Regular Tees VS Comfort Colors
When you buy a Fright-Rags shirt, you’re not just getting killer artwork — you’re getting a shirt that’s made to feel as good as it looks. We know comfort, fit, and feel matter just as much as the design itself. That’s why we offer two types of premium tees: our regular ringspun cotton tees and Comfort Colors.
Both are soft, high-quality, and made to last, but there are some key differences that might help you decide which one is right for you.
Our Regular Tees
(American Apparel 2001 or similar)
These are the shirts most of our customers know and love — and the base for most of our classic Fright-Rags releases.
What to expect:
Fabric: 100% ringspun cotton — ultra-soft and smooth
Weight: Lightweight to midweight (approximately 4.3 oz)
Fit: Modern, more fitted cut
Feel: Soft, breathable, and slightly stretchy
Vibe: Classic band tee — perfect for everyday wear or layering
Our regular tees are designed to feel broken-in right out of the box. They’re versatile, flattering, and ideal for fans who like a modern fit that’s easy to wear anywhere.
Comfort Colors 1717
Comfort Colors shirts are known for their heavier weight and vintage-inspired feel. These tees are pigment-dyed after construction, giving them a unique, washed look that feels like a favorite shirt you’ve owned for years.
What to expect:
Fabric: 100% ringspun cotton
Weight: Heavier (approximately 6.1 oz)
Fit: Relaxed, slightly boxier cut
Feel: Thick, durable, and extremely soft
Vibe: Vintage, lived-in, streetwear-inspired
Because Comfort Colors shirts are garment-dyed, each one has subtle variations in color, adding to that worn-in aesthetic.

Why We Offer Both
Every horror fan has their own style. Some people want a lighter, fitted tee that feels like a classic band shirt. Others prefer a heavier shirt with a vintage look and relaxed fit. By offering both options, we make sure there’s something for everyone.
No matter which style you choose, all of our shirts are made with premium ringspun cotton and printed with the same high-quality screen printing or direct-to-garment printing you expect from Fright-Rags.
Final Thoughts
If you like your shirts soft, fitted, and lightweight, our regular tees are the way to go.
If you prefer heavier, relaxed, and vintage-inspired, Comfort Colors is your perfect match.
Either way, you’re getting a shirt designed by horror fans, for horror fans — built to last and made to be worn
Pro Tip
If you like an oversized or streetwear look, many customers choose to size up when ordering Comfort Colors tees.
