Sizing
Adult size chart.

| M | 23" | 28.5" |
| L | 25" | 29.5" |
| XL | 26.5" | 30.5" |
| 2XL | 28" | 31.5" |

Decoration Methods
Comfort Colors 1566 printing: what works best.
How each major decoration method performs on the 1566. The 100% ring-spun cotton face takes decoration well, but the garment-dye surface needs special care with white and light inks. The ratings below are the DTF Dallas decoration assessment, not manufacturer ratings, and may vary by ink, transfer, garment color, and equipment. Test one piece before a full run.
DTF (Direct-to-Film)
The ring-spun cotton face holds clean DTF detail. Take special care when printing white or light ink on darker garment-dyed colors, and follow the transfer manufacturer's recommended settings. Test one piece first on the exact color.
Best for: Vintage merch, premium brands, drops
Screen Printing
A decorator favorite for garment-dyed goods. Discharge and water-based inks pair well with the pigment-dyed look. White ink needs special consideration on garment-dyed cotton, so test first.
Best for: Soft-hand prints, vintage graphics
DTG (Direct-to-Garment)
The 100% ring-spun cotton face absorbs DTG ink well for vivid prints. Pretreat correctly and test the exact garment-dyed color first, since pigment dye can affect results.
Best for: Full-color and photo prints
Embroidery
At 9.5 oz the heavyweight fleece is an ideal embroidery base. Use a proper backing and stabilizer. The dense fleece supports left-chest logos and larger designs well.
Best for: Logos, premium branded fleece
Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
HTV bonds well to the cotton face. Pre-press briefly to flatten and remove moisture, and test adhesion on the garment-dyed surface first.
Best for: Names, numbers, small runs
Sublimation
Sublimation needs a high-polyester garment to bond. Since the 1566 is 80% cotton, sublimation will not hold. Use DTF, screen printing, or DTG instead.
Best for: n/a, choose DTF or screen
Common Problems & Fixes

The 1566 is a 9.5 oz 80/20 garment-dyed fleece. Here is how to handle common dye, fit, print, and wash-care questions.
White inkTest on garment dye first
ShadeVaries piece to piece
Order togetherFor consistent color
Cause
The 1566 is garment dyed, and shade variation is inherent in the pigment dye process. Slight differences in tone between pieces are normal and part of the vintage look.
Fix
Order one color run together when a consistent shade matters, and set the expectation that garment-dyed goods vary by nature.
Cause
Printing white or light ink on garment-dyed cotton needs special consideration, since the dyed surface can affect how the ink sits and cures.
Fix
Test one piece first on the exact color and follow the transfer manufacturer's settings. Adjust white ink and underbase as needed for the dyed surface.
Cause
Most 1566 colors are pigment dyed for a vintage faded look. Orchid, True Navy, and White are reactive/direct dyed for a more traditional appearance.
Fix
Check the dye method of your chosen color before a full run. Chambray and Terracotta are transitioning between methods, so inventory may be mixed.
Cause
The 1566 has a relaxed fit with a rolled forward shoulder, so it runs roomier than a standard crewneck. At L the chest measures 25 inches laid flat.
Fix
Share the laid-flat size chart so buyers can compare. Customers who want a closer fit can size down.
Cause
The 1566 is garment dyed, and the dyeing and washing process helps minimize shrinkage. Some change may still occur.
Fix
Follow the garment care label, wash cold inside out, and tumble dry low. Wash-test one piece before a large decorated run.
Cause
The 1566 is a 9.5 oz 3-end heavyweight fleece, much denser than a standard 8 oz fleece, which gives its premium, substantial hand.
Fix
This is by design for premium garment-dyed merch. If you want a lighter, lower-cost fleece, compare with the Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend.

FAQ
What to know before ordering the Comfort Colors 1566.
The Comfort Colors 1566 is a garment-dyed crewneck sweatshirt in 9.5 oz 80/20 ring-spun cotton and polyester at 30 singles. It is garment dyed for a soft, lived-in feel that helps minimize shrinkage, with a relaxed fit, 3-end heavyweight fleece, a 100% ring-spun US cotton face, and 1x1 rib collar, cuffs, and waistband. It runs S through 3XL. See the size chart and color range below to order.
The Comfort Colors 1566 and Gildan 18000 are both crewneck fleece sweatshirts, but the fabric and dye differ. The 1566 is a 9.5 oz 80/20 garment-dyed fleece with a relaxed, premium lived-in look, while the 18000 is an 8 oz 50/50 Heavy Blend at a lower price. Choose the 1566 for a heavier, vintage garment-dyed feel and the 18000 for value. Review both spec sheets before ordering.
Garment dyed means the Comfort Colors 1566 is dyed after it is sewn, which gives a soft, broken-in feel and a vintage look. The garment-dyeing and washing process helps minimize shrinkage, though slight dimensional change may still occur after laundering. Shade variation is inherent in the pigment dye process, so slight color differences between pieces are normal and part of the style. Order one color run together when a consistent shade matters, and test one piece before a full decorated run.
Yes, the Comfort Colors 1566 works with DTF transfers. The 100% ring-spun US cotton face gives a smooth, printable surface. Because it is garment dyed, take special care when printing white or light ink on darker pigment-dyed colors, and follow the transfer manufacturer's recommended settings. Test one sweatshirt first on the exact color. DTF Dallas prints custom transfers for the 1566 same-day when ordered before 2:00 PM CT.
The Comfort Colors 1566 is garment dyed, and the dyeing and washing process helps minimize shrinkage. Some dimensional change may still occur depending on washing and drying. Follow the garment care label, wash cold inside out, and wash-test one sweatshirt before a large decorated run to confirm fit and color.
The Comfort Colors 1566 uses two dye methods. Pigment dye colors give a vintage, faded look that stays for the life of the garment, with shade variation from piece to piece. Reactive or direct dye colors (Orchid, True Navy, and White) give a more traditional, even dyed appearance with the same softness. Chambray and Terracotta may ship as either reactive/direct or pigment dye during the transition. Check which dye method your chosen color uses before ordering a full run.
The Comfort Colors 1566 comes in S through 3XL with a relaxed fit. Chest runs from 21 inches at S to 29.5 inches at 3XL laid flat, and body length runs from 27.5 to 32.5 inches, with measurements approximate and varying slightly by production run. Available colors and sizes vary by inventory, and DTF Dallas can help source additional 1566 combinations for Richardson pickup. Check the full size chart above before ordering.
