Next Level NL1580 - Women's Ideal Crop Tee - Antique Gold

The Next Level NL1580 is the Women's Ideal Crop Tee, a 4 oz 60/40 CVC crop-length body built on the same soft combed ring-spun cotton/poly jersey as the N1510 Ideal Tee but cut shorter to end above the waist. It is the blank a shop reaches for when a women's program calls for a cropped silhouette: boutique and retail resale lines, festival and event merch, dance and cheer team orders, and decorated crop tees for brands that sell a contemporary women's fit. The fabric is 60% combed ring-spun cotton and 40% polyester CVC jersey spun to a fine 30 singles, pre-shrunk, and every colour in the range carries the same uniform 60/40 blend with no colour-specific composition exceptions. The drop shoulder sleeve and 1x1 baby rib collar and cuffs give it a relaxed, modern shape, the side-seamed construction holds print registration, and the tear-away label suits resale. Sizes run XS through 3XL.

The NL1580 decorates like a lightweight CVC crop body, and the 40% polyester sets the rules for which methods work cleanly and which ones are limited. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the CVC face at standard heat-press settings and is the most forgiving route across the full colour range; scale and place artwork high and centred on the shorter cropped panel so the design sits inside the visible print area and does not run below the crop hem. For DTG, the 60% combed cotton holds pre-treat and prints with a soft retail hand, and the CVC surface gives the print a slightly faded vintage look; print brightest on White and the lighter solids, and lay a white underbase on Black, Midnight Navy and the other deep grounds. For screen printing, the CVC takes plastisol cleanly, but the 40% polyester can ghost or migrate on the deep colours, so lay a low-bleed poly-blocking underbase and cure at a moderate temperature. The drop shoulder construction gives a wider shoulder seam clearance for platen loading. For vinyl, use a light, flexible HTV at a controlled temperature so the film moves with the body without stiffening. For embroidery, the lightweight 4 oz crop jersey is a delicate substrate, so keep designs to a moderate stitch count over a cut-away backing and position left-chest placements within the shorter front panel. Water-based and discharge inks are limited here: the 40% polyester will not discharge and leaves only a faded tonal result. Sublimation does not apply on this cotton-majority body.

The construction note specific to crop tees: scale your artwork file to the shorter front panel before production. A full-front design sized for a standard-length tee will run below the crop hem and lose the bottom of the print. Position centre-chest and left-chest placements higher than on a full-length body to keep them inside the visible area. The NL1580 shares its 60/40 CVC fabric with the N1510 Women's Ideal Tee at a full length and the N6210 Unisex CVC Crew, so shops running a women's program across multiple silhouettes can hold one ink profile and swap the garment.
