CVC stands for chief value cotton, typically a 60% cotton and 40% polyester blend. It splits the difference between 100% cotton (soft, heavier, less shape retention) and 100% polyester (stronger shape retention, less breathable feel). Many buyers describe CVC tees as softer than a standard cotton crew straight out of the pack.
The athletic cut version of this tee style runs closer through the body and sleeve than a standard boxy crew. Anyone who prefers a looser, more relaxed fit typically sizes up one size from their usual tee size when choosing the athletic cut.
