Gildan 2000 Ultra Cotton T-Shirt — The Heavyweight Champion of Custom Printing

The Gildan 2000 Ultra Cotton T-Shirt is the heavyweight workhorse of the custom apparel industry. At 6.0 oz of 100% preshrunk cotton, it's thicker and more substantial than the Gildan 5000, making it the top choice for customers who want a premium, durable custom t-shirt that feels like quality the moment you put it on.

Built for longevity and loved for its classic fit, the Gildan 2000 is the go-to for businesses, teams, and events that demand a shirt that stands up to daily wear and heavy-duty printing. Printed right here in Canada with no minimums and free shipping on orders over $250.

Fabric & Construction

• 100% preshrunk cotton (fibre content varies by colour — some heathers are 90/10 or 50/50 cotton/polyester)
• 6.0 oz / 200 GSM — true heavyweight that feels substantial and premium in hand
• Taped neck and shoulders for durability and a lay-flat finish that won't stretch or sag
• Double-needle stitching on sleeves and bottom hem for reinforced seams
• Seamless collar — maintains shape wash after wash without curling
• Tear-away label for easy rebranding with your own custom tag or tagless printing
• Tubular construction with a classic straight-cut silhouette
• Quarter-turned to eliminate centre crease

Fit & Sizing

• Classic unisex fit — generous, relaxed cut through the body and shoulders
• Available in S through 5XL — extended sizing for every body type
• Tall sizes available — see Gildan 2000T Ultra Cotton Tall T-Shirt for extra length
• Youth version available — see Gildan 200B Youth Ultra Cotton T-Shirt for kids' sizes
• True to size — runs slightly generous compared to fashion-fit shirts

Gildan 2000 vs Gildan 5000 — What's the Difference?

• Weight: The 2000 is 6.0 oz vs the 5000's 5.3 oz — noticeably thicker and more substantial
• Feel: The 2000 has a denser, more structured feel; the 5000 is slightly softer and lighter
• Opacity: The 2000's heavier fabric provides better opacity — no show-through on white and light colours
• Durability: Both are excellent, but the 2000's extra weight gives it an edge for workwear and heavy-use applications
• Recommendation: Choose the Gildan 5000 for everyday comfort and value; choose the 2000 when you want a premium, heavyweight feel

Best Print Methods for the Gildan 2000

• Screen Printing — the number one choice for the Gildan 2000. The thick, dense cotton surface produces the sharpest, most vibrant screen prints of any blank t-shirt. The extra fabric weight also handles multi-colour and oversized prints without warping.
• DTG (Direct-to-Garment) Printing — excellent on 100% cotton colours. The dense weave absorbs ink deeply for rich, photographic-quality prints with incredible detail.
• DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing — works on all colours including darks and heathers. Vibrant, full-colour prints with a soft hand feel.
• Embroidery — the heavyweight construction provides a rock-solid base for embroidered logos. No puckering or distortion.
• Heat Transfer / Vinyl — great for names, numbers, and simple designs. The smooth surface provides excellent adhesion.

Popular Uses for Custom Gildan 2000 T-Shirts

• Corporate & Business: Premium employee uniforms, executive swag, client gifts, trade show apparel
• Sports & Teams: Team jerseys, tournament shirts, league apparel, coaching staff, fan merchandise
• Schools & Education: Spirit days, graduation tees, club merchandise, fundraising campaigns
• Events & Promotions: Concerts, festivals, charity runs, community events, conference merch

Gildan 6400 Softstyle T-Shirt — The Premium Soft Tee for Custom Printing in Canada

The Gildan 6400 Softstyle T-Shirt is the softer, more modern alternative to the classic Gildan 5000. Made from 100% ring spun cotton with a deluxe 30-single construction, it delivers a noticeably softer hand feel, smoother printing surface, and a more contemporary fitted silhouette that customers love.

If you want custom t-shirts that feel like retail quality — the kind people actually want to wear again and again — the Gildan 6400 is your answer. Printed in Canada with no minimums and free shipping on orders over $250.

Fabric & Construction

• 100% ring spun cotton — softer and smoother than standard cotton (fibre content varies by colour — heathers are cotton/polyester blends)
• 4.5 oz / 153 GSM — lighter weight with a premium retail feel
• Deluxe 30-single yarn — finer thread count produces a smoother surface and softer hand feel than open-end yarns
• Taped neck and shoulders — reinforced for durability and lay-flat comfort
• Side-seamed construction — shaped fit that follows the body rather than hanging like a box
• Double-needle stitching on sleeves and bottom hem for clean, durable seams
• Tear-away label for easy rebranding with your own custom tag
• Fitted silhouette — more contoured than the classic Gildan 5000

Fit & Sizing

• Modern fitted cut — slimmer through the body than the Gildan 5000 or 2000, but not skin-tight
• Available in S through 3XL
• V-Neck version available — see Gildan 64V00 Softstyle V-Neck T-Shirt for a V-neck option
• Ladies' V-Neck available — see Gildan 64V00L Ladies Softstyle V-Neck for a women's contoured cut
• Runs slightly slimmer than classic Gildan — customers who prefer a relaxed fit should consider sizing up

Gildan 6400 Softstyle vs Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton — Which Should You Choose?

• Softness: The 6400 is noticeably softer — ring spun cotton with a 30-single construction feels like a retail tee, while the 5000 has a classic, sturdy cotton feel
• Weight: The 6400 is 4.5 oz (lighter, drapier) vs the 5000's 5.3 oz (thicker, more structured)
• Fit: The 6400 has a modern fitted cut vs the 5000's classic relaxed fit
• Print quality: Both print beautifully, but the 6400's smoother surface produces slightly finer detail
• Price: The 6400 costs slightly more but delivers a premium feel customers notice immediately
• Recommendation: Choose the Gildan 5000 for maximum value and the widest colour range. Choose the 6400 when you want a softer, more modern feel — especially for retail merch, corporate gifts, and events where perception matters.

Best Print Methods for the Gildan 6400

• Screen Printing — the ring spun cotton surface produces exceptionally smooth, detailed prints. The finer yarn means sharper lines and more vibrant colours than standard cotton tees.
• DTG (Direct-to-Garment) — outstanding results on 100% cotton colours. The smooth surface absorbs ink evenly for photographic-quality prints with incredible detail and soft hand feel.
• DTF (Direct-to-Film) — works beautifully on all colours. The lighter fabric weight means the transfer sits smoothly without stiffness.
• Embroidery — works well for small logos and left-chest designs. Use lightweight backing for best results on this lighter fabric.
• Heat Transfer / Vinyl — the smooth ring spun surface provides excellent adhesion for heat-applied graphics.

Popular Uses for Custom Gildan 6400 T-Shirts
