BE DIFFERENT - words we live by. Creating a world where our business mirrors our beliefs - like putting Earth first, insisting on a humane work environment and creating the best tees in the industry - is where it begins and ends for BELLA + CANVAS. In a million ways, big and small, we choose BE DIFFERENT over the easy road every day. Over the course of 22 years, those choices add up to major things that set us apart from the industry. BE DIFFERENT isn’t the easy way. But it’s the right way to run a business. And to live. We know we have to put tees out there that people want to wear, that are like what's found in a cool boutique or a department store. Making cheap feeling, scratchy, poorly fitting tees just doesn't make sense for our customers, who are expecting people to want to wear their tees. So once we sorted out that there was no way to be other than retail, we moved on to what that meant. And here's what we came up with: crafted, tailored shirts made from combed and ringspun cotton that feel soft, fit great and come in awesome colors, from classic to on-trend. If it's not retail, it's not BELLA + CANVAS. Whether it's a few tees or a few hundred thousand, you've got big plans and lots of important people to share them with. With 40+ million tees in stock, we made sure that whichever BELLA + CANVAS style you want to use is in stock, so you can order with confidence. We live where we sew - Los Angeles, California, USA to be exact. It all happens here. Los Angeles isn't just the center of our universe. It's that sweet spot where fashion, forward thinking and responsible business meet. Being here drives everything we do. It's made us who we are. And it has inspired us to make our tees the most forward, retail, softest ones in the industry. Hey, maybe someday BELLA + CANVAS will get a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. What kind of tee are you? Carded open end tees are heavy and scratchy. Bulky and fuzzy. But our 100% combed and ring-spun tees are super soft and print like a dream. Starting at the thread level, we design the composition of each knit to make sure it will become the best feeling, fitting and printing tee you've ever seen. Our mission, since day one, has been to bring retail tees to the wholesale market - so for us, it's all about quality. Being the softest is a total no-brainer. But it's not easy. We start by developing the smoothest threads, then knitting the finest gage possible so our tees not only feel the best, but they print exceptionally. It's sort of like high thread-count sheets, because our goal is to make tees so comfy you'll want to sleep in them. All our T-Shirts is side-seam. Tubular is for socks and surfers, not fashion. Side-seamed tees fit better. Our bodies aren't tubes. So tubular tees don't really hang right on people — they're exactly the same on the front and the back, the only difference is the neck drop. We wouldn't want to wear one, so why would we manufacture any? Side seams create the crafted, tailored structure a tee needs to fit correctly, feel great and become a favorite. Choosing BELLA + CANVAS means choosing the best-fitting, softest, most responsibly made T-shirts. How we do things and what we make probably aligns with your belief system better than any other brand does. 100% no sweat shop, manufactured in an eco-conscious way and, beyond that, our tees are softer and look better than anything else out there. We're proud of our gold accreditation from W.R.A.P., an independent group of social compliance experts, that makes sure our factories are certified safe, lawful, humane and ethical. W.R.A.P. accreditation validates that our already-high standards go above and beyond the practices they monitor and certify. You inspire us. You're why we make these beautiful canvases for printing and embroidery. We wouldn't put anything less than the best printing surface out there. So you just worry about perfecting your graphics. We'll worry about using the best threads - and always using 100% combed-and-ringspun cotton - to make sure the canvas is smoother, prints great, has minimal shrinkage and takes heat transfers superbly. BELLA + CANVAS means beautiful canvas. We live by our name.
