USFans Spreadsheet T-Shirts Guide

The easiest entry category, but print quality and blank selection still vary.

T-shirts are the most forgiving category to start with, but that does not mean all options are equal. Blank quality ranges from thin ring-spun cotton to heavy vintage-wash fabric, and print methods vary between screen print, DTF, and direct-to-garment. The USFans spreadsheet lists multiple sources per design, and the differences usually show up in collar construction, sleeve drape, and print longevity. This guide walks you through the blank types, how to read print specs from notes, and which details to zoom in on when reviewing QC photos.

Sizing & Fit Notes

Boxy fits add width without length. If you want a traditional drape, go down one size in boxy cuts.

Pro tip: Measure a piece you already own that fits well, then compare against the size chart rather than ordering your usual tag size.
