We will clear up the confusion, so you can choose the best Bella+Canvas tee for your next project! The biggest factor that sets these two products apart is that the 3001C has solid colors, and the 3001CVC has heathered colors, which gives the 3001CVC a speckled look. Additionally, the two styles have a different material makeup.
