What CVC Fabric Actually Means
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.
Athletic Cut vs Standard Fit
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.

Printing on CVC Fabric
CVC blends take screen printing cleanly and hold color well through repeated washing, similar to a standard cotton tee. The poly content in the blend helps the shirt hold its shape slightly better over time than 100% cotton, without the fully synthetic feel of a performance polyester tee.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
What does CVC stand for on a Next Level tee?
Chief value cotton, a cotton and polyester blend typically around 60/40. It runs softer than plain cotton and holds shape slightly better.
Is the CVC crew the same as a triblend tee?
No. A triblend adds rayon into the mix (cotton, polyester, rayon) for an even softer, more heathered look. CVC is a two-fiber blend without rayon.
Should I size up on the athletic cut?
If you prefer a looser fit, size up one size from your usual tee. The athletic cut runs closer to the body than a standard crew.
Is there a minimum order for this tee?
No. It prints one piece at a time at the listed base price, the same as any other item in the catalog.
