The Port & Company PC54Y is the youth shirt that actually survives being worn by kids. At 5.4 oz of cotton with double-needle sleeves, double-needle hem, and shoulder-to-shoulder neck tape, it’s built for grass stains, juice spills, and the general chaos of field trips and summer camps — not to sit folded in a drawer. The tear-away label means no scratchy tag ruining a kid’s day, and the 100% cotton surface holds heavy screen-printing ink cleanly without the thick plastisol cracking or peeling after the first wash. Neon Green, Neon Pink, Neon Yellow, and Neon Orange colorways keep kids visible at large events; dozens of solid colors cover every school, team, and mascot palette imaginable. When you need to outfit 200 third-graders on a PTA budget and every shirt has to come back from the field trip in recognizable condition, this is the blank.
Port & Company PC54Y Youth Tee Frequently Asked Questions
Will the PC54Y shrink after washing?
Care
Solid colors are 100% cotton, so high dryer heat will cause shrinkage. Wash cold and tumble dry low to preserve fit — especially important for kids’ shirts where sizing is already snug. Neon and dark heather colorways contain a 50/50 blend and are more shrink-resistant, but still benefit from lower heat.
Are the PC54Y neon colors safe and high-visibility for events?
Product
Yes — Neon Green, Neon Pink, Neon Yellow, and Neon Orange are available and provide excellent visibility for field trips, camps, and large outdoor events where keeping track of a group matters. Note that neon colorways run on a 50/50 cotton/poly blend rather than 100% cotton, which affects print requirements.
What custom decoration options are available for the PC54Y?
Decoration
Screen printing is the standard method for the PC54Y. The thick 5.4 oz cotton surface holds heavy plastisol ink cleanly and withstands the high flash dryer temps that solid cotton requires. Neon and dark heather colorways are 50/50 blends and require low-bleed, low-cure inks to prevent dye migration — our in-house team handles this on every run.
