12 Top Organic Tees to Customise
It’s been a fair while since we did our first piece on the best organic cotton t-shirts for printing. So, high time for an update. As with most things these days, quite a bit has changed in the interim. But it’s interesting to note that many of the suppliers that featured in that article are still going strong. And it’s also worth pointing out that these are organic cotton t shirts for printing wholesale. Rather than run of the mill retail garments where the choice is somewhat different.
Why choose blank organic shirts to print & embroider?
Is organic cotton good for t-shirts? The answer is a big thumbs up. Cotton is generally thought to be the best t-shirt fabric for printing. And this sort of cotton the superior option. Here at Fifth Column we’ve got a lot of love for organic cotton apparel. And that includes t-shirts. The quality is superior and they’re better for the environment. And they are great for screen printing, embroidery, DTF printing and more besides. So, here we go, a selection of excellent organic cotton t shirts for printing UK available (numbered for reference).
1. Stanley Stella Creator 2.0 T-Shirt
There’s no better place to start our 2024/2025 take on the best organic cotton t-shirts for printing. The Creator 2 (code STTU169) is a unisex style and a medium fit. Furthermore, it’s a high quality white label tee. And available in so many colours you won’t have any trouble finding the good match for your custom design and branding. This is the latest version of the manufacturer’s iconic short sleeve Creator shirt and worth a look for any rebranded collection.
2. Earth Positive Premium Jersey T-Shirt
Our second selection is another outstanding supplier of eco friendly cotton tees made to be customised. Like us, Earth Positive have long been promoting organic t-shirt printing in London. And this EP185 shirt is one of their latest products. Newly launched this year, it’s an ideal weight at 185g and crafted from compact spun GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified organic cotton. There’s a wide size range and lots of lovely colours.
3. AS Colour Classic Organic Tees
As we’ve said, organic shirts tend to be high quality. And here we have a very good example of the fact. This AS Colour Classic t-shirt (code 5026G) is another that’s a relatively new addition to the UK custom t-shirt rails. And it has a wealth of attractive features as well as being an eco ethical tee. Not least the ever popular regular fitting and heavy weight 220gsm organic fabric. Limited colours at time of writing but still a great shirt.
4. Native Spirit Eco-friendly T-Shirts
Now, this supplier is definitely one to watch if you want label free organic t-shirts. By which we mean that they boast a big catalogue of clothing made from earth friendly materials. Above, we’ve shown their organic unisex t-shirt (code NS300) which is a versatile straight fit and comes in a huge variety of colours.

5. Anthem Organic T-Shirt
Next in our take on the best organic cotton t-shirts for printing is this Anthem organic tee (code AM010). It’s tag free for easier custom branding and comes from another supplier who’ve long championed organic cotton clothes. It’s a lighter weight shirt at 145gsm and is well worthy of consideration if that quality suits your print project. Lots of on trend colours.
6. Tiger Cotton T-Shirts
Ever come across the phrase cotton in conversion? Well, this Neutral Tiger Cotton t-shirt (code T61001) is made from that very thing. In this instance, converting non-organic cotton fields to organic and so helping to maintain and restore tiger habitats in Madhya Pradesh, India. The manufacturer describe it as being okay for the tiger, the farmer and our planet. Which is all good with us.
7. No Sweat Unisex Tee
Here’s one that’s simply perfect for ethical customisation. No Sweat make good quality 100% organic cotton t shirts for printing. But there’s more to this wholesale clothing supplier than environment friendly fabrics. Namely, their campaign to make sweat shops a thing of the past both here and abroad. A small range, one to choose if this stance rings bells with you and your customers.
8. Stanley Stella Freestyler
Right, let’s have our second organic t-shirt from Stanley Stella. And the short sleeve Freestyler (code STTU788) has got some heft to it at 240 G/M². It’s a good choice if you want your branded organic cotton tee unisex style with a dry hand feel. Plus an easy going relaxed fit. One point worth noting is that the fabric of this shirt has a slightly rougher texture to others in their extensive range.
9. Native Spirit Organic Unisex T-Shirt
And that brings us to another unisex short sleeve from Native Spirit. At 180gsm, their NS305 tee is heavier than the earlier item we’ve featured. It’s made from quality combed organic cotton. As with many of their garments, it’s also enzyme washed which softens the fabric and gives a fashionable worn in look. And is considered more eco friendly than other forms of washed finish.
10. AS Colour Staple Organic Shirts
Next in our look at the best organic cotton t-shirts to print we have this Staple organic tee (code 5001G). Naturally, being an AS Colour product, it’s high quality. And, from a printer’s perspective, it offers a wealth of customisation possibilities. That’s to say, suitable for screen printing, DTF, DTG and embroidery. With some very appealing colours like this walnut shade.
11. Anthem Heavyweight Organic T-Shirt
Time for another heavy weight. Truth is, organic or otherwise, they’re usually a winner when it comes to custom printed t-shirts. This Anthem AM015 is retail ready for some creative ink. Needless to say, it’s a certified sustainable shirt. And one that’s going to look the business with a spot of inspired design. It’s got a good colour card and is a fashionable over sized style.
12. Neutral Unisex Regular Tee.
Our final item in this update of the best organic cotton t-shirts for printing. But by no means least. This Neutral regular t-shirt (code O60002) is made from organic Fairtrade cotton.
