The ringer tee never really went away. It just waited for the right moment to come back, and that moment has been going strong for a while now. The Tultex 246 delivers the classic ringer look wholesale buyers have been asking for — a contrasting collar and sleeve bands on a 4.5-ounce 50/50 cotton/poly fine jersey body that wears comfortably and prints cleanly.
Boutique brands, vintage-inspired merch programs, music event tees, and retro-themed custom printing jobs all land naturally on the 246. The two-tone construction means your decoration is working against a built-in design element, so bold graphics and simple text prints tend to pop especially well. The 50/50 blend adds a bit of stretch and softness over straight cotton, and the fine jersey surface keeps things smooth for printing.
Available in sizes S through 2XL across a range of color combinations.
For a clean single-color alternative in the same fabric family, the Tultex 202 Fine Jersey T-Shirt is the natural companion. If you’re building a vintage-themed collection, the two styles work well together.
FAQ
What color combinations are available on the Tultex 246? The 246 comes in several classic ringer combos — typically a white body with a contrasting color on the collar and sleeves. Check the color selector for the current available options.
Is the ringer tee good for screen printing? Yes, the fine jersey surface prints well. Keep in mind that the contrasting collar and sleeve bands are part of the garment construction, so your print area is on the body of the shirt. Most decorators treat it like a standard tee for placement purposes.
How does sizing run? The 246 runs in standard unisex sizing from S through 2XL. Note the size range is smaller than some other Tultex styles, so it works best for programs where extended sizes aren’t a requirement
