About This Tee

The Bella + Canvas 3413 is a fundamentally different kind of tee — and it’s deliberate about that difference.

The tri-blend formula — 50% polyester, 25% combed ring-spun cotton, 25% rayon — creates a fabric that can’t be replicated with any single-fiber approach. The polyester adds durability and shape retention. The cotton provides the natural, breathable base. The rayon introduces a soft, fluid drape and a subtle sheen. Combined at a high 40-singles yarn count, the result is the lightest, softest, most body-conforming tee in the entire Quotee LeafyOrb collection, at just 3.4 oz.

The real character of the 3413 comes from its naturally heathered, slightly textured appearance — a vintage quality from day one. Colors are slightly muted and tonal rather than bright and solid. The fabric has a subtle stretch that makes it flattering across body types. DTG prints on the 3413 take on a uniquely soft, slightly worn-in quality that synthetic-free cotton can’t produce.

This is the tee that feels like it’s been your favorite for years — from the first time you wear it.


Quote Print Quality on the Bella + Canvas 3413

Softer print hand feel: The polyester and rayon content absorbs DTG ink differently than pure cotton. Prints feel softer to the touch and integrate more naturally into the fabric surface.

Vintage print aesthetic: Colors appear slightly muted and tonal rather than sharply vivid — a quality highly desirable for quote designs with an artistic, nostalgic, or literary character. This is a feature of the fabric, not a limitation.

Sheerness note: The fabric is slightly sheer — particularly in lighter colors. This is disclosed by Bella + Canvas and is a characteristic of the lightweight tri-blend construction.

Design recommendation: The 3413 excels with poetic, literary, or philosophical quotes — designs that benefit from the vintage aesthetic and soft print character. Script fonts, handwritten styles, and typographic designs with artistic intention look particularly compelling on this fabric.

Fit & Sizing Guide

The Bella + Canvas 3413 has a slightly slimmer fit than the regular 3001 — the rayon content gives the fabric a slight stretch that makes it drape closer to the body. If you’re between sizes or prefer a relaxed fit, size up.

For a… Order…
Fitted, form-following silhouette True to size
Relaxed, easy fit One size up
Very relaxed/casual Two sizes up

Care Instructions

  1. Turn inside out before washing
  2. Machine wash cold — rayon content makes the 3413 more sensitive to heat than pure cotton
  3. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry — high heat can affect rayon fibers
  4. Do not bleach
  5. Do not iron directly on print
  6. Handle with care when wet — rayon fibers are weaker when saturated

Does the tri-blend feel different from the 3001?

Distinctly so. The 3413 is noticeably softer, lighter, and slightly stretchy compared to the 3001. The hand feel is more like a lightweight performance fabric than a standard cotton tee. Side by side, most people prefer the 3413’s feel for pure comfort — though the 3001 is preferred when print precision is the priority.

How does the vintage aesthetic affect dark-colored designs?

Dark-colored garment variants (navy, charcoal, black) have a naturally heathered appearance on the tri-blend fabric — subtle variations in tone across the surface that add depth and visual interest. Prints on these dark variants have the most pronounced “vintage” quality.

Is the rayon content a durability concern?

The 3413 holds up well with proper cold-wash, low-heat care. The polyester content contributes to shape retention and wash resilience. The main care consideration is heat sensitivity from the rayon — keep this tee away from high-heat laundry cycles.
