Harriton M320 Mens Athletic Sport T-Shirt, regularly priced at $ 11.98 is now on sale for $ 10.18 with no minimum from 9/04/12 thru 9/11 at Crooked Brook.
The M320 is made of 100% polyester with 40 UPF on white and 30 UPF on other colors along with moisture wicking properties. This T-shirt is side seamed, with a self-fabric collar, set-in sleeves, double needle stitching on sleeve and bottom hem, and an anti-microbial treatment that prevents odors from perspiration.
Polyester performance T-shirts help improve physical performance by supporting the bodys natural temperature regulating mechanism. Unlike cotton T-shirts that trap moisture and become heavy and clingy, polyester performance T-shirts pull perspiration away from skin and transport it to the surface of the shirt, where it evaporates rapidly. They work great in hot weather, but theyre also a great choice in cooler temperatures, since they wont become damp and chilly like cotton shirts can.

Colors: White, Black, Dark Green, Maroon, Navy, Red, Team Orange, True Royal
About T-Shirts
The t-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 19th century, through cutting the one-piece “union suit” underwear into separate top and bottom garments, with the top long enough to tuck under the waistband of the bottoms. By the Great Depression, the t-shirt was often the default garment to be worn when doing farm or ranch chores, as well as other times when modesty called for a torso covering but conditions called for lightweight fabrics.
T-shirts, with and without buttons, were adopted by miners and stevedores during the late 19th century as a convenient covering for hot environments.
T-shirts, as a slip-on garment without buttons, originally became popular in the United States when they were issued by the U.S. Navy during or following the Spanish American War. These were a crew-necked, short-sleeved, white cotton undershirt to be worn under a uniform. It became common for sailors and Marines in work parties, the early submarines, and tropical climates to remove their uniform “jacket”, wearing (and soiling) only the undershirt.
Named the t-shirt due to the shape of the garment’s outline, it soon became popular as a bottom layer of clothing for workers in various industries, including agriculture. The t-shirt was easily fitted, easily cleaned, were made in various colors and patterns and inexpensive, and for this reason it became the shirt of choice for young boys.
Basic t-shirts are staples in the promotional products industry and it is important that vendors understand their clients budget and needs right from the start. A vendors presentation should always include at least three levels of basic T-shirts so customers can see and feel the differences. 50/50 t-shirts are a great value; their low price and durability from the blend of cotton and polyester make them a customer favorite. However, 100% cotton t-shirts offer the softness and comfort many customers want for their promotional pieces. When looking for a substantial and ultra soft t-shirt, 100% ringspun cotton t-shirts are the way to go.
Although the most popular method of printing t-shirts is screen printing, Crooked Brook t-shirts are printed using Direct To Garment Printing (DTG) which is the process of using inkjet printers to print an image directly onto t-shirts without the use of screens like with screen printing, which requires a lot of setup e.g., creating screens for each color. In addition, DTG printing uses eco-friendly, water soluble ink, unlike some screen printing methods that layer Plastisol (a suspension of PVC particles in a plasticizer) on top of the t-shirt. The only requirement for DTG printing is for the image to be high resolution, resulting in photograph quality printing with no setup fee or minimums for custom t-shirts.
