Quality matters when you are searching for the perfect apparel for DTG. That is because the lower the quality of the fabric, the more you will need to use pretreat and ink to make a decent print. Our simple solution is to find a good quality, ringspun cotton shirt! Sticking with ringspun cotton apparel will save you a lot of time, headaches and will provide you with a great product for your customers. Check out our DTG best practices blog post in collaboration with PolyPrint for more information.

Best Brands & Styles for DTG Printing 

In general, we have found the District® line has performed really well in both 100% ringspun cotton and tri-blend. Our current favorite from District® is the DT104. Bella Canvas is also a great brand to work with for DTG. Their popular 3001 shirt is seen in most shops decorated with the direct to garment transfer process. Gildan has also recently stepped up their game with the Gildan Softstyle® line, which uses ringspun cotton. If you are looking for a heavier shirt, try Comfort Wash™ by Hanes. This style is specifically engineered for DTG and is a good alternative for the Comfort Colors® line.
