What Our Customers Say
Looks great! If only I'd ordered the correct size, my bad! Ordering another!
My first time ordering with T-Shirt Elephant, and have to say that I am very pleased and impressed. Website was easy to use to design my shirts and the delivery of my 100+ shirts arrived exactly when promised. I ordered the American Apparel T-shirt and am very impressed by the quality of the shirts themselves, as they have a nice weight, and by the printing which was spot on. Everyone that I give a shirt to is immediately impressed by the quality. Thank you T-Shirt Elephant, fantastic job!
Expectations were definitely exceeded. They cleaned up logo's for print to a level way beyond what I expected they would be able to. They made a minor error on the order and very promptly took care of making it right with no hesitation, a level of service you don't see these days. They even accommodated changes on the reproduction that they certainly didn't have to, definitely above and beyond. I would highly recommend based on the experience I've had with them.
I was hoping to cancel my order due to the shipping being later than expected and also had made some errors in my original order that I was hoping they could fix. I contacted customer service and they were kind enough to negotiate with me since the order was already processed and I was unable to receive a refund. They made sure to have the order shipped to my preferred date and were so helpful!! T-shirts turned out amazing. Will be ordering from them again if I ever need to!!
Great quality, fast shipping, very happy with our t-shirts
T-Shirt Éléphant did a great job on our company aprons. Small order needed ASAP. They look great and we’re ready for pick up within our time frame.
We have used T-Shirt Elephant for several orders over the years - for camp t-shirts and graduation gifts. Their fulfillment is quick, matching their timelines, and their communication is excellent. Also their prices are very reasonable. We continue to come back to them for all our custom shirt needs!
Ordered custom tees very last minute. Tried a few local companies but they couldn’t accommodate. This company was super efficient, easy to deal with, quick to respond, and very professional. Came within a week with a rush fee. Very satisfied with my purchase. Will consider this company again when doing custom work. Jason my rep was great to deal with. Impressed!
They did a great job! Customer service replied very fast and they followed through the issue very well. We will definitely order again!

T-Shirt turned out better then expected!
Fantastic customer service, rapid responses and matched a competitor when I reached out. 27 t-shirts for a wedding on a really short timeline, and they arrived with plenty of time, look great and the print quality is excellent. Shirts got rave reviews, thanks Jason!
I was nervous doing a shirt design and online ordering.. The shirts arrive exactly as designed and such great quality. They were a hit. My boyfriend wore one to work and people took pictures lol. Thanks for not disappointing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Above and beyond service from T-Shirt Elephant! We needed some t-shirts made for our family reunion and family member's 80th birthday in Canada. Unfortunately we didn't give ourselves enough time to order, but I reached out and T-Shirt Elephant was willing to expedite our order of 30 shirts and deliver within ONE week. They underpromised and overdelivered; order arrived a day early and all t-shirts ordered met our quality expectations. Everyone was delighted with the souvenirs and memories.
Amazing service and quality! I placed an order online and it was completed and delivered within 3 weeks. The print came out great and I’ll definitely be using them again in the future.
I have a great experience with T-shirt elephant. I ordered 50 baseball caps with a letter embroidered on them. First of all their turnaround time was amazing. They had my hats ready for me a week before the estimated completion date, which was great. The hats themselves came out way better than expected. The hats were an amazing quality and the embroidered letter on the hat looked amazing. I would definitely use T-shirt elephant again for custom hats or T-shirts.
Easy to use website to import design and very happy with the results. Definitely will be using again.
Love it! The shirt quality? Excellent. The printing? Beautiful, rich colours. Delivered on time. The creation tool is simple and effective; I got what I created. I definitely recommend T-Shirt Elephant!
Tshirt elephant did a great job. I was struggling with my design on other app’s but tshirt elephant’s app was able to help me get to professional quality I was looking for. The shirts themselves were very good quality and the ladies shirts were much better than the other guys I’ve used. Processing was fast and delivery was quick. I will be using this company again for my next project 😀.
My expectations were exceeded! I ordered two custom printed t-shirts for an upcoming safari trip of a lifetime and they are beyond what I expected. The design and ordering process was easy and I couldn't be happier thank you!
Ordered hats from T-Shirt Elephant for pick up, everything was easy and seamless. I got email saying it is ready for pick up in 4 days. Pretty fast taking into account how busy they are.
Shirts are extremely high quality and the communication with myself and the team was great. They rushed my order and I’m very pleased with the experience.
T-Shirt Elephant provided great service. There was a problem with my graphic and they were quick to catch it. They promptly contacted me to discuss the changes needed. Once I had fixed the error, my shirts were printed and shipped out very quickly.
Excellent communication. Fantastic final product. I will happily do business with them, again.
I ordered 20 shirts for a yearly motorcycle trip on relatively short notice. The shirts looked amazing and I had many positive comments. They also had them done quickly for me!
Very helpful during the design phase, sent us photo proofs and recommended specific design changes.
End product was high quality. Will definitely be returning for further business.
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.
- DTG (Direct-to-Garment) — outstanding. The high cotton content absorbs ink deeply for rich, photo-quality prints with a soft hand feel that blends into the fabric.
- 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
- Streetwear & Fashion: Independent labels, limited drops, capsule collections, influencer collaborations
- Band & Artist Merch: Tour merchandise, album tees, music festival merch — the quality fans expect when buying
- 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
