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
