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!

Common questions about the Gildan 186B YOUTH Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt
The Gildan 186B takes decoration on the full front, full back, left chest and sleeves. Front prints sit above the pouch pocket; the back takes the largest design.
Screen printing is the usual choice: bold front and back prints; the best value from a dozen pieces up. Embroidery suits left-chest or sleeve logos on fleece; premium and hard-wearing.
The Gildan 186B comes in 5 colours in sizes XS to XL, though not every colour is stocked in every size; the size list on this page shows live stock. A blank Gildan 186B starts at $28.25; printed pricing is quoted by quantity in the design tool and drops as the order grows.
The Gildan 186B YOUTH Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt is one of the most popular t-shirts for screen printing in Canada. The smooth cotton surface provides excellent ink adhesion, producing sharp, vibrant prints that last wash after wash. It works beautifully with screen printing, DTG, DTF, heat transfer, and vinyl.
The Gildan 5000 (Heavy Cotton) is 5.3 oz with a classic, slightly heavier feel, ideal for screen printing. The Gildan 2000 (Ultra Cotton) is 6.0 oz with an even more substantial weight. Both are 100% cotton. Choose the 5000 for the best balance of printability and comfort, or the 2000 for maximum durability.
