Women's size chart.
All measurements are laid-flat garment dimensions in inches. The 1533 is a women's cut with a classic fit, so it measures narrower than a unisex tank at each size. Available XS to 2XL.
| Size | Chest | Body Length from HPS |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 14" | 26.75" |
| S | 15" | 27.375" |
| M | 16" | 28" |
| L | 17" | 28.625" |
| XL | 18" | 29.25" |
| 2XL | 19" | 29.875" |
Measurement note: Chest is measured across the garment one inch below the armhole when laid flat. Body length is measured from the high point of the shoulder to the finished hem at the back. Measurements are approximate and may vary slightly between production runs. Available XS to 2XL.
1533 printing: what works best.
How each major decoration method performs on the 1533. The 30-singles fine-gauge cotton-poly surface is smooth, but the 40% polyester content can affect how the fabric responds to heat compared to a cotton tee. Decoration ratings are DTF Dallas recommendations and may vary by ink, transfer, garment color, and equipment.
DTF (Direct-to-Film)
The 30-singles combed ring-spun surface is fine-gauge and smooth, which can support clean DTF detail. Follow the transfer manufacturer's recommended settings and test one tank first. Dark colors may need a low-bleed or blocker transfer if dye migration appears during testing.
Screen Printing
The smooth fine-gauge jersey takes screen prints cleanly. Dark colors may need a low-bleed underbase, since the 40% polyester content can cause dye migration under cure heat. Test the exact color first.
DTG (Direct-to-Garment)
DTG bonds to the 60% cotton content, though a 60/40 blend gives less ink absorption than 100% cotton. Expect a slightly lighter finish and pretreat accordingly.
Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
HTV bonds well to the blend at lower temperatures. Pre-press briefly to flatten and remove moisture, and confirm your vinyl is rated for cotton-poly blends.
Embroidery
At 4.0 oz this is a lightweight jersey, so dense stitch counts can pucker. Use a proper backing and stabilizer, and keep designs light. Test one tank first.
Sublimation
Sublimation bonds only to the 40% polyester content, so results on a 60/40 blend look faded and washed-out by design. This can work as an intentional vintage effect on White, but it will not produce the same color intensity as a 100% polyester garment. Test the exact color first.
Blend, sizing, or print questions? Start here.
The 1533 is a 4.0 oz cotton-poly tank. Here is how to handle common fabric, print, sizing, and wash-care questions.
The currently listed 1533 colors are 60% combed ring-spun cotton and 40% polyester. Unlike a cotton tee where only a few heather colors are blended, the whole range here is a blend.
Follow the transfer manufacturer's recommended settings and test one tank first. Polyester content can affect how the fabric responds to heat.
The 40% polyester content means polyester dye can migrate into light-colored ink under press or cure heat, especially on dark colors.
Test the exact color first. If dye migration appears, switch to a low-bleed or blocker transfer and follow the transfer manufacturer's settings for blends.
The 1533 is a women's cut with a classic fit, running from a 14 inch chest at XS to a 19 inch chest at 2XL laid flat. It measures narrower than a unisex tank at the same letter size.
Share the laid-flat size chart so buyers can compare measurements against a tank they already own and pick the right size.
The 1533 fabric is laundered to help reduce dimensional change. It still contains 60% cotton, so some change may occur depending on how it is washed and dried.
Follow the garment care label, and wash-test one tank before a large decorated run so you can size accordingly.
A racerback tank has a narrower print area than a t-shirt, and the scoop neck and armhole binding limit how high and wide a design can sit.
Scale designs down from your t-shirt artwork and keep prints centered between the armholes. Test placement on one tank per size before a full run.
At 4.0 oz this is a lightweight fine-gauge jersey, so dense stitch counts can pull and pucker the fabric.
Use a proper backing and stabilizer, keep stitch counts light, and test one tank before committing to a run.
