now i will say it's nice to see apparel suppliers with so much more inventory this year than say
this time last year giving us as apparel decorators so many more options this summer so
let's get right into it starting with the biggest trend so far cropped styles now this year those
cropped hemlines are really rising in popularity for this season these fashionable women's styles
are popular not only in the tank tops but also in t-shirt and crew neck styles too now don't
be surprised if you continue to see the cropped crewneck sweatshirt styles like the district 1105
hoodies and even quarter zips like the district 611 stay in style as we move
into the colder months after summer now the first one i want to talk about is the bella canvas
8483 women's festival cropped tank now this brand new offering from bella canvas really hits on this
growing trend with a raw edge sleeve and a loose fit body it is perfect for summer with a very
awesome fashion forward style it's a tri blend too so it's nice and comfy available in seven
different colors next up is the next level 50 80 festival crop top kind of the same as that bella
canvas style just maybe a little bit lower on the price point and this is not just limited to tank
tops this brand new crew neck t-shirt style from next level is heavily southern california inspired
featuring a modest cut with a length that fits just above the belly button now expect to see
this 6535 cotton poly blend available in 15 different colorways throughout this season
the next option is the district dt 488 scorecard crop tea i love this one now district's crop tea
brings in a little athletic flavor to the cropped t-shirt trend with this distressed printed stripes
on each sleeve for a very uh unique vintage vibe in a 60 40 cotton poly blend
it's comfortable with a nice throwback inspired style now next up is tank tops and muscle tees
now what would summer be without the trusty sun's out guns out tank tops since we already covered a
cropped tank style let's dive into some more standard options starting with a sustainable
eco-friendly option and that is the all made al2019 unisex tri-blend tank now all maid's
entire product line is focused on sustainability and this tri-blend tank top is no exception
featuring a 4.2 ounce fabric made from up to six recycled plastic bottles there is no match for
this eco-friendly tank top next is the port and company pc 099 tt beach wash garment dyed tank top
port and company's beach wash garment line is just fantastic now offering similar cuts and color ways
as the comfort colors line but at a fraction of the price which is why i have to mention them here
these are available in nine vintage inspired colorways this 100 cotton tank is a sure
bet for any laid back tank tops this summer next we'll talk about the port and company pc 147 tt
tie dye tank top this unisex tank top brings in the popular tie dye look on an affordable 5.4
ounce 100 cotton blank available in six colors ranging from patriotic to pastel next let's talk
about the district dm138l now this is the women's perfect tri racerback tank now this racerback tank
wins not only in its low low low cost but the perfect mixture of softness and comfort this
tri-blend tank is awesome with tear-away labels curved hems and a premium back neck tape available
in 14 heather colors now this next one has been popular for past summers and it's probably going
to be popular again this summer and that's the district dt 6302 women's very important tea
gathered back tank now this 100 combed ring spun cotton tee has a gathered back for a nice
comfortable premium feel with eight color ways and a tear away label is an easy to decorate option
on a low low cost but a very premium feel pretty much why i love the entire district line they
all wear like a garment that costs three times as much as they actually do it'll leave you and
your customers stoked not to mention your wallet next up of course is t-shirts now t-shirts reign
supreme here in the apparel decorating industry and summer time is no different with the rise
of garment dyed popularity in recent years this summer looks like those eye-catching colors are
here to stay also sticking around those two-tone crystal and tie-dyed tees like the pc-145 that's
the port and company crystal tie-dye tee now this hand-dyed tee is super unique you may have
even seen it in some of our past videos it comes ready to decorate perfect for emulating that home
dyed or bleached look these two-tone designs on a mid-weight 5.4 ounce 100 cotton tee have been
and still will be popular for months to come not to mention the eight available color combinations
make it easy to find a color for any project next is the pc-099 beach wash garment
now port and company has been one of my absolute favorite brands in the blank apparel business
because of a few different reasons number one the cost number two the quality and number
three the innovation constantly adapting to the customer needs and really filling in at a super
profitable price point this pigment dyed 100 cotton option is no different available in a
huge color selection with 25 color options this tee has a great worn in vintage feel similar to
comfort colors again but at a mere fraction of the price just like the tank top the entire port
and company beach wash line is available in youth long sleeve and even in those specialty pocket tea
options too next we got to talk about the next level 7410 unisex inspired dyed t-shirt now this
is similar to the portland company's beach wash line next level just introduced this inspired
dye line the unisex 100 combed ring spun cotton shirt comes with a mid-weight 5.1 ounce fabric
available in 10 retro inspired colorways with that premium next level softness
and fit next one we got to talk about here is the district dt 104 district perfect weight t
now this everyday wear tee has been my go-to recently not just for its price spoiler alert
it is incredibly affordable but it's comfortable everyday fit it's not too fitted and not too
loose and it fits really good through the chest and shoulders and opens up down on the abdomen
it's available in 24 different colors too there's one for your project expect the popularity of this
style to grow in the coming months as a standard go-to tee for apparel decorators it has an easy
tearaway label that makes this a premium profit packed choice for brands on any budget this
option is also available in a women's version as the dm104l now of course if we are talking t's we
have to talk about the gold standard for the past couple years for apparel decorators and that is
of course the next level 3600 and the bella canvas 3001 regardless of the season decorators from etsy
to the largest contract screen printing shops count on these two blanks for a premium fit and
feel for the next style we're going to talk about it is raglans summertime is for backyard barbecues
beach trips and of course baseball so we have to mention the popular summer raglands
for that sport styled look side note on raglans 2 it's very interesting to see more and more garment
manufacturers offer just standard t-shirts with the raglan shoulder seams instead of the standard
shoulder seams i personally like the way they fit and feel it gives me a little bit more room on the
shoulder and in the armpit so i'm very happy to see this trend but the first raglan that
we have to talk about is the district dt 6210 very important tea three-quarter sleeve raglan
now just like the other district styles this ring-spun cotton tee is comfortable to wear
and offers a true three-quarter sleeve raglan at a very attractive price for decorators with heather
colorways available in 50 50 or 90 10 cotton poly blends and a slightly slim cut body this raglan
is perfect on or off the field now just like i was mentioning with those t-shirts the next level 3650
unisex cotton raglan t-shirt fits this niche now this next level style gives you that casual
relaxed fit in a short sleeve raglan tee with a 100 cotton ring spun fabric perfect for decorating
now this is also perfect for the everyday athletic look with the color block sleeves available in 12
different color combinations including a solid all black sleeve and black body version don't forget
you could decorate so much more than just t-shirts and tank tops with your heat press so we have to
mention some easy popular accessories first up the port authority bg512 six can cube cooler a profit
packed portable cooler option with 100 denier honeycomb polyester perfect for low temperature
applications next the port authority bg 421 beach wash tote this pigment retro inspired 100
cotton tote bag makes decorating easy and is an affordable option for any summer tote bag project
and with eight colorways you've got plenty of options perfect for your next job next is the
port authority bg910 ultimate hit pack with those 90s styles still in fashion here bringing back the
fanny packs with this durable ballistic polyester hip pack available in black or slate now the last
one we're going to talk about here is the port authority pt400 grommeted hem towel now of course
we can't forget about golf this summer and these grommeted budget-friendly towels are a great
add-on for any printing you're doing for country clubs or golf tournaments the 100 cotton terry
towel takes heat transfers like a champ and is one of my favorite canvases for our plastisol ink goof
