Choosing the Perfect Gildan Tee Shirt

If you need to buy blank tees, Gildan is an amazing option when it comes to balancing comfort, look, and affordability. With a huge range of style and color options, Gildan is one of the tried and true brands trusted by garment printers. At Clothing Authority, we offer great deals on Gildan tee shirts as well as many other top brands. No matter what you would just like to order blank tees for personal use or for garment printing, we have the shirts you need.

The standard Gildan shirts are the G200 and the G500. These shirts are constructed from 100% preshrunk cotton, with small amounts of polyester used in antique and heather-colored shirts. The G500 will be slightly thicker and heavier than the standard G200. These sturdy cotton shirts have an accurate fit and are ideal for screen printing, digital garment printing, and pressed vinyl printing.

We also offer ring-spun cotton Gildan tee shirts. The ring spinning process occurs before the fabric is even made. Once the cotton has been turned into the fine yarn needed to make garments, ring spinning tightens the fibers to create a finer yarn that looks neat and uniform. The resulting garments produced from this finer yarn will be softer and will have a more styled fit. The G640 is Gildan’s ring spun option, with variations for long sleeve and V neck options.

If you want the comfort of cotton, but you also want to stay dry, Gildan’s G800 DryBlend shirts are a great option. These shirts use a 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester. The polyester fibers help to wick moisture away from the skin and it lowers the fabric's ability to retain that moisture. These shirts still have the soft feel of a cotton garment but will keep you significantly drier.

Gildan also produces a line of full polyester shirts. These shirts are designed to wick away as much sweat as possible and have a smooth silky texture. Unlike cotton fibers, polyester has a difficult time retaining moisture, this makes these ideal tees for outdoor and athletic events. Poly shirts are often designed with layers that help pull the sweat away from your skin and towards the outermost layer of the garment. These shirts can be difficult to print on, especially for digital printers, but are ideal for dye sublimation printing. The G420 is Gildan’s short sleeve poly option.

So if you need Gildan tee shirts, you can find all of these options and more at Clothing Authority. When shopping for Gildans note that alternate versions of a style will be denoted by a B for youth shirts, an L for ladies shirts, and with alternate numbers in place of zeros for different styles using the same fabric i.e. a long sleeve G200 is a G240. If you have any questions about Gildans or any of our other garments, you can reach a member of our team by phone at 888-929-5262.
