Screen printing through Colton's year
Summer heat sets the blank choice: with about 103 days a year at 90°F or more, a lightweight tee or a tank gets worn far more than a heavyweight, and pale garment colors stay cooler in the sun. Every month averages a high of 65°F or more, so a hoodie run can stay small, printed for cool mornings and late events, while tees and tanks carry the year. Average highs stay at 70°F or above for 11 months of the year, so a tee design has no real off-season, and a restock can follow the original spec sheet so it matches the first run. Expect about 24 days a year at 100°F or above, which favors soft ring-spun tees over stiffer open-end cotton; the smoother ring-spun surface also holds fine lines and halftones cleanly. Six or more months a year bring under half an inch of rain, so outdoor events rarely face a washout, and an event-dated shirt can be printed well ahead of the day.

Screen Printing in Colton
Should a screen print order in Colton go on tees or hoodies?
Tees, nearly all year. Short sleeves carry the program in Colton, where even the coolest month, December, averages a high of 69°F, and a small hoodie run is enough for cool evenings. Under-18s run slightly ahead of their US share here, so either garment may need some youth sizes; keep the main print simple enough to reduce cleanly for them.
