Mind you, it’s a good one. With plenty of new responsibly sourced long sleeve t-shirts. Those ethically minded suppliers have been busy bees.

Which means you need the best info on base products so we can provide the best clothes screen printing experience.
Long sleeved shirts for UK printing.
Now, there are thousands of plain t-shirts for print and embroidery. However, the number shrinks when you get into the long sleeved variety. And choice becomes smaller still if you want superior quality. What follows is a rather good selection of long sleeves. That’s to say, t-shirts that reach your wrist and feel good all the way down. And most folk will tell you, long sleeve shirts attain a special level with some bespoke print along the arm. Needless to say, this list includes some of the best ethically manufactured and organic long sleeve t-shirts currently available for personalisation in the UK.
1. AS Colour Block Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Let’s start our latest take on the best blank long sleeve tees to customise with a new shirt. And it’s a LS which is certainly one to consider when you want high quality allied to environmentally friendly fabrics and approach. This AS Colour Block shirt (code 5054) has all the qualities you need. Fit, weight and cuffed sleeve boxes are ticked. And the supplier is known for fair and ethical practice, an example of which is their participation in the Amfori BSCI initiative.
2. Stanley Stella Creator 2.0 Long Sleeves
And where better to go next than a short sleeve classic given some long sleeved love. Well, we’re in luck with the Stanley Stella Creator 2.0 (STTU199). They describe this as the unisex long sleeves t-shirt and who are we to argue. It’s a medium fit and crafted from high quality organic ring spun combed cotton. With an extensive size range going from XXS to 3XL. And launched in twelve cool colours including the delightful natural raw shown above.
3. Bella + Canvas Heavy Long Sleeved Shirt
Third on the list, we have this 4651 Bella + Canvas heavyweight number. Needless to say, heavy long sleeved shirts are rarely a bad idea when building a printed t-shirts collection, organic cotton or otherwise. In terms of style, these tees feature the currently popular dropped shoulder and boxy silhouette. The Airlume combed ringspun cotton is not only lovely quality but also comes in a substantial 260gsm weight that will lend your branded shirt some heft.
4. Neutral Recycled Long Sleeve Tees
Here we have a slight deviation from the organic theme. Insofar as it’s not cotton, let alone organic. Nevertheless, it is still a responsibly sourced garment which deserves a mention in this best blank long sleeve tees piece. Because the R61050 Neutral recycled performance long sleeve tee offers exactly what the name suggests. That is, made from recycled polyester and angled toward activity with its wicking properties. Definitely a sustainable option.

5. Anthem Organic Long Sleeve Tee
Right, time to get our look at the best blank long sleeve tees for printing and embroidery back on firmly organic ground. And there’s no better way to do so than with this Anthem organic long sleeved gem (AM011). Besides the ethical aspects, this shirt will work for a lot of projects because of the contemporary fashion fitting. On top of that you also have an extremely impressive ranges of sizes that go from an XS to 6XL. That should cover most of the bases for any market, however diverse.
6. Gildan Ultra Cotton™ Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Now, here’s another one you should definitely consider when you want to buy long sleeve t-shirts wholesale for printing. Especially if an established classic is high on your list of priorities. Because the Gildan Ultra Cotton™ adult long sleeve t-shirt (code 2400) is exactly that. With good reason – you get 200gsm of cotton pre shrunk jersey that’s a super tight knit surface which is superb for screen printing and embroidery. Plus a tearaway label for easier rebranding and great palette.
7. Native Spirit Unisex Long Sleeve Tee
It first appeared last year in our best blank long sleeve tees to customise and it’s still here. A relatively new brand that seems here to stay. This Native Spirit NS333 is certainly one to think about if long sleeve t-shirt printing is on your radar. And most surely when it comes to organic long sleeve t-shirts. It’s a lovely mid range weight at 180gsm and the versatile unisex fitting is always popular with custom clothing. Plus it’s the always appealing label free.
8. Stanley Stella Freestyler Long Sleeve
Next in our selection of the best blank long sleeve tees is a heavyweight. That’s to say, a fab 240 g/m² of open end organic cotton. This Stanley Stella Freestyler long sleeve t-shirt (code STTU200) is unsex and comes in some lovely shades. Plus, a wide size range of XXS to 3XL. And obviously from a highly respected blank clothing supplier. Beyond that, it’s worth noting that the fabric has a slightly rougher characteristic than some other organic shirts.
9. Bella + Canvas Boxy Long Sleeve Tee
Are unisex long sleeve printed t-shirts styles part of your portfolio and is a fashionable edge important? Yes to both! Well, in that case, you may want to give this one the once-over. Because the Bella + Canvas long sleeve t-shirt (3511) is another on-trend design with that boxier, more relaxed feel which works for both men and women. The 6oz (205gsm) weight is on the attractively heavier side and you get plenty of choice with the colour card which includes 10 shades.
10. AS Colour Heavy Faded Long Sleeve T-Shirt
How about another from AS Colour seeing as we’re nearing the end of our best blank long sleeve tees list? And one that’s not long hit the wholesale shelves. Okay, no problem, we have an ideal candidate. That’s to say, the AS Colour heavy faded long sleeve tee (code 5083). It’s a comfortable and relaxed fitting with that drop shoulder feature and also made to last at a chunky 240gsm cotton. The garment dyed quality is a particularly nice characteristic for certain custom branding projects.
11. Earth Positive Premium Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Let’s conclude our pick of the best blank long sleeve tees list with one from our good friends over at Earth Positive. It’s another that’s only recently become available.
