Comfort Colors 1717 Vs. Bella + Canvas 3001 | Which T-Shirt Is Better?

[@KerryEgeler]

Which t-shirt do you think is better? 👇👇👇

[@biggdogfresh2263]

Quick question I wear usually next level small dose the comfort color fit the same or go for a medium because comfort color is 18 3/4 to arm pit pls help

[@CrossMyHeart_clothing]

The Bella Canvas 3001 in vintage black is one of my all time favorite shirts. Looks and feels like an old vintage concert tee

[@BIGPUN4EVER]

I just bought 15 Comfort color shirts, im glad I made the right decision, I was in a bit of a rush. They seem to be exactly what I like, we will see when I get my package. Thanks for the review!

[@KerryEgeler]

You’re very welcome!

[@peachimpeached]

hey hey! what is your opinion about the t shirts CC1717?

[@BIGPUN4EVER]

​​@@peachimpeachedthe shirts where good. I loved them. I ordered almost every color. They definitely gave that vintage kinda worn vibe with some of the colors. I ordered all of them in a XL... my only complaint is the shirts where way too long. The XL fit me almost like a 2XL. In this video he said that they were shorter than the bella canvas... maybe I got defects, idk. But they was way too long, maybe I needed a Large, i did lose alot of weight so that could have been my problem. Quality wise the shirts feel nice. Definitely could see these for a streetwear brand. I just bought them for every day use. If you buy them, i would say get a few to test first. I was in a rush so I didn't have time. Next time I'll try the Large to see if thats better. Good luck!

[@yoyoyo3439]

@@BIGPUN4EVERwhat about the printing? I heard they can fade and get bad after washing, even the shirt material? That’s my concern :( , which colors have that vintage feel? Thats the biggest reason I’m thinking of it

[@BIGPUN4EVER]

@@yoyoyo3439 that can technically happen with any shirt. It depends on the printing materials you use, your heat press, your process etc. The guy in this video printed on the shirt and it looked great, even better than the other bella canvas shirt. As for the shirt material and quality, it is very good. I have washed these shirts a dozen times already and they still feel good and maintained the quality. They all have that worn in feel to them, the black isn't super deep black, more of a vintage black. The white shirts are normal. The espresso brown, hemp green, Navy blue, True Navy blue, Denim blue, khaki, ivory, all had that vintage vibe kind of look to them. The espresso brown is really nice for that, any of those would work for that but the brown was my favorite. The shirts have a good medium softness and thickness. I'm one of those guys who likes heavy thick tshirts, these were not super thick shirts but I was happy with them, so that says alot. They are thick enough where it doesn't feel cheap or too thin. If I received this shirt as something I ordered from someone as a custom print, I would be happy with it. I recommend buying a few shirts first though to see if its what you want before making a big order. My only complaint was the length, the XL was too long for me but maybe i needed a Large. I bought mine from jiffyshirts.com

Thanks for this review 🙌🙌! The 1717 mock ups look different on different sites so I couldn't tell if that vintage washed look was standard. This helped a ton.

I'm unable to buy all the samples so this type of video is extremely helpful! Can you do this type of video with the most popular sweatshirts?

[@kathywalters3811]

Right now I sell T-shirts locally, to small businesses, groups and individuals. I prefer Gildan 64000 over the B+C 3001, but I have not tried the Comfort Colors.. yet. I will be testing them soon. I think each have their place. I think the more vibrant design on a vintage feel and worn look tee is a mis-match. I think the 1717 needs a more faded/worn design. Thanks for the content! Very helpful!

[@KerryEgeler]

Absolutely!

[@MentalPistol]

Gildan 64000 feels marvelous on the body, but collar stretches out something crazy.. and FAST. Same with the 5000, the collars just arent built to hold shape. I'm hearing that the sturdiest Gildan is the 2000, but I havent check it out yet. Next Level and AS Colour is what I've been rocking with.

[@ikendoitdotstudio]

I will 99% of the time recommend Comfort Colors 1717 for those who don't want to break into the $7/tee blank range. Gildan Hammer is a great option too (H000) compared to 64000

[@MentalPistol]

@@ikendoitdotstudio Hows the neck on it tho? Looking for a nice tightish circle that doesnt stretch out easily.

[@MyCozyLife-Lisa]

I haven’t tried comfort colors yet and absolutely love Bella + Canvas. My only complaint about them is that I’ve had countless shirts where the bottom hem starts unraveling after the first wear. It stinks because I love all other aspects of the shirt. I’m about to try out comfort colors so I’ll see how it goes. I think I’ll take your advice and order a size up. Thanks for the informative video.

[@KerryEgeler]

You bet!

[@747dom]

Rant warning: I cannot stand that Bella Canvas 3001, I don't get the hype. No brick-and-mortar store I've ever shopped at (motorcycle shops, surfwear, etc) ever has that tissue-thin 3001 or 64000 shite on their shelves. It feels cheap. Additionally, I don't think the "heavyweight" shirts are too hot for summer, I think "heavyweight" in most tshirt blanks is misleading anyway, to me thats "normal" weight. Maybe it's a guy vs girl thing as far as fabric weight, but its like the 3001 and the Gildan 64000 are made for POD: easy to sell and print on because no-one gets to touch it before they buy. We need someone to bring some quality to POD with decent shirts at an affordable price. Rant over 🎤

[@arsenic3714]

It is pretty thin and that’s why I started not to like it

[@JesusGomez-bc2zr]

If you're into heavyweight t shirts Bella + Canvas offers the 3010, 100% Airlume cotton.

[@747dom]

@@JesusGomez-bc2zr thanks, I'll check it out.👍

[@Bigboigoinlong]

It depends on your body ngl. I am short and fat and the comfort colors is the best shirt that fits my body. I still have to hem the bottom as every XL shirt is too long for me, but that’s not a big deal to me. I’m also trans non-binary and the boxy fit doesn’t show my hips as much, which is really ideal. I bought a shirt from dropout that used the Bella canvas 3001 and it shrunk in the wash and so it clings to my body. I’m not a fan. It’s now become a stay at home shirt instead of a shirt I wear out as opposed to my comfort colors shirt. Also ngl, I will say that the comfort colors shirt looked better on you, but that’s me. The long shirt style is just kinda meh to me. I don’t like it, it reminds me of early 2000s fashion that I don’t want to go back to. (Even though gen z and alpha are starting to bring back that style) I’d also like to just put it out there that comfort colors is like the only brand out there that people like actually ask businesses to start printing in. It’s becoming a staple and standard for quality t-shirts. That fact alone should be considered as to what you want to go with for your business. It shouldn’t be about some random person’s preference, but what style fits your brand and which one will sell better. That’s my take at least.

[@austinjacob99]

Two questions! What shirt are you wearing in the video (the black shirt)? The fit looks excellent. And second, do you know of a shirt that fits and feels like the comfort colors, but with longer sleeve length (still short sleeve, but just more sleeve length)? Thank you!!

[@KerryEgeler]

The comfort colors is pretty unique with regards to the vintage feel and color selection. Nothing comes to mind right away.

[@gavinnguyen173]

Looks like a lululemon shirt base on the 3 stripe design at the shoulder

[@candyjarstudios]

Which one is more breathable for summer?

[@KerryEgeler]

The 3001 for sure

[@cathychats]

Thanks!

[@loicknosal]

And if you decide to sell the Comfort Colors 1717 (which can be found for around 16 euros on POD sites), what do you estimate is a good selling price for this quality of t-shirt and to have a comfortable margin? That customers are satisfied with the quality/price ratio?

[@KerryEgeler]

I recommend 60% profit margins on T-Shirts

[@loicknosal]

@@KerryEgeler thank you !

[@consumeboxing]

That Comfort Colors 1717 has a great contouring fit, feels amazing, and good weight to it; however, not too fond of the artificial distressed look. the BC3001 CVC feels and fits amazing too and it's lightweight. If you want a distress look with weight than CC1717. If you want a lightweight garment with a more solid dyed than BC3001 CVC.

[@MentalPistol]

T--Shirt cats always overlook that ppl are very concerned about the collars. The size of opening and the overall strength. Bella Canvas 3001 generally has a very loose collar. That works with certain aesthetics and the hipster crowd, but in urban fashion. cats like to look a lil more smoothed and dont like to walk around with the top of their chests showing. Next Level shirts keep a nice circle around your neck that doesnt show all your collarbone, and on top of that, keeps its shape forever. I cant speak for comfort colors yet.

[@KerryEgeler]

This is good feedback that I can add to the next videos. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@micmicbungee355]

Hi, I'm trying to find a good tee for my store. May I know if the code of the T-shirt you mentioned is Next Level 3600?

[@MentalPistol]

@@micmicbungee355 Yes it is

[@CrossMyHeart_clothing]

Although the CC1717 looks more vibrant, the print will flake off soon. DTG and garment dyed shirts are not a good mix

[@KerryEgeler]

That’s really interesting to know!

[@Je-Suke]

100%. It flakes off like a mfer. I've used comfort colors for embroidery work but avoid DTG.

[@yoyoyo3439]

So we can’t use CC1717?

[@dashingbooks3436]

Comfort Colors is the better fabric and more generous cut. The colors are more sophisticated.

[@KerryEgeler]

🔥

[@tektonnik3336]

So I get the Unisex garment dyed T for my clothing brand, and its by comfort colors. However after just one wash with these shirts, my logo and the text and color all gets choppy and faded drastically. Is there a reason for this?

[@KerryEgeler]

Someone else here in the comments mentioned that DTG printing doesn’t mesh well with garment dyed t-shirts. This hasn’t been my experience but does happen sometimes.

[@Vehemence111]

Quick note: on the comfort colors. Printful doesn’t remove tags. Aplliq does!! ❤ It takes three weeks to arrive. HOWEVER I was on the look out for the email to approve. And I approved the following day from ordering. Printful arrived today. 9/17. Ordered last Wednesday. Appliq arrives the 20th. That was not three weeks. They claim they are faster ones approved and ready for drop shipping. Even 5-7 days is good for me. I guess if you are “hands on” they will deliver quickly, Also on the Shopify store you can edit the vendor name from appliq to your Happy sales guys! Have a good one

[@sh0rtaznant]

I can't stand the Bella canvas 3001. Can't believe it's so popular. It's like what Mom's with cricuts use to put some "it's wine oclock" or "live love laugh" shirts on. Thin unstructured collar. Unstylish. Unflattering fit. It's not 2018 anymore, "fitted" fits are not the vibe. Ordering 1-2 sizes up on 1717 is solid. I haven't tried the bella canvas 3010 but based on 2 videos from the only guy on KZbin who's done videos on them, the fit looks great for streetwear so apparently they can make something nice.

[@747dom]

100%!!!

[@ShaKing777]

3010 for the streetwear!

[@lancepaddington3938]

It’s also not the 90’s anymore so that ugly oversized shirt style that hides your arm definition is not the vibe

[@ShaKing777]

@lancepaddington3938 I definitely feel what you're saying, but if you see the trend now, baggy is back. No more skinny jeans, oversized shirts, and hoodies, flare legged cargo pants, and jeans. That's the newest wave right now.

[@lancepaddington3938]

@@ShaKing777 Just for teenagers. I doubt that trend will stay around long, too. Skinny jeans and form fitted shirts are still widely popular in the rock and metal world as well, and will probably never go out of style.
