Black Ink Heather, Retro Heather Purple) carry enough polyester to ghost with an uncured plastisol press, so use a low-bleed underbase and a moderate cure temperature on those shades. For embroidery, the 4.6 oz ring-spun body holds a moderate left-chest or full-back design without distortion; use a cut-away backing to keep the stitch registration firm through the wash. For vinyl and HTV, the cotton jersey accepts heat transfer at standard HTV settings, and the quarter-turn eliminates the centre crease that can interfere with a full-front transfer placement. Sublimation does not apply, since the IC47WR is a cotton-majority substrate across the full colour range.

The reorder note for the IC47WR: the 60/40 cotton/poly heather colours (Charcoal Heather, Black Ink Heather, Retro Heather Purple) share one dye-lot behaviour, the 99/1 heathers (Aqua Velvet Heather, Candy Hearts Heather, Mint To Be Heather) behave like cotton solids. If your program mixes heather shades, confirm the blend per colour before setting your decoration parameters, since a 60/40 body and a 99/1 body require different underbase and cure settings on the same press run.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | the ring-spun cotton face bonds at standard heat-press settings across all 14 colours including the heather blends; the most forgiving decoration route across the full IC47WR colour card |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | the 4.6 oz ring-spun jersey carries a full ink deposit without bleed; use a white underbase on dark grounds; 60/40 heather colours (Charcoal Heather, Black Ink Heather, Retro Heather Purple) require a low-bleed underbase and moderate cure to prevent ghost migration |
| DTG | ✓ | ring-spun cotton solids pre-treat cleanly with good vibrancy; use a white underbase on Black Ink, J Navy and deep grounds; 60/40 heather colours produce a more muted result, favour DTF on those shades |
| Embroidery | ✓ | the 4.6 oz ring-spun body holds a moderate left-chest or full-back design without distortion; use a cut-away backing to keep stitch registration firm through the wash |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | the cotton jersey accepts standard HTV heat settings; the quarter-turn construction eliminates the centre crease that can interfere with full-front transfer placement |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✓ | solid 100% cotton and 99/1 colours discharge cleanly for a soft in-the-shirt hand; 60/40 heather colours will not discharge fully, use plastisol with poly-block on those shades |
| Sublimation | ✗ | the IC47WR is a cotton-majority substrate across the full colour range; sublimation requires a white polyester base and does not apply here |

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% ring-spun cotton preshrunk jersey, 30 singles | DTG and discharge print cleanly on the full cotton face; plastisol holds a sharp deposit; DTF bonds at standard settings |
| 60/40 heather colours (Charcoal Heather, Black Ink Heather, Retro Heather Purple) | 60% cotton / 40% polyester | 40% poly means dye migration risk under heat; use a low-bleed poly-block underbase and moderate cure for plastisol; DTG produces a more muted result; DTF is the most consistent route on these shades |
| High-cotton heather colours (Athletic Heather, Aqua Velvet Heather, Candy Hearts Heather, Mint To Be Heather) | 90/10 or 99/1 cotton/polyester | behave close to the solid cotton colours; discharge reads nearly full on the 99/1 shades; light poly-block underbase on Athletic Heather for plastisol on dark-ground layouts |
