Classic children’s T-shirt made from ring-spun cotton
Russell 180B is a classic children’s short-sleeve T-shirt made from ring-spun cotton. Its 180 g/m² fabric provides a more substantial and durable feel than many lightweight promotional T-shirts while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.
The model works well as a school T-shirt, team T-shirt, club garment, event T-shirt or children’s T-shirt with custom printing. The size range covers children from approximately 1 to 12 years old, making it possible to use one consistent model across several age groups.
Ring-spun cotton and the fine, even knit create a smooth surface suitable for garment decoration. Russell specifically highlights the fabric as providing excellent and durable decoration results.
The tubular construction eliminates side seams, while shoulder-to-shoulder taping reinforces the upper part of the garment. Double stitching at the sleeves and bottom hem provides additional durability in areas exposed to regular wear.
