Comfort Colors 1717 Tee Fit Guide
The Comfort Colors 1717 is the heavy, lived-in tee. Each shirt is sewn first and dyed afterward, which gives it a soft, slightly faded color and a worn-in feel straight out of the package. It is the blank behind most of our cottagecore tees.
- Fit: Relaxed unisex, a little boxy, with a dropped shoulder
- Fabric: 100% ring-spun cotton, 6.1 oz
- Feel: Thick and soft, broken-in from day one
- Sizes: S to 4XL
Fabric and Feel
- Heavyweight 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton that softens further with every wash
- Garment-dyed after sewing, so the color sits in the fabric rather than on it and reads slightly faded and vintage
- Ribbed collar, twill-taped neck and shoulders, and double-needle hems that keep their shape
- Because each shirt is dyed individually, no two are exactly the same shade. That is part of the look
Fit and Sizing
The 1717 runs roomy. Most people order their usual size for the relaxed look it is known for, and size down for a more fitted look. If you are between sizes and unsure, stay with your usual size.

FAQ
Does the Comfort Colors 1717 run big?
Yes, it is cut relaxed and a little boxy. Order your usual size for the classic Comfort Colors look, or size down for a closer fit.
Is it thick?
It is a heavyweight tee at 6.1 oz, noticeably thicker than a standard fashion tee, but the ring-spun cotton keeps it soft rather than stiff.
Will it shrink?
Very little. The garment-dye process pre-shrinks the cotton. Hot water and high heat can still tighten it a bit, so wash cold and dry low.
Why does my shirt look a slightly different shade than the photo?
Every shirt is dyed after it is sewn, so shade varies a little from one to the next. It is a feature of garment-dyed cotton, not a flaw.
