long sleeve blank t shirt
A long sleeve is not a t-shirt with longer arms. The sleeve changes how the garment hangs, where a print can go, and what the shirt costs — and there are two different ways to measure the same sleeve.
Send the weight, colour, fit and quantity. We return a unit price per quantity tier within 24 hours.
Centre-back length measures from the middle of the back neck, across the shoulder and down the arm. Shoulder-seam length measures from the shoulder seam to the cuff. The first number is always larger, often by 4–6 inches.
If you compare two suppliers using different methods, you will conclude one shirt has a longer sleeve when the measurement simply started somewhere else. Always ask which method the chart uses.
An open hem is cheaper: the sleeve is cut and hemmed like the body. A ribbed cuff costs more but holds the sleeve at the wrist and stops it riding up under a jacket.
For retail, ribbed cuffs read as more finished. For workwear and giveaways, open hems are common and nobody complains.
Long sleeves add two surfaces: the sleeve itself and the cuff area. Sleeve prints are a cheap way to add a second brand mark without paying for a back print.
A full front print on a long sleeve sits higher than on a short sleeve because the shoulder line is different — check the placement before approving artwork.

Long sleeve is a seasonal category: it sells in autumn and winter, and it is the category most likely to be out of stock at the end of the season. If you need it for a December campaign, buy in September.
