215M - Russell Athletic Authentic Heavyweight T-Shirt
The Russell 215M is a substantial short-sleeved option for buyers who prefer a heavier jersey T-shirt. Its classic fit suits everyday outfits, casual staff clothing and event merchandise, giving you a simple shape to coordinate across a group. Compare its fabric weight with an existing favourite when choosing the feel you want.
White weighs 210 gsm, while coloured versions weigh 215 gsm. Standard shades use 100% combed ringspun cotton. Sport Heather has a different blend of 80% combed ringspun cotton and 20% black viscose, a useful distinction when selecting a colour or briefing a decorator.
The single jersey body is tubular, with no side seams. Shoulder-to-shoulder tape finishes the inside neck, and the 1x1 rib-knit collar has topstitching. A tear-away label completes the garment details, alongside the classic cut and heavier fabric that distinguish the Authentic Heavyweight style.
Nine colours are listed here in sizes S to 3XL, including Petrol Blue, Tan and Sport Heather as well as familiar dark and bright shades. Compare measurements before a team order and approve the logo process for your selected fabric. Russell allows washing at or below 60°C; decorated garments may require a lower temperature, so use the care instructions for the finished item.

Directions for Use
Compare weight and fit
Use the 210/215 gsm fabric weights to compare the 215M with other T-shirts. Check garment width and length against a comfortable top, then choose S to 3XL in the required colour.
Prepare a decorated order
Agree artwork placement and the decoration process for the selected colour. Identify the Sport Heather cotton/viscose blend if choosing that shade, and approve a sample before a larger production run.
Follow the finished garment’s care instructions
Russell specifies washing at or below 60°C. Follow the sewn-in label for drying and ironing and use a lower temperature or gentler care where the decorator requires it. Keep direct iron heat away from a printed logo.
