A 100% cotton long sleeve fills a gap that a lot of shops skip: it is too warm for a tee and too light for a hoodie, which makes it one of the most-worn pieces in a wardrobe from early fall through spring. Here is the catalog's cotton long sleeve option, how to size it for men and women, and where to place a design on it.

The 100% Cotton Long Sleeve Option in the Catalog

The Bella+Canvas Long Sleeve Cotton Shirt is priced at $29.88 VIP base ($35.94 on the free plan), a $6.06 savings on VIP. It is a unisex cut, which keeps one listing covering both men's and women's customers rather than stocking two separate long sleeve products.

Design Placement on a Long Sleeve Cotton Shirt

Left chest plus full back is the most-used layout, matching the standard tee approach. The sleeve itself opens up as an extra print zone, useful for a tagline, a small icon, or a website handle running down the upper arm. Back-yoke text below the collar is a subtle option for a website or social handle.

Sizing a Unisex Long Sleeve for Men and Women

The unisex cut runs true to size for most men. Women who want a closer fit typically size down one from their usual tee size. The full size range is shown on the product page in the shop dashboard.

Pricing the Long Sleeve Cotton Shirt

At $29.88 VIP base plus the default $10 profit, a typical retail price lands around $34 to $40, in line with the added fabric and printable area compared to a short-sleeve cotton tee.
