Understanding Jerzees Style Numbers
Jerzees uses a straightforward style numbering system with letter suffixes that indicate the garment variant:
| Suffix | Meaning |
|---|
| MR | Adult Unisex (main style) |
| WR | Women's |
| BR | Youth/Boys |
| LSR | Long Sleeve |
For example, the
29MR is the adult DRI-POWER tee, the
29BR is the youth version, and the
29LSR is the long sleeve version. This makes it easy to find matching styles across age groups and sleeve lengths.

DTF Printing Temperature Guide for Jerzees Blanks
Every Jerzees fabric blend requires specific press settings for optimal DTF transfer adhesion. Here is a quick reference chart:
| Style | Fabric | Temperature | Time | Pressure |
|---|
| 29MR (50/50) | Cotton/poly | 305–315°F | 15 sec | Medium |
| 21MR (polyester) | 100% polyester | 290–300°F | 10–12 sec | Light-medium |
| 363MR (cotton) | 100% cotton | 305–315°F | 15 sec | Medium |
| 996MR (fleece) | 50/50 fleece | 310–320°F | 15–18 sec | Firm |
| 562MR (fleece) | 50/50 fleece | 310–320°F | 15–18 sec | Firm |
| 993MR (fleece) | 50/50 fleece | 310–320°F | 15–18 sec | Firm |
| 29LSR (50/50) | Cotton/poly | 305–315°F | 15 sec | Medium |
| 437MSR (50/50) | Cotton/poly | 305–310°F | 12–15 sec | Medium |
Pro Tip: Always pre-press fleece garments (996MR, 562MR, 993MR) for 3–5 seconds before applying the DTF transfer. This removes moisture, flattens the nap, and ensures even adhesion. For complete temperature instructions, see our
DTF Transfer Temperature Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most popular Jerzees t-shirt?
The Jerzees 29MR DRI-POWER 50/50 T-Shirt is by far the best-selling style. It offers the best combination of affordability, color selection (47+ colors), size range (S–5XL), and printability for DTF and screen printing.
Is Jerzees good for DTF printing?
Yes. Jerzees blanks work very well with DTF transfers. The 50/50 cotton-polyester blends provide a smooth surface with excellent adhesion. The 100% cotton HiDensi-T (363MR) is particularly good for photo-quality DTF prints. Fleece styles (996MR, 562MR) require slightly higher temperature and pressure but produce excellent results.
What is NuBlend?
NuBlend is Jerzees' proprietary pill-resistant fleece technology used in their hoodies and crewneck sweatshirts. It uses a higher stitch density and a special yarn blend to prevent the fabric from pilling (forming those small lint balls) after repeated washing. This keeps DTF prints looking clean over the life of the garment.
What does DRI-POWER mean?
DRI-POWER is Jerzees' moisture-wicking technology. It pulls sweat away from the skin to the fabric surface where it evaporates. DRI-POWER garments dry faster and keep the wearer cooler during physical activity. The technology does not interfere with DTF transfer adhesion.
How does Jerzees sizing compare to Gildan?
Jerzees and Gildan sizing is very similar. Both brands use standard US sizing with comparable width and length measurements. A Jerzees Medium and a Gildan Medium will fit nearly identically. The main difference is that Jerzees 50/50 blends tend to resist shrinking slightly better than Gildan 100% cotton styles.
Can you mix Jerzees and Gildan in the same order?
Yes. Many DTF businesses stock both Jerzees and Gildan blanks. Use Jerzees when you need moisture-wicking (sports, events) and Gildan when you want maximum cotton color variety. All three major wholesalers (SanMar, S&S Activewear, JiffyShirts) carry both brands.
