What Our Customers Say

Great and speedy experience, sales rep Jason was very helpful. Everything came in ahead of schedule and our client loved it!
Great experience fast and efficient.
Great product! The quality was amazing, and there was a lot of creativity in creating the apparel.
First time buying a custom item from T-Shirt Elephant. Not only was the t-shirt quality and customization quality top notch, but also the site was easy to navigate and the customization feature was very user friendly. I am 100% going to be making more of my work shirts and sweaters through T-Shirt Elephant going forward!
The t-shirts turned out great! Quality material and the print looks just like the design.
My T-shirts arrived on time, look great and are of great quality. Their website is also really easy to use. I give them 5 stars and can easily recommend them.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently ordered some custom apparel for my business, PhenX Stucco & Siding. We had a few issues with the hoodies and getting everything exactly how I wanted it, but the team at T-Shirt Elephant was great to deal with.
They were patient, professional, and willing to work with me to make things right. They took the time to respond to my concerns and made sure I was looked after.
Customer service goes a long way, especially when you're running your own business. I really appreciate the effort they put in.
Thanks again to the team at T-Shirt Elephant!
Quality is great, they came fast and customer service is excellent.
Wow, blown away by the results and the customer service.
I ordered one shirt with a specific design and it turned out better then expected. Price and quality of shirt was also excellent.
This was my first order. I LOVE my new Tshirts!! Thank you for offering different colours too! These are so comfy and I will be placing another order soon!
We recently placed an order for custom event shirts and, unfortunately, there was a printing issue with our logo. After bringing it to their attention, the team took accountability and worked with us to make things right.
They arranged to have the shirts reprinted and expedited the order to ensure we received everything in time for our event.
Mistakes can happen, but what really matters is how a company handles them. We truly appreciate their willingness to correct the issue, their professionalism, and the effort they made to meet our deadline.
Thank you to the team at T-Shirt Elephant for making things right. Great customer service!
Very good experience.... from the flexible , intuitive shirt design system to the quality of the end product. Top quality cotton shirt.
I really enjoy T-shirt elephant. A Canadian company, the way to make a T-shirt is very easy to do and they have great selections of shirts
Easy experience good quality shirts and shipping exactly as advertised. Thanks.
Five stars. The ordering process was very easy, but the real reason for my rating is how they handled an issue with my order. It arrived slightly late, and while I was understandably upset, their team stepped up. They returned my call, remained professional and calm, and made things right. Mistakes can happen—it’s how a company responds that matters. I really appreciate how they handled the situation and will definitely order from them again.
Great print shop locally in Canada! The website designer was easy to use, prices are good. T-shirts and stickers are great quality. Shipping was fast and customer service was helpful. Highly recommend!
Was a bit hesitant given the one off cost of a custom tshirt (although the price still really isn't unreasonable), but I wasn't disappointed. It is better than I had hoped for. The shirt material quality is exactly what I had wanted (and researched for) with a vintage feel to the material, and the quality of the printed graphics couldn't be better. I'll definitely order more.
Received my shirt and it was exactly as I created it on the website. Turned out so good! The shirt itself is good quality, doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart, comfortable to wear. Design and print held up after washing as well, no cracks or breaking. Still, as with any graphic tee, would suggest washing inside out in cold water and hanging to dry to give it the best chance of success.
Great quality sweater and high quality image printing. A very professional looking sweater. Used this for my children's book world to promote the characters. This was a trial run. Will definitely order more from T-shirt Elephant.
Have ordered twice now, both times were excellent. Lots of apparel to choose from, and good tools to help with designing your own.
Very happy with my shirt! Great quality, can't wait to wear it.
I decided to give T-Shirt Elephant a try because I’m considering using them for a project I’m working on, and I have to say, they exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was the range of choices. Whether you’re working within a budget or looking for a higher-quality product, there are plenty of options to fit the needs of your project.
The website was easy to use, the ordering process was straightforward, and the quality of the finished product was excellent. Very happy with my experience and I’ll definitely be using them again.
The quality of apparel and print are top notch - the graphics look amazing, will use again for future purchases!

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.
- 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
- Retail Merchandise: Band merch, artist collections, pop-up shops, online clothing brands — the retail-quality feel customers expect when buying a t-shirt
- Corporate Gifting: Premium employee gifts, client appreciation, executive swag, trade show giveaways that people actually keep
- Events & Experiences: Music festivals, food events, charity galas, conference merch, VIP packages
- Sports & Fitness: Gym merchandise, yoga studios, running clubs, CrossFit boxes — lightweight and breathable
- Hospitality & Service: Restaurant staff, bar merchandise, hotel branded apparel — modern fit looks professional
