Gildan 5000T Unisex Heavy Cotton™ Tall T-Shirt – 5.3 oz. 100% U.S. Cotton Blank Tee | LT–4XLT
Gildan 8000T Unisex DryBlend® Tall T-Shirt – 5.5 oz. 50/50 U.S. Cotton/Polyester | LT–4XLT
Gildan is the volume backbone of the blank apparel industry, and for most print shops it is the default starting point when quoting a job. The 5000 Heavy Cotton tee remains the reference garment for screen printing: 6 oz open-end cotton with a firm hand, full opacity under white ink, and taped neck and shoulders that hold shape through commercial washing. Where a softer garment is needed, the 64000 Softstyle line drops to 4.5 oz ring-spun cotton with a closer drape and a smoother print surface for fine halftone work.
The practical advantage of Gildan is not any single style but consistency. Sizing holds batch to batch, colour lots match across reorders months apart, and stock depth is deep enough that a large job rarely needs substitution mid-run. For programmes that reorder the same garment quarterly, that predictability is worth more than a marginally softer fabric.
The range extends past tees into DryBlend and Heavy Blend fleece, performance polyester, youth sizing and toddler styles, which means most standard decoration programmes can be built inside a single brand.
