How to Measure

Lay your garment flat on a level surface and smooth out any wrinkles before measuring. Follow these two steps to find your ideal size:

(A) Body Width: Measure straight across the chest from one underarm seam to the other. This "Body Width" measurement represents the width of the garment, not the full circumference of your chest.
(B) Body Length: Measure vertically from the highest point of the shoulder (where the collar meets the shoulder seam) down to the very bottom of the hem.

FAQ

Gildan Custom Kids Heavy Cotton Tee (5000B)

What are the key differences between the Gildan 5000B Heavy Cotton Youth Tee and the Bella Canvas 3001Y Youth T-Shirt

The Gildan 5000B and the Bella+Canvas 3001Y represent two distinct paths for custom youth apparel. The Gildan 5000B is built for exceptional durability and value, featuring a heavyweight 5.3 oz/yd² cotton and a classic, tubular (no side-seams) fit, making it the perfect economical choice for large school, camp, and bulk orders. Conversely, the Bella+Canvas 3001Y offers a premium retail feel; it is made from softer, lighter 4.2 oz/yd² Airlume Combed and Ring-Spun Cotton with a modern, side-seamed construction for a more tailored fit. Choose the Gildan 5000B for a sturdy, cost-effective, traditional tee and the Bella+Canvas 3001Y for a luxurious, fashion-forward youth shirt that delivers a superior canvas for vibrant, high-detail screen printing.

Is the Gildan 5000B Kids Heavy Cotton T-Shirt Oeko-Tex certified and made with ethically sourced US cotton?

Absolutely. The Gildan 5000B is a testament to ethical sourcing, crafted using 100% sustainably grown and ethically harvested US cotton as a proud member of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol. Furthermore, it is OEKO-TEX certified, assuring buyers of its safety and quality by using low-impact dyes, and is manufactured in socially conscious, WRAP-certified facilities.

What printing methods work best for creating vibrant, durable custom designs on the 5.3 oz. Gildan 5000B Heavy Cotton?

The 5.3 oz heavy and smooth 100 US Cotton of the Gildan 5000B is the perfect foundation for multiple custom methods. For maximum durability and color vibrancy on a youth tee we recommend Screen Printing and DTF (Direct to Film) transfers. These techniques bond excellently with the heavy cotton ensuring your personalized graphics remain clear bright and long-lasting through play and washing. Embroidery is also a great choice to add a premium textured detail to this classic-fit canvas.
