The Gildan Heavy Cotton 5000 is a classic heavyweight tee built for lasting wear and print-friendliness. At approximately 5.3 oz/yd² in solids (slightly lower in some blends like Antique Cherry Red, heathers, etc.), it provides strong structure, a ribbed 1” (7/8”) collar, taped shoulders, and double-needle sleeves and hem. The dense cotton knit gives excellent print results.

This tee’s classic fit is comfortable and universal; it works for everyday casual wear, uniforms, or merch lines. The fabric holds soft touches but resists sagging, color loss, and deformation, thanks to quality stitching and preshrunk cotton. It’s a top choice for bold graphics and long-term wear.
