Of everything in this session, the Champion Heritage Cropped Tee gets the most direct search interest, and for good reason. It is a real, current catalog item, it is the only Champion tee Bear Grips carries, and the cropped, boxy silhouette is exactly what boutique studios and women's gyms have been asking for. Here is what the piece is, who buys it, and how to print on it.

The Champion Heritage Cropped Tee, Specifically

The Women's Heritage Cropped Tee is a Champion piece with a free plan base price of $35.95 and a VIP base price of $29.88, an $6.07 saving on VIP. It is built as a cropped, boxy cut sized for women, not a men's or unisex tee shortened after the fact. Exact garment measurements are shown on the product page in the shop builder at the time you add it.

Design Placement on a Cropped Cut

Because the tee is shorter than a standard tee, a design meant to sit low on a regular tee should shift up. Center-chest logos read cleanest. Larger front graphics can run close to the hem on a cropped cut, so it is worth checking the product mockup before publishing a design that runs the full front.

Sizing Notes for the Cropped Tee

Boxy, cropped cuts commonly run shorter in body length than a standard tee at the same letter size. Check the exact size chart on the product page rather than assuming a usual tee size, especially for length. A full sizing walkthrough for every Champion piece is in the size chart guide linked below.
