Japan Graphic Tees

Print scale is what dates a tee

Print scale is what dates a tee

Print scale decides how loud a tee reads, and most people get it backwards. A small print placed high on the chest reads considered. A large print across the whole front reads like merchandise, no matter how good the artwork underneath is.

Most of these keep the graphic small or place it off-center. One goes big on purpose.

Cotton, weight and cut

Fabric is cotton throughout, including a pure cotton, a 100% cotton and a 68% cotton with 32% polyester blend for a bit of structure. Heavyweight bases matter more on a printed tee than a plain one, because a thin base lets the ink stiffen the whole panel.

Body length at size M runs 69 cm to 74 cm and sleeve runs 22 cm on the rolled-sleeve heavyweight to 63.5 cm on the outdoor long sleeve. 6 of the 7 carry a full size chart, sizes run S to 2XL, and shoots use a 187 cm model or taller. Wash cold and turn them inside out.
