Shaka Wear helped make the thick, boxy heavyweight tee a West Coast streetwear essential. If your customers love that substantial feel, the CA Apparel 2038 Super Heavyweight Crewneck Tee is for you, and it's one of the heaviest blanks we carry.
The heavyweight look streetwear brands want
Shaka Wear's popular Max Heavyweight tee is listed at 7.5 oz (around 245 to 255 GSM). Thick cotton like that drapes with structure, keeps its shape, and gives a garment that premium, built-to-last feel. The 2038 is made for brands that want that look turned all the way up.
CA Apparel 2038 specs
- Fabric: 100% cotton
- Fabric weight: 10.9 oz | 370 GSM (super heavyweight)
- Neck: Crewneck
- Sleeves: Short sleeves
- Tear-away label: made for private labeling and rebranding
- Colors: Black and White
- Sizes: S through 2XL
That's nearly double the weight of a standard 5 to 6 oz (175 to 200 GSM) blank, and roughly 45% heavier than a 7.5 oz tee.
Decorating a super heavyweight tee
The dense 370 GSM, 100% cotton fabric gives screen prints and DTF transfers a stable, flat surface. Thicker fabric can take more press time or pressure for transfers to fully bond, so dial in your settings on a sample shirt before a production run.
Sold by the piece
- S to XL: $12.00 each

Need something in between?
