Product Overview
The Bella Canvas BE100 is a sophisticated interpretation of the traditional baseball t-shirt. This unisex garment features the characteristic 3/4 length raglan sleeves and a contrast neck trim, but elevates the classic design with a modern, slim-fit silhouette and a selection of high-quality fabric blends. It is specifically engineered to provide a smooth, tight-knit surface that serves as an excellent canvas for custom branding, making it a reliable choice for businesses seeking a contemporary uniform.
Key Features
- Contrast Raglan Sleeves and Neck Trim: The raglan construction extends the sleeve to the neckline, providing a greater range of motion and a distinct visual contrast that defines the baseball aesthetic.
- Side-Seamed Construction: Unlike standard tubular garments, side seams ensure the t-shirt maintains its structural integrity and tailored fit through repeated wear and laundering.
- Slim Fit: Designed with a modern profile, this t-shirt provides a streamlined appearance that avoids the bulk often associated with traditional unisex workwear.
- Tight-Knit Surface: The high-density knit ensures that any applied branding appears crisp and well-defined, with minimal texture interference for a superior finish.
Design & Performance
The performance of the BE100 is rooted in its material composition. The triblend variants utilise a precise mix of polyester, Airlume combed and ringspun cotton, and rayon. This combination results in a remarkably soft hand-feel and a lightweight drape that remains comfortable throughout a full working day. The use of 40-single yarn ensures a fine, smooth texture that feels premium against the skin while remaining resilient.
For the solid colour options, the blend of combed cotton and polyester offers a balance of natural breathability and synthetic durability. The 'Airlume' process specifically removes impurities and short fibres, ensuring only the longest and strongest cotton strands are used, which significantly reduces pilling and enhances the longevity of the garment under daily use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This t-shirt is exceptionally versatile when it comes to customisation. For businesses seeking a professional appearance, embroidery is recommended for smaller chest logos or individual names. The stable knit handles needlework with precision, ensuring your branding remains sharp and durable.
Alternatively, the exceptionally smooth surface is ideal for screen printing or heat transfer, particularly for larger promotional designs or company graphics across the chest. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that every garment leaving our facility meets our rigorous standards for quality.
Use Cases
The BE100 is particularly suited for staff in creative agencies, retail environments, or hospitality businesses looking for a relaxed yet uniform appearance. Its athletic heritage also makes it a popular choice for promotional merchandise and event wear where comfort and style are equally weighted for the wearer.

Practical Advice
As this garment is designed with a slim fit, we recommend consulting our size guide to ensure the best possible match for your team. If your staff prefer a more relaxed or generous fit, you may wish to consider ordering one size up. Given its lightweight fabric, this t-shirt is also an excellent choice for layering beneath jackets or gilets during transitional seasons.
Caring for your product
To preserve the finish of the fabric and the integrity of your custom branding, we recommend a warm machine wash. It is advisable to turn the garment inside out before washing to protect any print or embroidery from abrasive contact with other items in the machine drum.
When bleaching is required, use only non-chlorine agents. Harsh chlorine bleaches can degrade the synthetic fibres and cause premature fading of the contrast sleeve colours, which will undermine the professional look of the garment.
For drying, a low-temperature tumble dry is recommended to prevent excessive shrinkage of the cotton fibres. When ironing, a medium to hot setting may be used on the fabric sections, but you must avoid ironing directly over any decorated areas, as the heat can damage the print or embroidery threads, leading to cracking or melting.
