100% Cotton & High-Cotton Blank Hoodies, Tees & Fleece
This collection brings together Three Layer’s pure cotton blanks and our high-cotton blends (80/20 cotton-poly), every garment where cotton is the dominant fiber and the primary surface your ink, thread, or transfer touches. Choose the 1003 tee at 4.5 oz or the 1005 tee at 6.0 oz for 100% cotton. The 5108 pullover and 5109 full zip use lightweight 7.8 oz 80/20 cotton-poly fleece, while the oversized 15001 pullover uses heavyweight 12 oz 80/20 brushed fleece.
For the 5109, a 100% ringspun cotton face and an 80/20 overall blend describe different parts of the fabric. The face yarn is the outer surface, while the blend describes total cotton and polyester content.
Why Cotton Content Matters for Decoration
Compare the 1003 and 1005 cotton tees with the 80/20 hoodies by fabric and decoration process:
- 1003 yarn: The 4.5 oz tee uses 100% combed cotton with 30 singles yarn.
- 1005 fabric: The 6.0 oz tee uses 100% ringspun cotton and comes in Black and White.
- 5109 face yarn: The 7.8 oz full zip has a 100% ringspun cotton face over an 80/20 cotton-poly fleece blend.
- DTG and discharge testing: The 1003 and 1005 tees are 100% cotton, while the 5108, 5109 and 15001 hoodies are 80/20 cotton-poly. Test DTG pretreatment or discharge chemistry on the exact style and color before a production run.
- Embroidery test: Test the backing, stitch count and artwork size on the selected 1003, 1005, 5108, 5109 or 15001 before production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum order for 100% cotton wholesale blanks?
No. Standard stock colors have no minimum order, so a single piece is fine and you can mix sizes and colors freely. Choose one of the five styles in this cotton collection for a custom-color run of at least 600 pieces in each color for fleece styles or 1,200 for the 1003 and 1005 tees. You may split the quantity across sizes. A brand new custom cut and sew style starts at 2,400 units.
How fast do in-stock cotton blanks ship?
In-stock paid orders placed by 12pm PT ship the same day. Custom colors for the 1003 or 1005 and custom high-cotton hoodies share a 120-day lead time. It consists of a 60-day production stage followed by a 60-day shipping stage.
What is the difference between the 100% cotton and 80/20 high-cotton blanks in this collection?
Only the 1003 and 1005 tees are 100% cotton. The 5108, 5109 and 15001 hoodies are 80% cotton and 20% polyester overall. On the 5109, 100% ringspun cotton face yarn forms the outer surface of that blend. Test your chosen garment color with the intended decoration process.
How does Three Layer’s cotton content compare to Bella+Canvas or Independent Trading Co blanks?
Three Layer’s 80/20 hoodies, the 5108, 5109, and 15001, put a 100 percent ringspun cotton face yarn on the surface you print, with the 80/20 blend underneath. Bella+Canvas 3719 is a 52/48 cotton-poly blend at 8.0 oz, and Independent Trading Co IND4000 is 70/30 at 10 oz and 330 gsm on solid colors, both manufacturer-stated specs. The IND4000 also uses 100% cotton 32-singles face yarn on its 70/30 solid and houndstooth fabrics. Its heather and safety colors use a 52/48 blend, while Bella+Canvas 3719 solids use 52/48 and Athletic Heather uses 90/10. Compare the exact colorway and test decoration settings before production.
Which weight should I choose for screen printing versus DTG or embroidery?
The 1003 is a 4.5 oz (153 GSM) 100% combed cotton tee. The 1005 is a 6.0 oz (203 GSM) 100% ringspun cotton tee. The 5108 and 5109 use 7.8 oz 80/20 cotton-poly fleece, and the 15001 uses 12 oz 80/20 cotton-poly brushed fleece. Test your ink, pretreatment, cure and embroidery backing on the selected style and color before bulk decoration. No Three Layer blank is suitable for sublimation because conventional dye sublimation needs high-polyester fabric.
Are the hoodies in this collection midweight or heavyweight?
The 5108 and 5109 hoodies are 7.8 oz (264 GSM) and fall in our lightweight class, which covers fleece at 8.0 oz and under. The 15001 Urban Hoodie at 12 oz is the true heavyweight in this collection. Our 8.8 oz 70/30 styles like the P280 and CR280 are midweight and live in a separate category.
