If that review doesn’t convince you that the Bella + Canvas 3413 is a darn good shirt, we don’t know what will!
So after all of that- what’s the main difference?
At the end of the day, the main differentiator between the Bella + Canvas 3001 and the Bella + Canvas 3413 is the material and cost. The Bella + Canvas 3001 is 100% cotton, which is still super soft and comfortable, but the Bella + Canvas 3413 is a tri-blend of polyester, rayon, and cotton- making it softer and stretchier. The Bella + Canvas 3001 is a little bit more affordable than the 3413, but they’re both absolutely dreamy. Both tee styles are also offered in over 50 colors, so you have a lot of options between the two! Curious about how our printing methods will interact with these t-shirts?
