The Port & Company PC381 looks like a casual tee and performs like a workout shirt — and that’s exactly the point. The 65/35 polyester-cotton blend with Dry Zone® moisture management pulls sweat off the body and evaporates it fast, but the 35% cotton keeps it from having that slick, shiny athletic sheen that looks out of place anywhere outside a gym. The result is a shirt that works equally well on a job site, at a corporate 5K, and at a brewery after — a genuinely versatile blank that doesn’t force your brand to choose between function and casual wearability. At 4.5 oz it’s lightweight and breathable, predominantly polyester so it holds its shape and color through hundreds of washes without shrinking, and the tear-away label rips clean for custom neck printing. If you’re looking for a performance tee that doesn’t look like one, this is it.
Port & Company PC381 Performance Blend Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dry Zone® technology and does it actually work?
Product
Dry Zone® is Port & Company’s proprietary moisture management system built into the fabric. It actively pulls sweat away from the skin and pushes it to the surface where it evaporates quickly. It’s not just marketing — the 65% polyester content is what makes it genuinely functional for high-energy activities and hot outdoor work.
Will the PC381 shrink after washing?
Care
Very little. With 65% polyester driving the blend, the PC381 holds its shape, size, and color through repeated wash cycles far better than a standard cotton shirt. Wash cold and tumble dry low for best results — and to protect any screen-printed decoration on the surface.
What custom decoration options are available for the PC381?
Decoration
Screen printing is the standard for the PC381. The high polyester content (65%) requires low-bleed, low-cure inks to prevent dye migration into lighter-colored logos — a detail that separates experienced in-house decorators from budget print shops. Embroidery is also available for left-chest placement on select orders.
Can I order the PC381 in bulk for a team, gym, or corporate event?
Bulk Orders
Yes — it’s a natural fit for gyms, corporate 5Ks, outdoor work crews, and lifestyle brands that need a performance shirt without the athletic-only aesthetic. Safari Sun has no order minimums and tiered pricing that drops at 12, 24, 48, and beyond. Upload your logo at safarisun.com to get started.
Which brand offers the best custom shirts for work and active use?
Corporate Apparel
For brands that need a shirt that works in both active and casual settings, the PC381 is one of the strongest options in wholesale apparel. Dry Zone® performance, cotton-like feel, and a tear-away label for custom neck branding — at a price point that makes bulk uniform programs practical. Pair it with an in-house decorator who handles high-poly fabrics correctly and you’ve got a finished product that punches above its price.
