Essential-T Tall T-Shirt
As low as $7.26/each
You’ll love the versatility of the Hanes 5280T Essential‑Tall T‑Shirt, a comfortable, eco‑friendly tee that’s perfect for your brand or event. Made from a soft 5‑5.9 oz blend of cotton, polyester or a 50/50 cotton/poly mix, it feels breathable yet durable for everyday wear. Choose from five classic colors and a range of tall sizes—from LT up to 4XLT—so every team member gets a perfect fit. Our low minimums let you order just what you need, and with screen printing you’ll meet a modest 24‑piece minimum, while DTF and dye‑sublimation have no extra constraints. The fabric’s tear‑away label and smooth, ribbed crewneck collar add a professional finish that showcases your artwork in vivid detail. Because the shirts are produced in a facility powered by at least 50 % renewable energy and certified under the Higg Index, you can feel good about supporting sustainable, socially conscious manufacturing. Whether you’re outfitting a local business, a sports squad, or a nationwide campaign, these custom Hanes 5280T shirts deliver high‑quality branding with a responsible edge.
