What to look for in an Event T-shirt?
Fabric
Different events call for different fabrics. Some customers will want breathable, quick-drying materials for outdoor or sports events, while others need softness and durability for casual wear. T-shirts such as the JC001 Cool T-shirt from Just Cool is made from a combination of cotton and polyester wicking fabric giving the garment its quick drying properties suitable for sporting events. The AT001 AWDis Tee is the perfect t-shirt for mass printing and embroidery with its 100% better cotton trademark, providing customers with a soft and long-lasting momentum.
Fit
A good fit ensures that attendees not only look the part but feel comfortable too. At Prestige Leisure, we offer t-shirts in a wide range of fits and sizes, including standard, slim, relaxed, oversized, and specific ladies and kid's options. This allows you to kit out a whole team and event with whatever t-shirt fits their needs. The AM010 Anthem T-shirt makes the perfect events merchandise t-shirt with its slim fit versatile for both men and woman. If you had an event with both kids and adults, the AT001 from AWDis comes in both an adult and kids fit perfect for kitting out charity events and festivals.
Colour
Offering a range of different colours to your customers allows them the freedom to pick a customised t-shirt that suits the event or brand. Giving customers the choice of colours gives you an opportunity to increase your sales as the customer may require additional units, including a different colour for each day of the event. The GD05 Gildan Heavy Cotton T-shirt comes in a total of 53 colours so your customers can choose a colour that suits their design needs. Additionally, it is also good to find a range that colour matches with other garments. Take the AT001 and AT002 where although their colour range is smaller, it has a guaranteed colour match with the JH001. This gives you the opportunity to upsell to your customer offering them a hoodie that matches.
Ease of Decoration
When buying wholesale t-shirts, executing the design is at the forefront of your mind therefore you will be requiring a t-shirt that is easy to decorate on. Your print and embroidery capabilities will depend on the fabric of the t-shirt for example the JC001 Cool t-shirt is perfect for print but not so good for embroidery. Organic cotton makes for a nice decoration surface as it tends to be ring spun which creates a strong and softer cotton. The AT001 AWDis Tee, AM010 from Anthem and the EA001 from Ecologie make great decoration surfaces. However, cotton works just as well providing a surface for DTF, DTG, Screen printing, Embroidery etc.

Accessories to Complete the Look
T-shirts might be the headline act, but accessories add extra value and make it easy to upsell.

The BG125 Bagbase Original Fashion Backpack and BG110 Gymsack are also smart additions, especially for events where attendees are on the move.
