More details
Material & Construction
The Gildan 5000 is a crew-neck short-sleeve tee in 100% cotton at 5.3 oz, placing it in the midweight tier. Open-end yarn creates a coarser, more textured fabric surface compared to ring-spun alternatives. The result is a denser, more durable blank suited to workwear and promotional applications.
Tubular construction — knit as a continuous tube rather than cut at the sides — can affect side alignment compared with side-seamed alternatives. The tear-away label allows sellers to remove the factory tag and apply custom branding.
Print Compatibility
Compatible with DTG, DTF, embroidery, and screen print. The 100% cotton fabric provides solid DTG ink absorption, though the open-end surface is less smooth than ring-spun cotton, which can affect fine detail reproduction in DTG prints.
