Fave Five
Whether you’re looking to embroider, screen print, or just find the ideal blank t-shirt, Gildan has you covered. We narrowed down the top five of their best styles. These are Ultra Cotton, Heavy Cotton, DryBlend, Performance and SoftStyle. Whatever it is you're looking for, one of those will surely fit the bill. Let's take a closer look at each!
Ultra Cotton
If you are into the full-bodied traditional cotton feel, then this is for you. Gildan's Ultra Cotton is the heaviest of their 100% cotton tee lineup at 6.1 oz. Perfect if you don't want to see through a shirt and really want that old-school, full-bodied cotton vibe.
The best? It's preshrunk, which means it won't shrink up in the wash. And it's got a tear-away tag for optimum ease-just what you want when you're adding in your own branding and don't want that annoying tag getting in the way. Whether printing or embroidering, Ultra Cotton holds up perfectly and makes it a favorite of businesses and brands alike.
Heavy Cotton
Looking for something a little lighter than Ultra Cotton? Gildan's Heavy Cotton line may be just the ticket. Still 100% preshrunk cotton, but weighing 5.3 oz., it's a bit lighter. That's perfect if you want the durability of cotton, but with just less heft.
Like Ultra Cotton, Heavy Cotton will support embroidery and printing with ease. Tough enough to support your designs, with a little more comfortability in day-to-day wear.
DryBlend
Now for something a little different. This is Gildan's own 50/50 cotton/poly blend, giving you really the best of both worlds. The cotton keeps it breathable, while the polyester gives it an added softness and durability.
DryBlend wicks away moisture, meaning it'll keep you cool and dry in its time-perfectly for active wear or warmer days. At 5.6 oz., it is sturdy enough for printing and embroidery; it's pre-shrunk, so you don't have to worry about shrinkage in the wash. Whether you're hitting the gym or just wanting a comfortable, no-nonsense tee, DryBlend is sure to be one of your favorites.
Performance
Is there a shirt that's all about performance? Gildan Performance Apparel is made from 100% polyester-the ultimate in providing such a performance to handle whatever you throw at it. This tee features Aqua FX technology for wicking away sweats, Freshcare for helping it smell fresh. It will serve if one is about to put it on to work out in or tackle any active task.
At about 5 oz., Performance tees are lightweight but rugged. While polyester might not seem like a likely candidate for printing or embroidery, it's been used for years in these industries, so it's totally doable. Just make sure your printer or embroiderer knows what they are doing!
Softstyle
If you're looking for the softest, most comfortable cotton tee, look no more than Gildan's Softstyle. Composed of 100% ring-spun cotton, it isn't just soft-it's super soft. Ring-spun cotton is treated in a special process at the mill that makes this fabric even smoother, stronger, and, of course, way more comfortable than regular cotton.
The Softstyle weighs only 4.5 oz., but that is just for starters as it is tough as nails and tailor-made for printing or embroidery. Then there is a tear-away tag - need things get any better? So if your selling points are new lines of branded merchandise, then this is the way to go. If comfort is king in your world, then Softstyle's the way to go.
