Scoop Neck

Wholesale Women's Scoop Neck Tees and Tanks

The scoop neck does what a crewneck won't: it reads softer, more retail, and more women's-specific without any of the cut or hardware actually changing. The neckline opens across the collarbone, drops the visual weight a few inches, and reads as boutique instead of uniform tee. For yoga and wellness brands, boutique lifestyle programs, festival and event merch, fitness apparel, and any women's program that's been printing the same crewneck and wants something less generic, the scoop might be your answer. 

District

The District DT7501 Flex Scoop Neck Tee adds spandex and a slight high-low hem for yoga, wellness, and active-lifestyle programs where the standard all-cotton version feels too static. The spandex content is small enough that the tee still prints like cotton but stretches enough to move with the wearer. The DT6020 V.I.T. Rib Scoop brings 2x2 rib construction into the catalog, which produces the vertical-line texture that distinguishes a ribbed tee from a basic jersey. The silhouette layers cleanly over a sports bra or under an open shirt, which is the styling buyers want when the brief calls for a ribbed tee.

Performance: Sport-Tek's Five-Way Split

Sport-Tek covers more of this collection than any other brand because performance scoop necks need different things for different programs. The LST420 Posi-UV Pro is the right pick when sun exposure is the real concern: UPF 50 protection is built into the fabric, sized for outdoor staff at golf courses, marinas, pools, theme parks, hospitality patios, and anywhere a long-sleeve isn't an option. The LST380 Elevate goes the other direction with honeycomb-textured ventilation insets and reflective detail on the right sleeve and lower back, built for running, training, and any program where visibility and ventilation both matter.

The LST360 Heather Contender is the budget option in the performance tier: snag-resistant polyester in a heathered colorway, suited to high-volume athletic programs where per-unit cost matters more than the technical features. The LST400 PosiCharge Tri-Blend Wicking Scoop Neck Raglan bridges performance and lifestyle: the moisture-wicking polyester majority delivers real performance behavior, but the cotton and rayon content keep the soft heathered hand that lifestyle and athleisure programs want. The contrast raglan sleeves push it further toward retail-fashion. The LST400LS is the long-sleeve match in the same construction.

PosiCharge appears across most of the Sport-Tek line and earns its place. The treatment keeps printed and embroidered logos sharp through repeated washing, which is the meaningful upgrade for any program where uniforms get laundered heavily across a full season.

The Sustainability Pick

The Allmade AL2015 Women's Relaxed Tri-Blend Scoop Neck Tee is the only scoop neck in the catalog with verified third-party sustainability credentials behind every garment. The fabric blends Repreve recycled polyester (made from post-consumer plastic bottles, each garment representing measurable bottles diverted from landfill via Repreve's U TRUST traceability program), organic US-grown cotton, and Tencel Modal. Every Allmade product is Carbonfree certified through Carbonfund.org, which means the production-and-shipping carbon footprint is offset at point of sale. For ESG-reporting corporate programs, B Corp-certified brands, university sustainability programs, and any decoration program where the sustainability claim has to hold up to a procurement audit, the AL2015 is the scoop neck that does that work.

Festival, Flowy, and Cotton-Blend

The Next Level 5030 Festival Scoop reads as event merch: relaxed cut, 1x1 baby rib neckline, hemmed sleeves, raw-edge hi-low hem. The combination of styling cues is what makes it the festival pick rather than a standard scoop tee. The Bella+Canvas B8803 Flowy Scoop Muscle Tank takes the silhouette into Bella+Canvas's flowy fabric family with a deeper scoop and a draped muscle-tank cut, made for yoga, wellness, and lifestyle programs where the tank is the brief.

The Tultex 243 Women's Poly-Rich Scoop Neck T-Shirt covers the lighter, more polyester-leaning version of the cotton scoop tier. Lighter hand, brighter heather colors (the poly content delivers heather depth that all-cotton can't reach), and a price that lands well below District's Perfect Weight. For warm-weather programs and high-volume budget runs where the all-cotton hand isn't required, the 243 is the practical Tultex pick.

The Retail-Quality Step Up

The Mercer+Mettle MM1017 Women's Stretch Jersey Relaxed Scoop is what corporate programs reach for when the brief calls for a scoop neck but a basic wholesale blank reads too casual. The fabric is 92/8 poly/spandex jersey with moisture-wicking treatment built in. The construction adds back-seaming, side-seam wraps at the curved hem, and a drape that lets the tee work tucked or untucked. The premium fabric and finished details put this in retail-quality territory at a corresponding price step, which makes it a fit for higher-end hospitality programs, executive offsite gifts, and corporate-program tiers where the apparel needs to read consistently polished.

All scoop neck styles ship same day via UPS Ground and typically arrive in 1 to 3 business days. Automatic volume discounts apply at checkout (no codes required), and free returns are included on every order. Related collections: Women's Apparel, V-Neck Shirts, Triblend Apparel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Scoop neck or crewneck: when does it matter?

For boutique, yoga, wellness, lifestyle, fitness, and festival programs, scoop necks generally fit the brief better because the neckline reads softer and more retail. For athletic, traditional team uniform, corporate uniform, and any program where the apparel is functional rather than fashion-leaning, crewnecks usually win. The decision is what the program wants the apparel to communicate, not which neckline is technically better.

Will a chest logo still fit on a scoop neck?

Yes for left-chest logos and standard chest screen prints. The wider neckline does reduce the available print-safe area on the upper chest, but typical left-chest embroidery and most chest-print designs have plenty of room. For larger chest prints or full-front designs, sample the placement on the actual scoop silhouette before committing to a run — a design that reads cleanly on a crewneck can sit too close to the scoop opening if the placement isn't adjusted.

Which scoop neck for an outdoor staff program?

The Sport-Tek LST420 Posi-UV Pro is built for this. UPF 50 protection is built into the fabric (it does not wash out), PosiCharge keeps printed and embroidered logos sharp through repeated laundering, and the silhouette is sized for daily uniform use. For programs with any combination of outdoor exposure, sun-protection liability, and high logo-decoration durability requirements — golf courses, marinas, pools, theme parks, outdoor hospitality, landscape services — this is the practical pick.

What if the sustainability story has to be documented?

The Allmade AL2015 is the only scoop neck in this catalog with third-party sustainability verification. Carbonfree certification through Carbonfund.org covers the carbon offset claim, Repreve U TRUST traces recycled polyester back to specific bottle counts, and the organic cotton component carries organic certification. For B Corp programs, university sustainability mandates, corporate ESG-tracked merch, and procurement programs that audit sustainability claims, the AL2015 documents what other scoop necks just describe.

Do these orders qualify for volume discounts?

Yes. Automatic volume discounts apply at checkout across the scoop neck collection (no codes required). Same-day ship via UPS Ground, typically arriving in 1 to 3 business days, with free returns on every order.
