Which Sweatshirt Fits? Comfort Colors® 1566 vs Bella+Canvas 4711 vs Lane Seven

Journal · Fit Guide

We print on three sweatshirts, and they do not wear the same. One is soft and garment-dyed, one is cut oversized with a brushed interior, and one is a boxy heavyweight. This guide explains how each one feels, who it suits, and how to pick a size the first time.

The three, side by side

Full specs for every blank are on our Fabrics page.

Which one to choose

Choose the Comfort Colors® 1566 if you want a soft, lived-in crewneck that looks good from the first wear, in the widest range of colors. It is the base for most of our niche collections, from The Medics to The Mom Collective.

Choose the Bella+Canvas 4711 if you want the oversized look without hunting for a bigger size. The relaxed oversized cut and slightly dropped sleeve do the work, and the brushed fleece inside feels smooth against the skin.

Choose the Lane Seven LS16004 if you want the most structure. It is the heavyweight of the three, with a boxy shape that reads like streetwear and holds its line through the day.

How to pick your size

We don't take exchanges for size, so this part is worth two minutes. Lay a sweatshirt you already like flat, measure straight across from armpit to armpit, and match that number to the chest width on the size chart on the product page. Every product page has one.

On the 4711 and the LS16004, the oversized fit is built in, so start with your usual size. On the 1566, size up one only if the chart's chest width tells you that is the look you want. If you are buying for someone else and can't measure, the Blossombless.co™ Gift Card lets them choose.

Care, so the fit stays

Wash cold, inside out, and tumble dry low or hang dry. The 1566 is garment-dyed for a lived-in feel with minimal shrinkage. The 4711 and the LS16004 hold their shape with proper care. Our Care Guide has the full routine.

Good to know

Which sweatshirt is the most oversized?

The Lane Seven LS16004 has the boxiest cut, with an oversized boxy fit. The Bella+Canvas 4711 is a relaxed oversized fit with a slight drop at the shoulder. The Comfort Colors® 1566 is our everyday crewneck; for a looser look on it, compare the chest width on the size chart and consider one size up.

Should I size up for an oversized look?

On the Bella+Canvas 4711 and the Lane Seven LS16004 the oversized fit is built in, so start with your usual size and check the chart. On the Comfort Colors® 1566, size up one only if the chart's chest width tells you that is the look you want.

How do I find my size?

Lay a sweatshirt you already like flat, measure straight across from armpit to armpit, and match that number to the chest width on the size chart on the product page. We don't take exchanges for size, so these two minutes matter.

Will it shrink after washing?

The Comfort Colors® 1566 is garment-dyed for a lived-in feel with minimal shrinkage. The Bella+Canvas 4711 and the Lane Seven LS16004 hold their shape with proper care. For all three: wash cold, inside out, and tumble dry low or hang dry.

Will the print crack or fade?

The print is made to move with the fabric, and with the right care it stays far less prone to cracking and fading. Turn it inside out, wash cold with a mild detergent, skip bleach and fabric softener, and keep it away from high dryer heat.

Which one is heavyweight?

The Lane Seven LS16004 is the heavyweight sweatshirt of the three, built on a 3-end heavyweight fleece. The Comfort Colors® 1566 is 9.5 oz and the Bella+Canvas 4711 is 10 oz with a brushed interior; both are substantial everyday fleece.
