Jerzees 29B - Youth DRI-POWER® ACTIVE T-Shirt - Cardinal

The Jerzees 29B is the Youth Dri-Power Active T-Shirt, the youth cut of the adult 29M built on the same 5.6 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester jersey with the Dri-Power moisture-management finish. The 50/50 blend is built to move moisture, so the shirt wicks and dries rather than soaking and clinging, and it carries a CPSIA compliant tracking label sewn into the seam, the safety requirement for children's apparel, so it is order-ready for retail, school, and program work. That makes it the youth tee a shop reaches for when a job runs the adult 29M and needs the matching kids sizes on the same artwork, the default for youth team practice and PE shirts, rec-league and camp programs, school spirit and event giveaways spanning adult and youth, and any high-volume run where the cheapest wicking youth 50/50 tee decides the order.

The 29B prints like a value 50/50 tee with the one trap every blend carries: the polyester half wants to migrate under heat. For screen printing, which is the method this tee is built for, the smooth seamless body gives a clean canvas that holds bold spot colour; on dark colours lay a grey poly-blocking underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature so the dye does not bleed into the ink, and scale the art to the youth chest so a print sized for an adult front does not run off a small body. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the jersey face at standard heat-press settings; on the darker colours use a low-bleed film and a controlled press temperature to keep migration out of the print. For embroidery, the 5.6 oz body takes a small left-chest design with a cut-away backing scaled down to the youth panel. For DTG, the 50/50 blend migrates and prints more muted than a 100% cotton tee, so it is workable on the lighter colours with a blend pre-treat but is not the tee's strength. For vinyl and HTV, solid heat-transfer vinyl holds on the smooth face when pressed at a controlled temperature to limit dye bleed on the darks. Two methods do not apply: water-based discharge needs the dye to strip from 100% cotton, which the 50/50 polyester will not do, leaving only a faded tonal result, and the cotton-dominant blend is not a polyester sublimation substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: the solid colours run a true 50/50 while Ash, Oxford and the Vintage Heather colours carry more polyester, so confirm whether your colour is a solid or a heather before a repeat run, because the poly-rich colours migrate more and need a heavier underbase and a lower cure. Pair the 29B with the adult Jerzees 29M when a program runs the same artwork across youth and adult sizes, and cross-shop the Gildan G500B Youth Heavy Cotton when a job wants a 100% cotton youth body instead of the wicking 50/50.
