Description
The Jerzees 88MR is a 5.2 oz unisex snow heather jersey built on an 88% polyester / 12% ring-spun cotton blend, pre-shrunk to a classic quarter-turned fit with shoulder-to-shoulder taping, a 1x1 rib collar, and a tear-away label. The snow heather effect comes directly from the fabric construction: the ring-spun cotton and polyester yarns are spun together unevenly so each finished garment carries a variegated, slightly flecked surface. That texture is the product. It produces a lived-in, vintage-adjacent aesthetic that a flat-dyed blank does not replicate, and it does so consistently across the color range.
The 88% polyester content is the decoration decision point on the 88MR. DTF is the safest first choice across all 11 colors: the transfer adhesive bonds reliably to the poly-heavy face at standard time and temperature, and the soft film moves naturally with the heathered surface without cracking the variegated texture. For screen printing, the 88% polyester content means dye migration is a real production variable on every color in the range, not just darks. A low-bleed poly-blocking underbase is required on all but the lightest grounds, and cure temperature should sit lower than you would use on a cotton blank to avoid ghost migration. Bold vector art and spot-colour prints perform well; fine halftones and detailed photorealistic work belong on a cotton substrate where migration risk does not exist. For sublimation, the 88% polyester content is high enough to produce a full dye-sub print on light colors, particularly the white-base snow heather grounds. The 12% cotton fraction prevents a full-brightness commercial sublimation result, so final output carries a heathered, slightly muted cast. That quality is suitable for a program where the vintage aesthetic is the intended look, and unsuitable for a program expecting hard-edge, photo-accurate color. DTG on the 88MR is feasible but routes through the same poly-majority constraint: pre-treatment adhesion is reduced on high-poly fabric, white underbase prints on dark grounds may not bond with the same durability as on a cotton blank, and results should be tested before a production run. Vinyl HTV bonds at standard conditions; use a cover sheet, keep press temp in the polyester-safe range.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | Most reliable method across all 11 snow heather colors. Adhesive bonds to the poly-heavy face at standard time and temp; soft film maintains the variegated surface texture |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | 88% polyester requires a low-bleed poly-blocking underbase on ALL colors, not just darks. Cure temp lower than cotton standard to prevent dye migration. Bold spot colour performs well; avoid fine halftones |
| Sublimation | ✓ | 88% polyester is high enough for full dye-sub coverage on light snow heather grounds. The 12% cotton fraction mutes output slightly; final result carries a heathered vintage cast rather than photo-accurate brightness |
| DTG | ✓ | Feasible but requires testing. High poly content reduces pre-treatment adhesion. White underbase on dark grounds may bond with less durability than on a cotton blank. Test before production run |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | Bonds at standard conditions. Use a cover sheet and keep press temperature in the polyester-safe range to avoid distortion of the snow heather fabric |
| Embroidery | ✓ | 5.2 oz mid-weight body supports left-chest and small-placement embroidery. Use a cut-away stabiliser. Avoid high-stitch-count fills that could pucker the heathered jersey |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✗ | 88% polyester does not discharge. Water-based inks on the poly face will result in reduced opacity and poor adhesion on all but the lightest grounds |

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Light snow heather grounds (Denim, Caribbean Blue, Forest Green, Military Green, Red, Royal) | 88% polyester / 12% ring-spun cotton | Sublimation viable on lighter grounds: 88% poly produces near-full dye coverage with a slight heathered cast. DTF at standard time and temp. Poly-block underbase still required for screen printing. |
| Dark snow heather grounds (Black Ink, Charcoal, Navy, Maroon, Purple) | 88% polyester / 12% ring-spun cotton | Same 88/12 blend. Sublimation not recommended on dark grounds (dark base absorbs dye, no white polyester to carry pigment). DTF primary. Screen print requires strongest poly-block underbase and lowest safe cure temp. |
