SIZING NOTE: Body length matches Comfort Colors 1717 at every size, but the chest runs about 2 inches wider. Order one size smaller than CC1717 for the same chest fit, or take your usual size for a relaxed oversized feel.
The DigiPrint Apparel Acid Wash Tee is a 180 GSM cotton blank built for streetwear brands, custom apparel decorators, and merch makers who want a relaxed oversized fit with drop shoulders and vintage character. Built on standard Comfort Colors 1717 body length with a wider chest at every size, this blank gives prints more room across the front while keeping a familiar overall proportion.
Each shirt is finished with an acid wash process — also commonly searched as mineral wash, stone wash, vintage wash, garment wash, or faded wash. Because of that wash process, every piece has slight variation in fade, texture, and color character. That natural variation is part of the style and gives every blank a one-of-a-kind vintage look. The mid-heavyweight 180 GSM cotton matches the fabric spec of AS Colour's Staple Faded line (5065) — premium mid-weight hand feel without the import lead time or price premium.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I order?
The body length matches Comfort Colors 1717 at every size, but the chest runs wider. If you usually wear a CC1717 Large, the Acid Wash Medium will give you the same chest fit. Take your usual CC1717 size if you want a more relaxed, oversized chest feel — for example, order Acid Wash Large for the relaxed version of CC1717 Large. The Equivalent US Size column in the size chart maps each Acid Wash size to its CC1717 chest equivalent.
Is this acid wash tee good for DTF printing?
Yes. This 180 GSM cotton acid wash tee is designed as a print-friendly blank for DTF, screen, embroidery, rhinestone, puff, and DTG. For darker washed colors (Black, Brown, Purple, Indigo), test one shirt before full production to confirm contrast and adhesion.
What decoration methods work best on this garment?
DTF transfers, screen printing, embroidery, DTG, puff transfers, and rhinestone decoration all work on this blank. Large chest prints, distressed artwork, retro logos, minimal left-chest embroidery, and simple puff details are especially strong matches for the acid wash surface, since the vintage finish naturally complements bold and lived-in graphics.
Do I need to test dark colors before a full production run?
Yes — we strongly recommend it. Washed and faded garments can respond differently depending on your transfer adhesive, ink system, blocker, curing setup, and heat press calibration. Run a one-shirt test and one wash test before committing to full production, especially on Black, Brown, Indigo, Olive, Purple, and Pink.
Will every acid wash shirt look exactly the same?
No. Acid wash, mineral wash, and stone wash garments naturally vary from piece to piece. Slight differences in fade depth, texture, and color tone are normal and are part of the vintage look.
