Unisex Heavy Cotton Tee
The Gildan 5000 Unisex Heavy Cotton Tee is the workhorse of personalized apparel — a durable, print-friendly blank built to showcase your designs with sharp detail and enduring color.
Key features designed for daily wear and high-visibility prints:
- 100% cotton, midweight fabric at 5.3 oz/yd² (180 g/m²) — comfortable year-round and primed for vibrant, long-lasting prints.
- Seamless body — no side seams, giving a smoother fit and a cleaner surface for designs.
- Reinforced shoulders — keeps its shape wash after wash, reducing sagging or stretching in busy wear scenarios.
- Tear-away label — scratch-free comfort for all-day wear and easy removal if needed.
- Classic unisex fit with crew neck — a timeless silhouette that works for casual, workwear, or event apparel.
- Print-friendly, durable color — tightly knit fabric helps designs pop and stay true after repeated washing.
- Ethical and safe — made from 100% US cotton, ethically grown and harvested; proud member of the US Cotton Trust Protocol; Oeko-Tex certified for safety and quality.
Color note: The White color variant may appear off-white rather than bright white due to the fabric properties.
Printing details — Sleeve prints and neck labels are produced using Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing when fulfilled by select providers (OPT OnDemand and Shirt Monkey). For other fulfillment paths, printing methods may vary to suit your project needs.
Who is this for?
- Brands building personalized merchandise, schools, clubs, teams, or event organizers seeking a reliable, blank canvas for logos and artwork.
- Creators prioritizing comfort with a smooth surface ideal for vibrant screen, heat transfer, or DTF designs.
- Anyone who wants a durable, everyday tee that holds its shape and color through repeated washes.
Why choose the Gildan 5000 over other tees?
