But what are graphic tees? They are t-shirts that have some sort of image or other graphic design on them. Graphic tees can be decorated in many ways, including painting, screen printing, and embroidery.

Popular up and down the West Coast, TravisMathew continues its eastward expansion thanks to a combination of brand awareness, working with athlete and celebrity ambassadors, highlighted by top-ranked PGA Tour golfer Jon Rahm, and the increasing demand for comfort and adaptability with attire.

So, with price being relatively equal, I think it's a very clear that Travis Mathew presents an excellent value since, in my opinion, the style and cut are superior to other companies.

It's a line of clothing designed for golfers by a golfer, Travis Johnson.

Basically you print the image onto a transfer sheet with ink or toner, and then you transfer the image to the shirt using heat (a heat press or in some cases even an iron). If you turn the shirt inside-out and wash it in cold water the first few times, it should last quite a while.

The Birth of Graphic Tees The very first appearance of the print tee was in the 1939 filmThe Wizard of Oz. Three minions fixing up the scarecrow wore bright green t-shirts embellished with the word “OZ” in white. In 1948 US presidential candidate Thomas Dewey printed his slogan “Dew it with Dewey” on t-shirts.

Travis Mathew Apparel

That said, Travis Mathew's prices are not out of line with the prices of other golf apparel manufacturers. At full price, a new golf shirt runs somewhere from $60-$80 whether it's Travis Mathew, Nike, Adidas, or any number of other companies.

The vast majority of t-shirts are made out of cotton, polyester, or their blends. Each material is unique in its own right. All of them are very common and popular.

The best fabrics for t-shirts include cotton, polyester, and cotton/polyester blends. Cotton t-shirt fabric is soft, comfortable, biodegradable, and easy to print on. On the other hand, it takes a long time to dry and shrinks in the wash. Polyester t-shirt fabric dries quickly, resists wrinkles, and stays durable.

The desired graphic is first digitally printed on special heat transfer paper using solvent ink. This type of ink allows the design to be transferred from the paper to the t-shirt when pressed with a heat press machine.

Its creation rather dates back to the 19th century, when it would have been used as an undergarment associated with a work overalls. It was the American army that brought it into widespread use. In the 1910s, the T-shirt became part of the military kit and begun to be used as an undershirt.

The life of a T-Shirt begins in cotton fields most commonly found in the US or India. They're typically made of 100% cotton but can be found in polyester or a polyester-cotton blend.

Dye Sublimation Basically, an image is inkjetted onto a paper transfer sheet using special dyes (rather than inks). The press operator then puts the shirt on the platen in the heat press, puts the transfer sheet on top, and closes the heat press.
