MuleBuy T-Shirts Spreadsheet — Find Your Next Pick
T-shirts might seem simple, but the MuleBuy t-shirts spreadsheet reveals a surprising depth of options. From heavyweight blanks to graphic prints, the quality gap between the best and worst batches is enormous. This gateway page explains how to read the t-shirt section of the MuleBuy spreadsheet, what weight and print method to look for, and which details separate a passable tee from one that actually holds up after multiple washes. The full catalog below contains every current option. This page is your filter — the catalog is your store.
What to Buy
- Heavyweight blanks (220g+) are the safest bet for durability and shape retention.
- For graphic tees, look for screen-printed or DTG descriptions — avoid heat transfer if you want longevity.
- Vintage wash tees are popular but require careful inspection of color consistency.
- Cropped and boxy fits are trending in 2026 — verify the length measurement before ordering.
- Basic packs of 3 or 5 are great value fillers for shipping, but check that each piece is individually described.

Style Direction
- Heavyweight, boxy blanks in neutral tones are the most versatile foundation piece.
- Vintage-washed graphic tees with cracked prints are dominant in streetwear for 2026.
- Minimal logo placement on the chest or back neck is preferred over oversized front prints.
- Cropped and fitted women's cuts are growing in availability but sizing is less consistent.
Common Mistakes
- Buying cheap tees without checking the fabric weight. Anything under 180g will be see-through and misshapen.
- Not understanding print methods. Screen print lasts longer but DTG can look more photorealistic.
- Ignoring neck ribbing quality. A stretched collar ruins the tee after a few wears.
- Ordering graphic tees without checking the print placement in QC photos.
- Buying too many of the same size without knowing the factory's shrink rate.
QC Checklist
- Fabric weight and hand-feel — should be substantial and smooth, not flimsy.
- Neck ribbing quality — should be tight and elastic, not loose.
- Print or embroidery alignment — must be centered and level.
- Print method and durability — screen print is preferred; check for cracking in QC.
- Stitching consistency on the hem and sleeves — should be even and straight.
- Color accuracy under natural light — some colors shift dramatically under studio lighting.
Size Advice
T-shirts are relatively forgiving with sizing, but length matters. If you prefer an oversized fit, add 2-3 inches to your chest measurement and check the length. Shrinkage is common on cotton tees, so size up if you are between sizes. For boxy fits, shoulder width is more important than chest width.
Material Advice
Look for 100% cotton or cotton blends above 85%. 220g+ is the sweet spot for structure. Ring-spun cotton is softer and more durable than carded cotton. For vintage wash tees, the fabric should be pre-shrunk to avoid further distortion after washing. Avoid poly-heavy blends unless you specifically want a performance feel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best fabric weight for a t-shirt?
220g or higher for a substantial feel. 180-200g is acceptable for hot weather but will be lighter.
Do t-shirts shrink?
Yes, especially 100% cotton. Buy pre-shrunk or size up by one if you are unsure.
Are graphic prints durable?
Screen prints are durable. DTG is softer but may fade faster. Heat transfer is the least durable.
How much does shipping cost for t-shirts?
T-shirts are light — $10-18 to the US. They are ideal for combining with heavier items.
