⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently ordered some custom apparel for my business, PhenX Stucco & Siding. We had a few issues with the hoodies and getting everything exactly how I wanted it, but the team at T-Shirt Elephant was great to deal with.
They were patient, professional, and willing to work with me to make things right. They took the time to respond to my concerns and made sure I was looked after.
Customer service goes a long way, especially when you're running your own business. I really appreciate the effort they put in.
Thanks again to the team at T-Shirt Elephant!

Product Description
Bella+Canvas 3001CVC Heather CVC T-Shirt: The Retail-Quality Custom Tee
The Bella+Canvas 3001CVC is the heather version of the legendary Bella+Canvas 3001, arguably the most popular premium blank t-shirt in North America. Made from a CVC (Chief Value Cotton) blend of combed ring spun cotton and polyester, it delivers an incredibly soft hand feel with a subtle heathered texture that looks and feels like a retail fashion tee. This is the shirt streetwear brands, Etsy sellers, and premium merch lines choose when quality perception is everything.
The gold standard in premium custom tees. Printed in Canada with no minimums, 10-day turnaround, and free shipping on orders over $250.
Fabric & Construction
- 52/48 Airlume combed and ring spun cotton/polyester CVC blend: Bella+Canvas's proprietary ultra-soft yarn
- 4.2 oz / 142 GSM: lightweight with a premium, drapey feel
- Airlume combed and ring spun cotton: 30% softer than standard cotton, with a smoother, cleaner surface
- Heathered texture: the CVC blend creates a subtle, natural marled look that's trending across fashion and streetwear
- Side-seamed construction: contoured fit that follows the body, no boxy tubular shape
- Ribbed crew neck: fits snugly without being tight, holds shape without curling
- Shoulder taping: reinforced for durability and lay-flat comfort
- Tear-away label for easy rebranding
Fit & Sizing
- Unisex retail fit: modern, slightly fitted silhouette. Not boxy, not skin-tight, the sweet spot
- Available in XS through 4XL
- 100% cotton version: see Bella+Canvas 3001C Jersey Tee for solid colours in 100% Airlume cotton
- Youth version: see Bella+Canvas 3001Y Youth Jersey Tee
- Runs true to modern retail sizing, slightly slimmer than Gildan. Size up if you prefer a relaxed fit
Bella+Canvas 3001CVC vs Gildan 5000: Why the Upgrade?
- Softness: The 3001CVC is dramatically softer, Airlume cotton is 30% softer than standard cotton. Customers notice the difference in seconds
- Weight: The 3001CVC is 4.2 oz (light, drapey) vs the Gildan 5000's 5.3 oz (heavier, structured). Different feel entirely
- Fit: Side-seamed retail fit vs tubular straight cut, the 3001CVC looks like a fashion tee, the 5000 looks like a custom tee
- Aesthetic: The heathered CVC texture adds visual interest and a premium, modern look
- Perception: Customers perceive the 3001CVC as a "real shirt" worth keeping, not a promotional giveaway
- Recommendation: Choose the Gildan 5000 for budget-friendly bulk orders. Choose the 3001CVC when your custom tees need to feel like a retail product, merch, brand apparel, corporate gifts, and anything customers pay for.
Best Print Methods for the Bella+Canvas 3001CVC
- Screen Printing: beautiful results. The smooth Airlume surface produces incredibly crisp, detailed prints. The heathered background adds a unique vintage quality to printed designs.
- DTF (Direct-to-Film): excellent on all colours. The lightweight fabric means transfers sit smoothly without stiffness.
- Embroidery: works well for small logos. Use lightweight backing for best results on this lighter fabric.
- Heat Transfer / Vinyl: excellent adhesion on the smooth surface.
Popular Uses for Custom Bella+Canvas 3001CVC
- Retail Merchandise: Clothing brands, e-commerce stores, Etsy shops, print-on-demand, the tee customers will re-order and recommend

- Corporate Premium: Executive gifts, VIP event shirts, premium employee swag that people actually wear outside work
- Weddings & Events: Bachelorette/bachelor parties, wedding party gifts, milestone celebrations
- Small Business Branding: Coffee shops, breweries, studios, boutiques, the premium tee that represents your brand well
