Rabbit Skins 4491RA - Infant Harborside Melange Bodysuit - Oceanside Melange

Description
The Rabbit Skins 4491RA is an infant melange jersey bodysuit built from 4.5 oz 65/35 polyester/combed ring-spun cotton Harborside melange fabric. The heathered texture is part of the yarn construction, giving each colorway a soft, marled look that reads well for retail baby merch, boutique birth announcements, and custom infant gift programs.
The poly-majority composition runs uniform across all colorways, so there is no blend variation to manage across a multi-color order. The trade-off is that discharge and water-based inks will not produce clean results on the 65% polyester content, and DTG prints land softer and more muted than on cotton-first bodies. DTF transfers are the default practical route. Double-needle stitched ribbed binding on lap shoulder neck, shoulders, sleeves, and leg openings. Three-snap closure for fast diaper changes. Flatlock-stitched side seams. EasyTear label. CPSIA compliant with tracking label in side seam.
Decoration and Printability
DTF transfers are the primary method. The poly-majority melange fabric bonds consistently with heat-applied film, and the melange texture gives printed designs a textured vintage backdrop. Screen printers need a poly-block underbase on all colors with moderate cure to prevent dye migration. DTG is possible but limited: the 35% cotton holds pretreatment, but colors appear softer. Scale artwork to the small infant chest panel and keep clear of the lap shoulder binding.
