Question 1

Question 2

Where are Gildan products manufactured?

Accepted Answer

Gildan owns and operates vertically integrated, large-scale manufacturing facilities primarily in Central America and the Caribbean. This structure allows the company to maintain high-quality standards and ensure ethical manufacturing practices. This is also the reason why blank wholesale apparel from Gildan remains budget-friendly and accessible. YouApparel only sweetens the pot with even better deals on Gildan blanks.

Question 3

Where can I purchase these Gildan products in bulk?

Accepted Answer

You can purchase any Gildan product, including their t-shirt blanks, crewneck sweatshirts, hoodies, and more in bulk at competitive wholesale prices from YouApparel.com. We offer a wide selection of colors and sizes with no minimum order requirements, making it convenient for both small and large orders.

Question 4

Do Gildan hoodies shrink?

Accepted Answer

Gildan hoodies, such as the G185, are crafted from a 50% cotton and 50% polyester blend, utilizing pill-resistant air jet yarn. This construction significantly minimizes shrinkage. To maintain the original size and fit, we recommend checking the care label for specific instructions. Generally, you can wash the hoodie in cold water and tumble dry on low heat.

Question 5

Are Gildan hoodies good quality?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Gildan hoodies are known for their quality, comfort, and affordability. The Heavy Blend series, in particular, is praised for its soft feel, durability, and suitability for customization. The use of air jet yarns in these hoodies reduces pilling and enhances the overall texture, contributing to their positive reputation among consumers

Question 6

What is a Heavy Blend hoodie?

Accepted Answer

Heavy Blend hoodie refers to Gildan's line of blank hooded sweatshirts made from a substantial 8 oz. fabric, consisting of a 50% cotton and 50% polyester blend. This combination offers durability, warmth, and comfort, making it a popular choice for both casual wear and customization through printing or embroidery.

Question 7

Which is softer: Gildan Softstyle (64000) vs Heavy Cotton (5000)?

Accepted Answer

The Gildan 64000 Softstyle t-shirt, also known as the G640, is softer between the two, and among the softest 100% cotton blank t-shirts in YouApparel at an exceptional per-unit price that not many other brands can rival. The Gildan 64000 is made of 100% ring-spun cotton while the Gildan 5000 is made of top-quality 100% US cotton. Antique and Heather color options of both styles are made of cotton-polyester blends. Still, the 64000 boasts incredible softness, considerably more than the 5000. This is not just because of ring-spun cotton but also due to the yarn count of the G640. The G640’s 30 singles yarn count means it has a finer, softer yarn compared to the Gildan 5000 with its 20 singles yarn count.

Question 8

Which Gildan model is best for everyday promo tees?

Accepted Answer

Both the Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton tee and the Gildan 2000 Ultra Cotton tee are excellent picks for promotions due to the color options and very low wholesale pricing (more so in YouApparel). Both styles are very good blank t-shirts under $3.50 per piece. In YouApparel, this pricing goes down further for bulk purchases, with our attractive bulk discounts.

Question 9

Are Gildan ring-spun tees more durable than open-end cotton?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ring-spun cotton t-shirts are more durable and of higher quality than open-end cotton which is rugged and more suitable for industrial use.

Question 10

2400 vs. 5400 - what’s the best Gildan long-sleeve for print shops?

Accepted Answer

Both 100% cotton blank long sleeve t-shirts are exceptional choices for print shops, but we would place the 2400 slightly higher up the ladder due to more color options.

Question 11

Are there tall sizes for Gildan tees and hoodies?

Accepted Answer

Not for all styles. Most popular t-shirt and hoodie styles from Gildan come in a tall size variant.

Question 12

Do Gildan polos fit more athletic or boxy?

Accepted Answer

All polo styles except the Gildan 64800L Women's Pique Polo offers a classic fit. There’s more room for these styles than regular-fit polo shirts but we wouldn’t call them boxy by any means. Boxy polo shirts have a squared silhouette. The Gildan 64800L polo is semi-fitted.

Question 13

Which Gildan tee is best for comfort without being too thin?

Accepted Answer

YouApparel recommends the Gildan H000 Hammer T-Shirt. Not thin, not too heavy, very durable, and extremely soft due to the 100% ringspun cotton fabric.

Question 14

Are Gildan garments OEKO-TEX or similar safety certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most of their offerings have the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification. That’s a Gildan specialty.

Question 15

Gildan vs Comfort Colors: which feels heavier and more premium?

Accepted Answer

Gildan is the parent company of Comfort Colors. Comfort Colors falls under the premium category, offering top-notch quality construction, fabrics, and style. Comfort Color blank apparel, despite being reasonably budget-friendly, is on a higher price tier compared to the core product lines from Gildan.
