Description
The Threadfast Apparel 100A is the Ultimate CVC Tee, a 4.8 oz 60/40 cotton/recycled polyester body that pairs a soft CVC hand with a verifiable sustainability claim: the polyester fibre is made from recycled content including post-consumer plastic bottles, and the heather colours use ColorZen technology that dyes the cotton using up to 90% less water and 75% less energy than conventional reactive dyeing. It is the blank a shop reaches for when a programme needs a CVC tee with a documented eco story for corporate sustainability initiatives, eco-conscious retail and resale lines, branded merch where the client values a recycled-content garment, and any decorator who wants a heavier CVC body (15% heavier than a typical 4.2 oz 30-singles tee) with a sustainability angle that holds up to scrutiny.
The 100A is a uniform 60/40 CVC across the card, so the decoration setup stays the same colour to colour. At 4.8 oz it carries more body than lighter CVC tees, which gives the fabric a slightly sturdier hand under ink and embroidery. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the CVC face at standard heat-press settings across the full card including heathers, camo, and the tropical printed patterns; DTF is the primary route for the widest range of artwork on this body. For DTG, the 60% cotton holds the pretreat and prints a soft vintage look; white underbase on darks. For screen printing, plastisol prints on the CVC face, but 40% recycled polyester can migrate on deep and neon colours, so lay a low-bleed poly-blocking underbase and cure at a moderate temperature. For embroidery, the 4.8 oz CVC is sturdy enough for a left-chest logo with a cut-away backing; the heavier weight carries a denser stitch than a lightweight CVC. For vinyl and HTV, solid heat-transfer vinyl presses clean. Discharge does not apply, since 40% polyester prevents a clean dye strip. Sublimation does not apply, since the body is only 40% polyester.

The reorder note specific to this style: the recycled polyester content and ColorZen dyeing are documented at the manufacturer level, so a programme can cite specific sustainability metrics (90% less water, 75% less energy, recycled plastic bottles) rather than making a vague eco claim. The 4.8 oz weight makes the 100A heavier and more substantial than typical 4.2-4.3 oz CVC tees, which some programmes prefer for a premium hand feel. Cross-shop the Gildan G640CVC when a programme wants a similar 60/40 CVC with OEKO-TEX certification and recycled poly at a lower price, and the Next Level N6210 when the job wants a lighter 4.3 oz CVC with a fitted retail cut. TheClothingSpace stocks the 100A at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Solid colours (White, Black, Navy, Royal, Red, Gold, Bright Yellow, Bright Orange, Pacific Blue, Forest Green, Purple, Silver, Graphite, Maroon Heather) | 60/40 cotton/recycled poly CVC | Solids carry less migration risk than heathers; white underbase on darks for screen and DTG; DTF reads cleanly across the card |
| Heather colours (Heather Gray, Navy Heather, Charcoal Heather, Army Heather, Royal Heather, Red Heather) | 60/40 cotton/recycled poly CVC, ColorZen low-water dyed cotton | Heathers use ColorZen; heathered texture gives DTG a soft vintage look; poly-block on deep heather grounds for screen |
| Printed patterns (Palm Paradise, Tropical Jungle, Green Hex Camo) | 60/40 cotton/recycled poly CVC | Allover printed patterns need decoration that knocks out the ground: DTF with a full white base, or embroidery/vinyl that sits on top of the pattern |
