February 2026 New Mockups: Male Model Comfort Colors 1717 and Gildan 18000 Group Flat Lays
February was a big month at MocksByLittleFeather headquarters. Two highly requested mockup styles finally made it into the shop, and both of them are filling gaps that a lot of print on demand sellers have been working around for a while. Here is what dropped this month and why you are going to want these for your listings.
New: Male Model Mockups for the Comfort Colors 1717
The Comfort Colors 1717 Garment-Dyed T-Shirt is one of the best-selling blanks in all of print on demand, and up until now my 1717 mockup collection has been focused on female model shots. That changes this month.
I added a new series of male model mockups for the Comfort Colors 1717, and the setup is clean, natural, and versatile. The model is seated cross-legged on a soft retro rug against a bright white background, shot from both the front and the back. The relaxed, seated pose gives the shirt a natural drape that shows how the garment actually fits and moves on a real person, without looking stiff or overly posed.
Why Male Model Mockups Matter for POD Sellers
This is something I hear from sellers all the time: "I sell to men too, but all my mockups show women." If your target customer is male, or if your designs appeal to both, you need listing photos that reflect that. A male shopper scrolling Etsy is far more likely to click on a listing photo featuring a guy in the shirt than one featuring only female models.
These are especially useful for:
· Men's graphic tee designs and slogan shirts
· Dad shirts and Father's Day designs
· Couples matching shirts where you want to show both the men's and women's version
· Sports and hobby niche designs that skew male
· Unisex designs where you want to show the fit on different body types
· Husband, brother, son, and groomsmen apparel
The front view gives buyers a clear look at where a chest or center design would sit. The back view is ideal if you sell back-print designs, which are increasingly popular in the POD space. Both shots are high-resolution PNGs ready for Canva, Photopea, or Photoshop.
New: Gildan 18000 Two-Sweatshirt Group Flat Lay Mockups
The second drop this month is something I have not seen done well in the mockup space, and I am really excited about it. These are two-sweatshirt folded flat lay mockups featuring the Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt, with both sweatshirts styled together in a single overlapping flat lay shot on a clean white background.
Why Two-Sweatshirt Mockups Are a Game Changer
When a buyer is ordering matching sweatshirts, they want to see both pieces together in one image. Showing two sweatshirts side by side in a single listing photo immediately communicates "matching set" without needing any extra text. It is a visual shortcut that converts browsers into buyers.
These group mockups are built for some of the most profitable niches in print on demand:
· Couples sweatshirts (his and hers, boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife)
· Mom and dad sets
· Grandma and grandpa matching sweatshirts
· Sibling sets
· Bachelorette party sweatshirts where the bride and a bridesmaid or maid of honor have coordinating designs
· Wedding party apparel for bridal groups
· Sports teams and school groups
· Travel groups and family reunion shirts
· Best friend matching sets
The two sweatshirts are folded and layered slightly on top of each other, which gives the composition a natural, styled look without feeling cluttered. The clean white background means your designs stay front and center. You can place two different designs on the two sweatshirts to show a matching set, or use the same design on both if you are selling identical group shirts.
For sellers in the couples or family niche, using this mockup as your primary listing photo instantly signals to buyers that this is a matching set product. You do not need to write "set of 2" in your title when the photo already tells that story. That kind of visual clarity is exactly what Etsy's algorithm rewards with higher click-through rates.
Both the Comfort Colors 1717 male model mockups and the Gildan 18000 group flat lay mockups are available now on my website here and on Etsy (MocksByLittleFeather). All files are high-resolution PNGs, instant digital download, no watermarks, and ready to use commercially.
If you want to see the full collection or grab individual colors, head to the shop and search by style number.
Warmly,
