Lane Seven LST002 - Unisex Vintage T-Shirt - Camel

The Lane Seven LST002 is a 4.3 oz unisex vintage t-shirt built from 100% ringspun combed cotton and mineral-washed after assembly. The light 4.3 oz weight and the post-assembly mineral wash are the two specs that define how this tee decorates: it is a soft, broken-in retail-fit blank for boutique merch, band and tour shirts, and small-batch streetwear programs where the worn-in hand and the tonal washed colorway are the selling point, not a heavy uniform-grade tee. Because the mineral wash creates the colour after the garment is sewn, shade depth shifts slightly piece to piece within a dye lot and more noticeably between lots. For any program over a few dozen pieces, order the full quantity from a single dye lot and record the lot number so a back-order matches as closely as possible. The side-seamed body and tight-knit combed face give screen printers and DTF applicators a smoother, more dimensionally stable print surface than a tubular open-end tee.

The 100% cotton body supports the full range of cotton-preferred decoration methods that a poly-blend tee cannot. For DTF, the combed cotton face accepts adhesive film cleanly and the mineral-washed finish gives transfers a soft integrated look rather than a film-on-fabric appearance; press to the ink manufacturer's cotton spec, which runs lower than the polyester setting. For screen printing, the tight-knit combed face holds plastisol with clean ink holdout, but the 4.3 oz weight is lighter than a 5.3 to 6 oz workhorse tee, so reduce squeegee pressure and ink deposit to avoid pushing ink through the open knit, and run a moderate-coverage white underbase on the darker mineral-wash shades (Black, Cloud Black, Vintage Denim) rather than a heavy double-hit that will stiffen a light garment. Water-based and discharge inks are compatible with the 100% cotton construction; discharge reads best on the lighter faded shades (Vintage Camel, Vintage Mustard, Vintage Zinc) where dye residual is lowest, and is less reliable on the heaviest wash shades. DTG is feasible on the cotton body; pretreat as for 100% cotton and test first, because the mineral-washed finish affects how pretreat absorbs, with the most consistent results on the lighter colorways. For embroidery, the 4.3 oz body is lightweight, so use a cut-away backing and keep stitch density moderate to prevent puckering or tunnelling on the thin combed face. Vinyl and HTV bond well at standard cotton press settings.

The LST002 is sized XS-3XL, a narrower extended range than a Gildan G500 or Bella Canvas 3001 (both run to 4XL or 5XL), so plan a separate substrate if your program includes 4XL and up. Reorder consistency depends on matching the original dye lot: the mineral wash is what creates the colour, so two runs of the same colorway from different lots will not be a perfect match. The LST002 is the lightweight tee companion to the heavier Lane Seven LST004 vintage raglan hoodie for matched boutique sets. TheClothingSpace stocks the LST002 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase with case and unit quantities, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colorways.
