Hanes
Youth Essential-T T-Shirt
At PrintHabit we bring the trusted comfort of Hanes to your brand with the Youth Essential‑T (style 5480). Since 1901 Hanes has been a staple in American wardrobes, and this classic crew‑neck is a favorite for schools, sports teams, and youth organizations because it’s soft, preshrunk and built to last. You can choose from 31 vibrant colors and sizes XS through XL, with fabric options ranging from 100 % cotton to cotton‑poly blends that stay breathable and durable. Each shirt weighs a comfortable 5‑6 oz and meets sustainable manufacturing standards, so you feel good about every order. Whether you need a handful of shirts for a club or a bulk run for a fundraiser, we keep minimums low—just 24 pieces for screen printing, and flexible DTF or dye‑sublimation options with no extra minimum. Our decoration methods give you sharp, full‑color designs that won’t fade. Ready to outfit your crew with custom Hanes 5480 tees? Let’s get printing.
