The blank Hanes 5480 Youth Essential-T T-Shirt is a dependable youth tee designed for school programs, camps, clubs, teams, events, and branded apparel projects. Its classic fit and smooth cotton surface make it a practical choice for screen printing, heat transfer, embroidery, and other decoration methods.
Made with sustainably sourced USA-grown cotton, this youth t-shirt offers everyday comfort with the durability needed for repeated wear. The 5.2 oz. fabric weight provides a balanced feel—not too heavy, not too light—making it suitable for uniforms, promotional apparel, spirit wear, and custom youth merchandise.
