What is a sueded t-shirt?

One whose surface has been mechanically abraded to raise a very short nap, giving a peached, brushed hand. It is a finish applied to the fabric rather than a coating, so it does not wash off.

Is the 6410 the same as the 6210?

Same 60/40 CVC fabric and the same pattern through the body, with the 6410 sueded and stopping at 3XL. The sueded face feels softer and pills a little sooner.

Does sueded fabric affect printing?

It can. The raised nap sits between the ink and the fabric, so thin lines and small type hold less crisply than on a smooth face. Worth a test print before approving detailed artwork.

Next Level 6410 Size Chart

Adult CVC Sueded Tee. Brands publish two different tables and call both a size chart, so both are below and each says which it is.

Garment measurements

The shirt itself, laid flat on a table. Chest is measured across, one inch below the armhole, so it is half the way round.

Size	Body length at back	Chest	Set-in sleeve length
XS	27"	17 1/2"	7 1/4"
S	28"	19"	7 3/4"
M	29"	20 1/2"	8 1/4"
L	30"	22"	8 3/4"
XL	31"	24"	9 1/4"
2XL	32"	26"	9 3/4"
3XL	33"	28"	10 1/4"

Body length at back: Measured from high point shoulder to finished hem at back.
Chest: Measured across the chest one inch below armhole when laid flat.
Set-in sleeve length: Measured from centre back neck to shoulder point to sleeve hem.

Body measurements

The person, not the shirt. Chest is measured all the way around the fullest part with the tape horizontal.

Size	Chest
XS	32" – 35"
S	35" – 38"
M	38" – 41"
L	41" – 44"
XL	44" – 48"
2XL	48" – 52"

1x1 rib knit neck, shoulder to shoulder taping, side seamed
Transitioning from satin to tear-away labels; an order may contain both

What the numbers mean in practice

The same pattern as the 3600 and the 6210 through the body, stopping at 3XL rather than 6XL.

Sueding is a mechanical finish: the fabric surface is abraded to raise a very short nap, which is what gives the shirt its peached, brushed hand. It is done to the fabric, not added to it, so it does not wash out — but it does raise fibre ends, which means a sueded shirt pills sooner than the smooth-faced 6210 it is otherwise identical to.

That raised nap also sits between the ink and the fabric. Fine detail and small type hold less crisply on a sueded surface than on a smooth one, which is worth knowing before approving artwork with thin lines.

The 25 colours we stock
