Very easy to order, received quality merchandise. We will order with them again !
I had a great experience, i ordered safety shirts and sweaters for my team. Everything came on time and is good quality, I will be placing another order.
Product was exactly as I was after. Great service, easy company to deal with
Easy process to edit your design. Good quality, ahead of expected delivery. I
ll order again.
Incredible experience!! Fast delivery and amazing quality.
It was really easy to order. I ordered it and they created the small order quickly. The quality was great and I had no issues. I will order again from them!
I ordered a custom made tank top through another company but they screwed up the order not once but twice so I decided to try another company and found T-shirt elephant. They took my order and promptly created it and shipped it to me without any issues. I recommend T-Shirt Elephant's services to anyone who is planning to make a custom tee or tank top!
The site was easy to use! When the shirt came in it was exactly as expected and no imperfections or weird smells that sometimes happen with production and factories! Will be an awesome gift im excited to give!
We ordered tote bags and hoodies and they were excellent quality! The prints came out so clean and nice! Really impressed and will definitely use T-Shirt Elephant again!
Note: I'm giving 5 stars, but was close to removing 1 star due to using Intelcom as a delivery service. No signature required and anyone who has experienced Intelcom knows how bad they are. Please use trackable deliveries & signature requirements in the future (Canada Post, Fedex, UPS, etc.)
I’m very happy with the sweater I had made for my dad - the quality is very good and it washes well as far as the pigment and embroidering not getting altered. It was also a lot cheaper than the swag that I was otherwise going to buy through a name brand company!
I'm really happy with the final product I received. Proud to support a Canadian company!
The custom shirts were made as designed with fast shipping.
Absolutely love the quality of the Tshirt. I have had this same print made 5 times over the years and these are by far the best for print quality colour. All the highlights are there and not filled in. Great job! I’ll be back!
Great company to work with from design to shipping, ever step was easy and seamless. For any size project, this is the company to deal with.
I’ve gotten custom tees printed from them twice now & honestly the quality, speed of delivery and the ease of making the tee is insane!! 10/10
Great service quick ship good products
Great quality products and fast delivery . I am a repeat customer!
I've been happy with our experience, printing looks good on apparel and delivery time is reasonable.
I ordered branded t-shirts for my workplace from T-Shirt Elephant. Not only did the shirts turn out great! They were ready a full week early, making my life SO much easier. Will absolutely be ordering from them again!
First and foremost it's nice that I know I'm speaking with a human if I have a question or update to make. Secondly the options, price, ease of use, and delivery speed has been fantastic. I've ordered 4 crew sweatshirts and they are incredible comfortable. Very happy to have a Canadian company offering such a wide range of wearable, customizable products!
Great custom pieces!! I order 3 different items with different images and they all turned out amazing!! Website was very user friendly. They have many selections of clothing items and more!! Good quality of materials and great image transfers!! Thank you for turning a vision to reality!!
Love my hats - they're big enough for the guys and fully adjustable for the rest of us

Product Description
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.
- 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
