FAQs
Start with the end customer in mind. If you sell to parents who care about softness and brand recognition, the Bella + Canvas 3001Y (Trending) or Gildan 5000B (Best Seller) are safe bets. If your audience skews toward vintage aesthetics, the Comfort Colors 9018 Youth Garment-Dyed Heavyweight Tee stands out with its washed, lived-in look that no basic blank can replicate.
CVC stands for Chief Value Cotton, a cotton-polyester blend that is softer, lighter, and more resistant to shrinking than 100% cotton. The Next Level 3312 Youth CVC Tee is a great pick for kids’ stores because it holds its shape after repeated washes, which is a real selling point for parents who know kids’ clothes take a beating.
Yes. The Next Level 3710 Youth Girls’ Cotton Princess Tee has a feminine cut with side seams and a slightly tapered fit, making it a much better option than a unisex tee for girls’ fashion brands or boutique children’s stores. It is one of the few gender-specific cuts in the kids’ tee category.
For neon and high-saturation designs, white or light-colored bases always produce the most vibrant DTG prints. Gooten offers white across nearly all 26 products in this category. If you want the shirt itself to pop, look at options available in Neon Green, Neon Pink, or Neon Blue colorways, which are available across several models.
Absolutely. Gooten has 4 long sleeve options within the kids’ tee category, including the Bella + Canvas 3501Y Youth Jersey Long Sleeve Tee and the Gildan 5400B Youth Heavy Cotton Long Sleeve Tee. These let you run seasonal collections without needing to source from a different supplier or category.
Both are Gildan youth heavy cotton tees, but the 5000B is the Best Seller and has a slightly wider size range and broader color availability. The 2000B is a newer addition. If you are just starting out, the 5000B is the safer choice due to its proven track record and customer familiarity.
The Next Level 3352 Youth CVC Three-Quarter Sleeve Raglan Tee is purpose-built for this. The raglan sleeve construction and two-tone colorways (like White/Black, White/Red, White/True Royal) give it an instant athletic look that works perfectly for team names, numbers, and sports graphics.
This is a common issue with kids’ apparel. It is strongly recommended to include a size chart in every product listing and note the brand name so parents can cross-reference. Brands like Rabbit Skins tend to run true to size for infants and toddlers, while Gildan youth sizes can vary. Gooten provides size specs on each individual product page.
In most cases yes, but with one important caveat: the print area on kids’ tees is smaller than on adult sizes. A design that fills the chest on an adult XL will look oversized or get cropped on a youth small. Always check Gooten’s print area dimensions per product and resize your artwork accordingly before publishing.
