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 Unisex Heavy Cotton Tee (5000)

Which custom printing methods are recommended for the Gildan Heavy Cotton Tee (5000) to ensure a long-lasting design?

For a highly durable and long-lasting design on the Gildan Heavy Cotton Tee (5000), we strongly recommend utilizing traditional custom screen printing. The robust, midweight 5.3 oz/yd² 100% US Cotton fabric is ideally suited for this method, allowing the ink to bind deeply with the cotton fibers to create incredibly resilient and vibrant graphics that are built to last through countless washes. An equally durable and high-quality alternative, particularly for detailed or multi-color designs, is DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing, which guarantees an excellent adhesion and a smooth, professional, retail-ready finish for your custom logo or text.

Is the Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton Tee designed with a tear-away label for custom rebranding projects?

Yes, the Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton Tee is strategically designed with a tear away label, which is a crucial feature for custom rebranding projects. This allows for effortless removal of the manufacturer's tag, enabling you to seamlessly private label the t-shirt and establish a cohesive, retail ready brand identity for your custom apparel line.

How does the Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton compare to the softer Gildan 64000 Softstyle for custom printing

The Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton and the Gildan 64000 Softstyle are optimized for different custom printing outcomes. The 5000 is the durable classic workhorse, using a heavier open-end cotton (5.3 oz) with a traditional, boxier fit. It is exceptionally reliable for high-volume bulk screen printing and offers a cost-effective, sturdy result. Conversely, the 64000 Softstyle is considered the premium retail blank, made with a lighter 4.5 oz ring-spun cotton that results in a significantly softer feel and a more modern, semi-fitted silhouette. For custom printing, the 64000's smooth surface and higher stitch density are ideal for achieving sharper, more vibrant designs using detailed DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing, giving your brand a high-end finish.
