Custom Gildan T-Shirts

Gildan t-shirts have earned their position as the backbone of the custom apparel industry through decades of consistent quality, exceptional value, and an unmatched range of colors and styles. T-Shirt Elephant proudly offers the complete Gildan collection for customization, providing Canadian businesses, organizations, and individuals with reliable, professional-grade blank apparel that delivers outstanding results for screen printing and embroidery projects of every scale.

The Gildan brand story begins with a commitment to value that hasn't wavered since the company's founding. Through vertical integration and manufacturing efficiency, Gildan produces t-shirts that offer remarkable quality at price points that make bulk ordering accessible to organizations with any budget. This value proposition has made Gildan the default choice for countless Canadian sports teams, schools, businesses, and event organizers who need quality custom apparel without premium pricing.

Our Gildan inventory features the complete range of popular styles that have made the brand famous. The iconic G500 (also known as the 5000) Heavy Cotton tee represents Gildan's flagship offering, featuring substantial 5.3 oz fabric that provides excellent durability and a perfect canvas for screen printing. The preshrunk cotton construction minimizes shrinkage concerns, while the classic fit accommodates diverse body types comfortably. Available in over 50 colors, the G500 handles virtually any design concept with professional results.

For applications requiring a softer, more fashion-forward feel, the Gildan G640 (64000) Softstyle has become increasingly popular. This lighter-weight shirt features ringspun cotton that creates a noticeably smoother, softer hand feel compared to traditional open-end cotton. The semi-fitted silhouette provides a more contemporary look while remaining comfortable for extended wear. The Softstyle line includes a comprehensive color palette and expanded size ranges to accommodate diverse customer bases.

The Gildan G200 (2000) Ultra Cotton offers another excellent option, positioning itself between the Heavy Cotton and Softstyle in terms of weight and feel. This versatile style works well for both screen printing and embroidery applications, making it a reliable choice when you need shirts that accommodate multiple decoration methods. The Ultra Cotton line includes long-sleeve variants, pocket tees, and other variations that expand design possibilities.

T-Shirt Elephant's screen printing expertise is perfectly matched to Gildan fabrics. Our high-quality plastisol inks bond exceptionally well with Gildan's cotton and cotton-blend constructions, producing vibrant, durable prints that maintain their appearance through years of wear and washing. The consistent fabric quality across Gildan's production ensures predictable print results order after order, eliminating the variability that can plague lesser brands.

Embroidery on Gildan t-shirts and polo-style shirts produces professional, polished results suitable for corporate applications, team uniforms, and premium merchandise. The fabric weight of Gildan's heavier styles provides excellent stability for embroidery, preventing puckering and distortion that can occur with thinner materials. Our digitizing team optimizes designs specifically for Gildan fabrics, ensuring clean stitching and proper thread tension.

Why do Canadian organizations consistently choose Gildan for their custom apparel needs? The answer encompasses multiple factors beyond simple pricing. Gildan's vertically integrated manufacturing process ensures consistent sizing and quality across every production run. When you order Gildan G500s today and reorder in six months, you receive identical products. This consistency matters tremendously for organizations that reorder regularly or need to match existing inventory.

Gildan's extensive distribution network means immediate availability for most styles and colors. While specialty brands may require extended lead times or encounter stockouts, Gildan's massive inventory ensures we can fulfill orders quickly and reliably. This availability proves crucial for time-sensitive projects where delays aren't acceptable.

The brand's size range accommodates virtually every body type, from youth XS through adult 5XL in many styles. This inclusivity ensures that everyone on your team, in your organization, or at your event receives properly fitting custom apparel. Gildan also offers tall sizes in select styles for those requiring extended body lengths.

Environmental responsibility has become increasingly important to Gildan and their customers. The company has implemented significant sustainability initiatives across their operations, including water reduction programs, renewable energy adoption, and responsible sourcing practices. For organizations prioritizing environmental considerations, Gildan offers a responsible choice without sacrificing quality or value.
