The concert-blank tee: tougher, wider-collared, and more substantial.

Story & heritage
After the 2017 acquisition by Gildan, the official American Apparel assortment has focused on premium wholesale essentials rather than runway novelty. The icons here are the pieces that carry the brand's recognisable vocabulary now: Fine Jersey tees, CVC and Tri-Blend heathers, Heavyweight Cotton concert blanks, Baby Rib fits, and ReFlex fleece.
Style 1301 anchors the Heavyweight Cotton collection, which the official store positions as rough-and-tumble concert must-haves. It is the counterweight to Fine Jersey: heavier in attitude, more merch-table than fashion tee.
Materials & craft
The official build lists a wide rib collar, taped neck and shoulders, relaxed fit, seamless body, and tear-away label transitioning to recycled material. The product participates in the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol and uses OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes.
How to choose & style
Pick 1301 when structure matters: screen prints, band graphics, or a boxier plain tee under outerwear. The seamless body keeps it clean for decoration; white and black are the workhorses, while garment-adjacent neutrals feel newer.
