We’ve printed, pressed, and passed thousands of shirts through 320+ degree heat and found the long sleeve shirts mentioned in this article to handle the pressure well and still look good after washing.

Out of 10 different long sleeves shirts we’ve reviewed, we found the three long sleeves that meet our high-quality standards with soft fabrics and the look and appeal of a quality garment.

Here they are, from Good to Great the top 3 high-quality blank Long Sleeve t-shirts you can use to print on.

1.  Bella Canvas Jersey 3501 Long Sleeve T-Shirt 

If you’re looking for a Soft,  Silky, Light Weight Long Sleeve then the Bela Canvas Long Sleeve Jersey 3501 is an excellent pick. Flexible in materials super smooth and comfy the Bella Canvas 3501 almost feels like a sport shirt but with a casual sense of style.

The Bella Canvas Long Sleeve 3501 comes in multiple blends like the Tri-blend 52/48 combed ringspun cotton and polyester blends, 90 /10 Cotton/ polyester, and 100% cotton.

With over 18 colors to choose from, mostly in earth tones and dark Colors, the Bella Canvas 3501 offers a basic color palette.

When compared in a fitting test, the fit and style of the Bella Canvas 3501 hug the body a bit tighter than the rest of the long sleeve shirts mentioned in this post.

The length in the sleeves and torso are just right not too long and not too short not too baggy and comfortable to wear as an undershirt.

At 4.2 oz with the 100% Cotton shirts and 3.8 oz with the tri-blend makes the Bella Canvas 3501 is the lightest long Sleeve mentioned in this post. Fine Quality at a fair price and super soft materials make the Bella Canvas 3501 our favorite long-sleeve shirt to wear and print on.

2. Comfort Colors Heavyweight 6014

The most original color options and the heaviest material have to go to the Comfort Colors 6014. Weighing in at 6.1 oz the Comfort Colors Heavyweight 6014 is the thickest out of the other two long sleeves mentioned in this post.

A pre-shrunk 100%  ringspun cotton long-sleeve t-shirt that is unique in the natural color options it offers.

With a thick soft cotton vintage look and a modern style the 6014 long sleeves, fits in the Yoga / Bohemian style cut and vibe for this long-sleeve shirt. A Premium brand like the Comfort Colors 6014 is priced higher than both long sleeve shirts mentioned in this article.

The fabric however and attention to detail is what make this long sleeve a premium brand, because of the high standard of quality in the manufacturing and construction.

The bummer is that the tag is not a tear away like the Anvil 784, but it’s pretty easy to tear away without damaging or loosening up any of the stitching on the collar.

The only thing that we didn’t like is the price of the Comfort Colors Long Sleeve, that said if the great quality is what you’re looking for that feels like no other shirt, the comfort colors come in second place.

Although the Comfort Color Long Sleeve looks and feels quite unique from other shirts you still have to factor in the print cost and set-up fees when going to production.

I would consider the Comfort Color Long Sleeve 6014 only as a Limited Edition type of shirt for those special releases and or a special catalog edition where only a few get printed and are sold at a higher price point than the average premium shirt.

With over 31 colors to choose from the Comfort Colors 6014 Long Sleeve has plenty of options to use as a blank canvas for any color combinations you can creatively come up with.

The fitting and length are perfect for my size, I wear a size medium at 5’7″. Overall if were to classify this shirt I would place this long sleeve in the High-End Hippy / Yoga / Surf Apparel for its coziness and natural feel. The colors are a vintage bohemian classic that looks fresh and clean.

3. M&O Gold Soft Touch Long Sleeve T-Shirt 4820

The M&O Soft Touch Long Sleeve 4820 is a midweight 100% pre-shrunk cotton, long-sleeve t-shirt weighing in at 5.0 oz. The first thing that stood out to me was the soft yet weighty material. You can see right away that this long sleeve feels soft and is a good quality long-sleeve tee.

The cotton material is dense yet smooth and soft to the touch, this makes for a great printing surface for plastisol and water-based inks.

The M&O Soft Touch Long Sleeve 4820 also comes with a super convenient Tear Away Label which makes the M&O 4820 is one of our favorite long-sleeve t-shirts to use when printing the size labels for t-shirts.

Most Long Sleeves and other apparel have their own tag label sewn into the material making it more of a challenge to remove. Other brands come with an easy tear-away label that leaves your shirt intact without damaging the material when detaching for print.

I would categorize the M&O Gold Soft Touch Long Sleeve under the casual/athletic brand because of its structure and look. The cut and style of the shirt is modern with a relaxed sleeve fit. Not too loose or tight on the body.

The M&O Gold Soft Touch Long Sleeve fits perfectly for my size. I wear a Medium at a 5’7″ height and the length of the sleeves comes with just about 2 inches of extra material, perfect for those with a longer arm reach.

The color options are the only complaint when reviewing the M&O Gold Soft Touch Long Sleeve. With only 7 different colors to choose from, the M&O Gold Soft Touch Long Sleeve is limited in color selection. 

You’ll get only dark neutral colors with the M&O Gold Soft Touch Long Sleeve, but don’t panic. If you’re looking for bright colors the Comfort Colors Heavyweight 6014 is a better option for this. Overall the M&O Long Sleeve 784 is Soft, Comfortable, and reasonably priced for the Quality / Price ratio.

Compared to the other three premium long sleeve mentioned in this article the M&O comes in third place.
