Screen printing through Palmdale's year
Summer heat sets the blank choice: with about 113 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. Fleece is a short-season job here: average highs fall below 65°F for only 3 months, so a modest hoodie and long-sleeve run covers them. Average highs reach 70°F or more only from April to October, a shorter tee season than the heat suggests, so a long-sleeve version of the design stretches it into the cooler months. With about 36 days a year at 100°F or more, tanks and sleeveless tees earn a place in the summer run; plan a smaller front graphic for them, since a tank's deep armholes narrow the print area. With some 54 nights a year at or below freezing, crewnecks and hoodies printed with the tee's front art carry a design through the cold months.

Screen Printing in Palmdale
Should a screen print order in Palmdale go on tees or hoodies?
Both, split by season. Hoodies and long sleeves cover December to February, when Palmdale's highs average under 65°F, so time the fleece run to finish before December; tees and tanks take the warmer months. Youth sizes are likely either way, since Palmdale's under-18 share is well above the US figure; check the hoodie art on a youth small, where the pocket leaves only a short print area.
