Champs Tall Tees: What to Know Before Printing DTF on Them

Champs Sports sells its CSG house-brand tees in regular sizes, and on November 13, 2026 its website listed no tall sizes, so a "tall tee" for printing usually means a wholesale tall blank such as the Gildan 2000T or Port & Company PC61T. The CSG tees still take DTF transfers like any cotton shirt. This guide covers what Champs sells, the tall blanks decorators use instead, and how to size a transfer on a longer body.

Can you print DTF transfers on Champs tall tees?

Yes. DTF transfers bond to cotton, and the CSG Hometown T-Shirt that Champs Sports sells is 100% cotton, so it presses like any cotton tee. On November 13, 2026, though, Champs listed its CSG tees in regular sizes S to 4XL, not tall sizes, so for a true tall body use a wholesale tall blank.

What Champs Sports sells

Prices as shown on champssports.com on November 13, 2026, with the regular price in brackets:

The men's t-shirt category lists sizes XS to XXL, and the CSG Hometown page goes to 4XL. We found no tall (LT, XLT) sizing and no published fabric weight. The size chart link on the product page did not display its measurements. These are retail tees, so check for a small brand logo before buying one as a blank.

Tall blanks decorators use instead

Measurements come from the SanMar spec sheets for each style, in inches. Body length is measured at the back from the high point of the shoulder to the hem; chest is laid flat 1 inch below the armhole.

For comparison, the average adult large in our placement guide data is 22 inches across the chest and 30 to 30.5 inches long. A Gildan 2000T in LT has the same 22 inch chest and is 32.5 inches long, about 2 to 2.5 inches longer. That is the point of a tall tee: the extra length is in the body, not the chest. More tall and long-sleeve options are in t-shirts with longer sleeves and the Pro Club size chart.

What to check on a tall tee before pressing

Settings come from the DTF Database temperature and time chart. Your transfer supplier's instructions come first.

How to size and place a transfer on a tall tee

1. Size the width from the chest, not the length. An LT has the same chest as an L, so an adult front print stays 11 to 12 inches wide.
2. Measure placement down from the collar. A tall tee's extra length is below the print, so the usual 3 to 4 inch drop from the collar for a front print still applies.
3. Only hem and full-length prints change. A design placed up from the hem, or a tall vertical print, sits about 2 inches lower on a tall body; adjust it from the hem.
4. Pre-press, then press one test shirt at the fabric's settings and check the position on a person before running the batch.

Where to get the transfers

Order transfers sized for the front or back from the DTF transfer supplier directory, lay several sizes on one sheet with the gang sheet calculator, or see printers for in-house printing on tall tees in the DTF printer directory.
