The quality of the shirts were really nice for the price! Satisfied with both the material and the print quality. They were also super helpful in ensuring our shirts were ready in time for our event.
Fantastic quality of print, and the organic cotton shirt itself is very soft and well made.

We had a great experience with T-Shirt Elephant. The quality of the shirts is excellent, and the customer service was outstanding throughout the entire process. They were responsive and helpful. We’re very happy with the final product and would definitely recommend T-Shirt Elephant!
I had a short time line for shirts to be made and shipped across the country. T Shirt elephant did not disappoint even got the shirts to me early !! so beyond impressed with this company
Excellent screen printing quality, and excellent selection of high quality garments. Love that I can order just 1 item instead of a large minimum order most custom garment companies require.
I've ordered a number of custom t-shirts from T-Shirt Elephant and have always been pleased with the results. The design software is easy to use, and the selection of colours and fabrics is endless. Turn-around time is short, normally just a few days before my products are in my hands. Recommended!

Great turn around time for our team shirts and easy to contact when we had additions to our original order!
Easy to use website, quality product and effective service and delivery
The process of creating my custom hoodie for my partner was easy and clear on T-shirt elephants site. This was my first time making and ordering anything custom and they made it super easy. I chose them for that reason, and they are Canadian. No weird tax cross border stuff. my order even shipped earlier than was estimated which was awesome as it was a present. I highly recommend them.
Got a good quality shirt. They responded quickly over email when I was worried it would not arrive in time and got it to me on time.
Fast and affordable pick up for single items!
Great shirts and prices for small batches. Will use again!
Hi Jason,
I just wanted to let you know that the T-shirts worked out really well! The sizing was spot on, the quality exceeded my expectations, and the design turned out exactly as I had submitted it. Thank you for all your help throughout the ordering process. I really appreciate your assistance and responsiveness. Everyone was very happy with how they turned out.
Thanks again!
Very good service and product quality!
I used T-shirt Elephant to make t-shirts for my son's birthday. The website is easy to navigate and the customer service team was helpful. It took about 2weeks for my order to be delivered and I was very happy with the quality of the t-shirts and prints on them. I will definitely use T-shirt Elephant again for making custom t-shirts in the future.
The Quality of the print has been great. The design tool is very helpful as well.
I’ve placed another order and will be sharing my experience with my contractor friends.
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
