In this article, we’ll compare Bella Canvas 3413 vs. 3001 shirt models you can create with print-on-demand.

Comparing Bella Canvas 3413 and 3001

Now, we’ll dive into the nitty-gritty of the t-shirt comparison. What exactly sets these tees apart, and what do they have in common? Let’s find out!

Style

Both t-shirts have a classic fit, also known as a regular fit. A classic fit means the garment’s silhouette neither clings to the body nor hangs too loosely. It offers a comfortable range of motion and a flattering fit for most body types. These shirts provide a lightweight base layer for jackets or sweaters without feeling bulky.

Both of these tees are side-seamed. It means the seams run down both sides, from the armpit area to the hem. Unlike cheaper tees, the front, back, and sleeves are cut individually and stitched together for a more tailored fit. This has several advantages:

• Better fit—contours the body for a more flattering look

• Enhanced comfort—with the fabric following the body’s curves, there’s less bunching or pulling for a more comfortable fit

• Crisper graphics—the fabric composition provides a flat surface for designs, allowing for sharper prints

Fabric composition and weight

For the Bella Canvas 3001 t-shirts, the fabric weighs 4.2 oz./yd.² (142 g/m²), and the composition depends on the color: 

• Solid colors are 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton

• Ash is 99% combed and ring-spun cotton, 1% polyester

• Heather colors are 52% combed and ring-spun cotton, 48% polyester

• Athletic and Black Heather are 90% combed and ring-spun cotton, 10% polyester

• Heather Prism colors are 99% combed and ring-spun cotton, 1% polyester

The ​​Bella Canvas 3413 t-shirt fabric is a tri-blend: 50% polyester, 25% combed ring-spun cotton, and 25% rayon, weighing 3.4 oz./yd.² (115.3 g/m²).

Plus, the fabric for both tees is pre-shrunk for extra durability. Thanks to this, both shirts are exceptionally well-suited for t-shirt printing—the design won’t warp or crack after washing.
