US premium long sleeve

Comfort Colors 6014 — our premium long sleeve

The fabric
A heavyweight 6.1 oz/yd² (207 g/m²) long sleeve in 100% ring-spun US cotton. No polyester, no blends. Same weight and same cotton as our premium tee — this is that shirt with sleeves, not a lighter cousin of it. It has body. It hangs rather than clings, and it holds warmth without turning into a jumper.

Preshrunk through the garment-dye and wash process, so it comes back from the wash the size it went in.

Garment-dyed, which is the whole point
Most shirts are made from fabric that was dyed first, then cut and sewn. This one is sewn first, then dropped into the dye as a finished garment. That's slower, costs more, and it's why the colour sits in the cotton rather than on top of it — soft, slightly faded, the depth you normally only get from something you've owned for a decade.

It also means no two are identical. Small variations in tone are how garment-dyeing works, not a fault.

How it's built
The body is knitted as one continuous tube — no side seams. Most heavy shirts are cut from two panels and stitched down each side to force a shape. This one isn't shaped at all, and that's deliberate: the unstructured drape is what makes an old shirt feel like an old shirt. Relaxed, roomy, slightly boxy. If you want it closer to the body, size down.

Twill-taped neck and shoulders, a 3/4" (1.9 cm) double-needle topstitched collar, ribbed cuffs that grip the wrist instead of sliding down your hand, and a double-needle bottom hem. The cuffs are cotton too — nothing stretchy hiding in them.

The tag stays in
Like our premium tee, this one has a soft woven twill label sewn into the neck rather than a tear-away. It's flat and it's fabric, not plastic — but if you cut every tag out on principle, better you know before it arrives.

Where it comes from
US-grown cotton, sewn in OEKO-TEX certified, Fair Labor Association–partnered factories, using low-impact dyes. Then it comes to us, and we print it after you order it. Never before. No warehouse, no unsold stock, no rush.

This is the heavy one with sleeves — the one you'll keep reaching for from October onwards.
