Jerzees 29BL - Youth DRI-POWER® ACTIVE Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Black

The Jerzees 29BL is the Youth Dri-Power Active Long-Sleeve T-Shirt, the youth long-sleeve cut in the same 5.6 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester Dri-Power family as the adult 29L and the short-sleeve 29M, built on a pre-shrunk jersey with a moisture-wicking finish and rib cuffs with concealed seams. The 50% polyester moves moisture and cuts shrink while the 50% cotton keeps a soft, printable face, and the shirt carries a CPSIA compliant tracking label sewn into the seam, the safety requirement for children's apparel, so it is order-ready for retail kids lines, school, and program work without an added compliance step. That makes it the youth long-sleeve a shop reaches for when a cooler-weather program runs adult 29L bodies and needs the matching kids sizes on the same artwork, the default for youth team practice and PE layering shirts, rec-league and camp programs, school spirit and fall event giveaways spanning adult and youth, and any high-count run where the cheapest wicking youth 50/50 long-sleeve decides the order.

The 29BL prints like a value 50/50 long-sleeve with the one trap every blend carries: the polyester half wants to migrate under heat, and the long sleeves add print real estate down the arms and on the cuffs. For screen printing, which is the method this tee is built for, the seamless body gives a wide print area that holds bold spot colour; on dark colours lay a grey poly-blocking underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature so the garment 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 cotton/poly face at a controlled press temperature, the most consistent single method across the whole colour card including the heathers, and it presses clean down a sleeve for a number or a sponsor mark; on the darker colours use a low-bleed film to keep migration out of the print. For embroidery, the midweight 5.6 oz body takes a small left-chest or sleeve design with a cut-away backing scaled down to the youth panel. For DTG, the 50% cotton in the face takes pre-treat and ink and prints more vibrantly than a poly-majority blend, though it reads a touch softer than a 100% cotton tee, so reserve the brightest DTG work for the lighter colours. For vinyl and HTV, poly-friendly heat-transfer vinyl holds on the smooth face and runs numbers and names down the sleeves when pressed at a controlled temperature to limit dye bleed on the darks. Two methods do not apply: water-based discharge strips dye 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 the Oxford colorway runs 47/53 cotton/polyester and the Athletic Heather and high-viz shades 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. Decorating youth apparel for under-12 wearers carries a CPSIA tracking-label obligation, so keep the sewn-in tracking label intact through the print process. Pair the 29BL with the adult Jerzees 29L when a cooler-weather program runs the same artwork across youth and adult long-sleeve sizes, and cross-shop the Gildan G540B Youth Heavy Cotton Long-Sleeve when a job wants a 100% cotton youth body for cleaner discharge instead of the wicking 50/50.
