Gildan Heavy Cotton™ T-Shirt

The Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton™ T-Shirt is a classic, budget-friendly custom T-shirt with a more substantial feel than a lightweight fashion tee. Its familiar fit and durable everyday construction make it a practical choice for custom shirts when you want to keep garment cost down without moving to an ultra-light blank.

Why choose the Gildan 5000?

• Classic T-shirt feel: A traditional fit and heavier hand make the 5000 a straightforward choice for teams, events, staff shirts, fundraisers, school groups, reunions, and everyday branded apparel.
• Good value for group orders: The lower blank cost makes it especially useful when quantity matters and you still want a dependable name-brand shirt.
• Built for custom graphics: Print-MO applies full-color DTF transfers to this shirt, making it well suited to logos, illustrations, multi-color artwork, and other custom designs without screen-print setup.
• Lots of ways to make it yours: Choose your garment color, sizes, and design placement in the Designer Studio before adding the finished shirts to your order.

5000 vs. Softstyle 64000

Pick the Gildan 5000 when your priority is a classic, more substantial T-shirt at a lower blank price. If you care more about a softer feel and a more modern, semi-fitted cut, compare the Gildan Softstyle® 64000. Both work for custom apparel; the better choice comes down to the feel, fit, and budget you want for the order.
