The blank American Apparel 1301GD Garment-Dyed Heavyweight Cotton Tee is built for brands, decorators, and wholesale apparel programs that need a premium cotton shirt with a broken-in, vintage-inspired look.

Made from 6 oz./yd², 100% cotton with an 18 singles construction, this tee offers a substantial feel while maintaining everyday comfort. The relaxed fit and wide rib collar give it a classic retail-ready silhouette that pairs well with screen printing, embroidery, heat transfers, and custom labeling.
Designed with durability and responsible production in mind, the 1301GD features taped neck and shoulders, a recycled tear-away label, and low-impact OEKO-TEX certified dyes. It is also made with cotton from a proud member of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol and meets sustainable and socially conscious manufacturing standards.
