Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best shirts for back-to-school?
The best back-to-school shirts are durable, comfortable, and budget-friendly. For everyday wear, look for cotton or cotton-blend tees from brands like Gildan, Bella+Canvas or Port & Company, available at ShirtSpace.com in youth and adult sizes. When it comes to styles, it's good to stock a wardrobe with a variety of options, including classic crewneck tees, ¾ sleeve raglans and long-sleeve t-shirts for the colder seasons.
What fabrics are best for kids' school shirts?
Cotton and cotton/poly blends are ideal for everyday wear. They're breathable, easy to wash, and resist shrinking—perfect for active school days. For kids who are more active throughout their day, or those who play sports, moisture-wicking 100% polyester and mesh styles are solid picks for school shirts.
What's the best t-shirt for school fundraising events?
The Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton™ Tee is a favorite for school fundraisers. It's affordable, comes in over 60 colors, and works great with any printing method. Another solid choice is the Port & Company PC61 Essential Tee, since it was voted 'most popular' by groups, teams, clubs and schools across America.
What are the best hoodies for students?
Top picks for student hoodies include the ever-popular heavy blend classic, the Gildan G185 and Independent Trading Co.'s SS4500. They're cozy, durable, and budget-friendly—great for cool-weather back-to-school outfits.
