About the DT132Y
The District DT132Y brings the Perfect Tri triblend fabric — soft, heathered, and retail-quality — into a youth long-sleeve format. For boutique children’s brands, lifestyle programs that extend into youth sizing, and school or team programs that want something more elevated than a standard cotton long-sleeve, the DT132Y is a natural choice. The triblend construction gives it the characteristic softness and drape that parents and kids both notice, and the heathered colors give finished pieces a fashion-forward aesthetic that standard youth tees can’t replicate.
The long-sleeve format makes it versatile for fall and winter programs, layering under jackets, and year-round lifestyle use. The sideseamed construction gives the youth fit more shape than a tubular-knit alternative, and the tear away label keeps the neck clean for custom branding. Screen printing works well on the lighter heather colorways, and the soft triblend surface gives printed designs a naturally softened quality that works particularly well for boutique and lifestyle programs.
For the adult version in the same Perfect Tri long-sleeve construction, the District DT132 Adult Perfect Tri Long Sleeve Tee is the natural companion for mixed-age programs. For a youth short-sleeve triblend option, the Next Level 6310 Youth Triblend T-Shirt covers the short-sleeve category. For a youth long-sleeve in 100% cotton at a lower price point, the Jerzees 363L Classics Unisex Cotton Long Sleeve T-Shirt is worth comparing.
FAQ
What is the Perfect Tri fabric?
Perfect Tri is District’s name for their 50/25/25 polyester/ring-spun cotton/rayon triblend construction. The three-fiber mix produces a soft, drapey hand feel with a subtle heathered texture that reads as retail-quality. The rayon content is what gives it the characteristic drape and softness that standard cotton or cotton/poly tees don’t have.
How does a triblend long sleeve wear compared to a cotton long sleeve?
The triblend is noticeably softer and more drapey than a standard cotton long-sleeve. It is lighter weight at 4.3 ounces compared to most cotton long-sleeves in the 5 to 6 ounce range, which makes it more comfortable for mild weather and active use but less warm for cold weather programs.
What sizes are available?
Youth XS through XL.
