JERZEES® Sportshirts with SpotShield®

  • How should I change the way I screenprint or embroider JERZEES® sportshirts with SpotShield®?

You don't have to change anything about the way you embellish these garments. Screenprint or embroider them just like you would any 50/50 sportshirt.

  • What do these shirts cost?

Even though we have added a valuable feature to our JERZEES® sportshirts, we have not raised prices. Please check with your apparel supplier for the most recent prices.

  • What kinds of customers are likely to benefit from garments with SpotShield®?

These garments work especially well for restaurants, healthcare providers, service businesses, and schools-anywhere people work or play near liquids and potential stains.

  • What kinds of liquids or semi-liquids will SpotShield® defend against?

SpotShield® will work with most water- and oil-based liquids and semi-liquids. Examples include water, colas, ketchup, beer, wine, salad dressing, and milk.

  • How do I keep my JERZEES® sportshirts with SpotShield® looking clean and fresh?

Most liquids will simply bead up and roll off the garment. For other materials, simply shake the shirt or gently blot the spill with a cloth. Most residual marks will come out in the wash.

  • If these shirts resist most water-based liquids, will they get clean in the washing machine?

Yes. Launder these garments like you would any other sportshirts. Because individual fibers are coated with SpotShield®, soapy water can still penetrate the fabric in the wash. See each garment's care label for details.

  • Will SpotShield® repel all stains?

SpotShield® will repel most water- and oil-based liquids and semi-liquids.

  • For how long will SpotShield® remain effective?

SpotShield® retains its stain-repelling feature for at least 20 washings.

  • Can you dry clean a sportshirt treated with SpotShield®?

Yes. Follow the normal washing instructions found on the garment care label.

  • Can you iron a sportshirt treated with SpotShield®?

Yes. In fact, the heat from ironing can help reinvigorate the stain fighting properties of the SpotShield® treatment. Ironing will not, however, make SpotShield® last indefinitely.

  • Since SpotShield® provides stain resistance, does that mean those garments are waterproof?

No. When submerged in water or subjected to large quantities of liquid, like in a rain storm, the garment and wearer will get wet.

  • Are all JERZEES® products coated with SpotShield®?

No. Four key JERZEES® sportshirts are available with SpotShield®. They are: 437M Adult 50/50 Jersey and 437Y Youth 50/50 Jersey Sportshirts and 438M Adult 50/50 Pique and 438Y Youth 50/50 Pique Sportshirts.

  • How do these garments breathe?

JERZEES® sportshirts with SpotShield® breathe as well as any 50/50 jersey or pique shirt. Since individual fibers of cotton are coated with SpotShield®, not the finished garments, air can still penetrate the fabric, providing a comfortable fit.

  • Does SpotShield® impact the hand or color of the garment? What about shrinkage?

SpotShield® has no effect on the hand, color, or shrinkage of these shirts. In fact, the look and feel of these shirts will be the same as without the SpotShield® treatment.

  • Has SpotShield® been tested for flammability?

Yes. SpotShield® has passed flammability requirements for all 50 states.

  • Does JERZEES® use a Teflon or Scotchguard coating on these garments?

No. JERZEES® uses a proprietary treatment called SpotShield®.

  • Where can I purchase JERZEES® sportshirts with SpotShield®?

These shirts are available at most apparel suppliers nationwide. For a complete list or to search for a supplier near you, call us at 800-321-1138 or use the product locator link in this website.

  • When will JERZEES® sportshirts with SpotShield® be available?

They are available now. Anytime you order JERZEES® styles 437M, 437Y, 438M, or 438Y, you will receive the SpotShield® garments.
