North Carolina Sweatshirts & T-Shirts
North Carolina sweatshirts, t-shirts, & hoodies printed exclusively on premium garment-dyed Comfort Colors apparel. Vintage designs for the Tar Heel State, from the Blue Ridge to the Outer Banks.
North Carolina Sweatshirts, Mountains to the Coast
North Carolina sweatshirts cover a state that stretches from 6,684-foot peaks in the Blue Ridge to the sandbars of the Outer Banks. Asheville and its 100 breweries. The Research Triangle. The Piedmont in between, where Charlotte has become one of the fastest-growing cities in the South. Every piece is garment-dyed on heavyweight Comfort Colors blanks, pre-shrunk and soft from the start. Our State of North Carolina hoodie carries the Tar Heel spirit from Manteo to Murphy.
North Carolina Hoodies, Blue Ridge Mornings and Coastal Fog
North Carolina hoodies work in two different worlds. The mountains around Boone and Banner Elk bring real winter, with ski season at Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain running into March. Meanwhile the coast at Holden Beach and Kure Beach gets that Atlantic wind that cuts through anything light. Our heavyweight garment-dyed Comfort Colors hoodies handle both climates and age well through years of wear.
North Carolina T-Shirts, Barbecue Weather Year-Round
North Carolina t-shirts are practically required from April through October, and honestly most of the winter in Raleigh and south. The state runs warm and so do the people. Beach days on the Crystal Coast, tubing the Deep River, brewery hopping in Asheville, and Friday nights at any high school football field in the Piedmont. Our garment-dyed Comfort Colors tees are heavyweight cotton that holds up through Carolina summers. The State of North Carolina tee is the simple carry for Tar Heel country.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is garment-dyed apparel?
Each piece is dyed after it's sewn, not before. This gives Comfort Colors their signature soft, vintage, lived-in feel and rich color from day one. The color gets better with every wash, and slight color variations between pieces are normal and part of what makes each one unique.
Are your North Carolina clothing products the same as typical North Carolina gift shop sweatshirts?
Not even close. We print exclusively on Comfort Colors, one of the fastest-growing apparel brands in the country. Premium heavyweight garment-dyed apparel that's thicker, softer, and designed to last for years, not a single vacation.
How do I care for Comfort Colors garments?
Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors and a mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Skip the bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat. Wash separately the first time as the dye can bleed slightly. They only get softer with age.
Do Comfort Colors tees and sweatshirts shrink?
Comfort Colors are pre-shrunk during the garment-dye process, which significantly reduces future shrinkage. Stick with cold water and low heat in the dryer and you will have no issues.
What is the fit style of Comfort Colors apparel?
Relaxed and slightly oversized with a casual fit. T-shirts are 6.1 oz. heavyweight 100% ring-spun cotton. Hoodies are 9.5 oz. 80/20 cotton-poly blend with a jersey-lined hood. Soft-washed so they feel broken-in from the first wear, not stiff or scratchy. See our Comfort Colors fit guide for full sizing details.
Will the print fade, crack, or peel?
Our designs are direct-to-garment (DTG) printed on pre-shrunk Comfort Colors garments, similar to screen printing but with sharper detail. Each garment is pretreated before printing, and the ink bonds directly into the ring-spun cotton fibers. No cracking, no peeling, no fading.
Do you offer free shipping?
We know shipping costs add up, so we pay shipping on all U.S. orders over $75. Just our way of saying thanks for shopping with a Maine company.
Do you offer wholesale hoodies, sweatshirts, and t-shirts for your North Carolina apparel?
Yes. We offer bulk pricing on all of our apparel, including North Carolina hoodies, sweatshirts, and t-shirts. Pricing is based on your specific order, and larger quantities mean better pricing. Contact us with your specific needs and quantities and we will put together a quote for you.
Will the colors match exactly what I see on screen?
Product images are digital mockups and may differ slightly from the finished garment. Colors can appear different depending on your screen's settings, and because every Comfort Colors piece is individually garment-dyed, natural shade variation occurs between batches. Print placement and size may also shift slightly from the mockup. These variations are part of what makes garment-dyed apparel unique and are not considered defects.
