How it is made: Comfort Colors 6030
The 6030 starts as an unbleached heavyweight BC 3001 Staple Tee. Dye happens last: the finished garment is cut, sewn, then dyed whole. Pigment dye sits on the fiber instead of bonding into it, so the color breaks in where the fabric moves — collar, seams, hem. That's why no two units shade identically, and why the hand-feel reads broken-in from day one.
Branding comes after dye. Embroidery-first: the chest-left mark is stitched directly into the finished garment, one placement only. No front-print graphics, no back hits. Thread over ink.
Construction notes: ring-spun cotton, mid-weight BC 3001 Staple Tee class, double-needle hems, shoulder-to-shoulder taping. The garment will settle and shrink slightly with its first wash — that's a property of garment-dye, not a defect.
Series One is built on blanks like this because the blank carries the shirt; the mark just signs it. Spec first, decoration second.
Series One will not be restocked. Watch the list.
