The Next Level 3600 is a 4.3 oz./yd², 100% combed ring-spun cotton unisex tee with a fitted, fashion-forward cut that sits closer to the body than a classic boxy tee. It has a soft hand-feel and takes both screen print and DTF cleanly — true to size for most men; size up one for a more relaxed, retail-style drape.

Is the Next Level 3600 true to size?
Mostly, yes. The 3600 has a fitted, fashion-forward cut that sits closer to the body than a classic boxy tee, so most men should order their normal size. If you want a more relaxed, retail-style drape — or you're between sizes — go up one.
How does the Next Level 3600 compare to the Gildan 2000?
The Gildan 2000 (6 oz., 100% cotton) is heavier and boxier — a budget-friendly workhorse with a roomy, traditional cut. The Next Level 3600 (4.3 oz., combed ring-spun cotton) is lighter, softer, and cut closer to the body for a more tailored, modern look. Pick the 2000 for bulk event tees where fit isn't the focus; pick the 3600 when the shirt itself is part of the look.
How does the Next Level 3600 compare to the Bella+Canvas 3001?
They're close cousins — both are roughly 4.2–4.3 oz. combed, ring-spun cotton with side-seamed construction. The Bella+Canvas 3001 runs a touch more relaxed and tests slightly softer side-by-side; the Next Level 3600 is cut more fitted through the body. Choose the 3001 for a universally flattering relaxed unisex fit, or the 3600 for a more tailored, fashion silhouette.
Will the Next Level 3600 shrink after washing?
A little — like most 100% cotton tees, expect roughly 3–5% shrinkage after the first wash. Wash cold, inside out, and tumble dry low (or hang dry) to protect both the fit and your custom print.
Does it work with screen print or DTF printing?
Both — this page lets you build your design either way. Screen print is the better value at higher quantities with fewer ink colors (dark shirts automatically get a white underbase layer priced in). DTF is full color with no per-color setup cost, so it's the better fit for photo-real logos, gradients, or smaller/mixed-size runs.
What sizes does the Next Level 3600 come in?
XS through 6XL — see the Specs tab for exact body length and chest width at every size. 2XL and 3XL carry a small flat upcharge, applied automatically once you enter a size run above.
