When it comes to t-shirts, Gildan has long been a trusted name, known for its durability, versatility, and affordability. But now, Gildan is taking comfort to a whole new level with its latest breakthrough in soft cotton technology. The iconic Gildan Heavy Cotton™ (G5000) and Ultra Cotton® (G2000) families have been remastered to deliver an even softer feel, improved fit, and enhanced quality. Whether you’re shopping for unisex, women’s, or youth t-shirts, these upgraded classics are designed to look sharp and print even sharper.
In this blog, we’ll explore why Gildan’s latest innovations are a game-changer, how they’re perfect for Direct to Film (DTF) printing, and creative ways to customize them for small businesses or personal use.
The Gildan G5000 has been a staple for years, and now it’s better than ever. Made with 100% USA-grown cotton, it offers a 5.3 oz./yd² fabric weight that’s lightweight yet durable.
Versatile Fabric Blends:
100% Cotton: Available in most colors.
Blended Options: Heather, Neon, and Safety Colors feature 50/50 cotton/polyester blends for enhanced durability and vibrant hues.
Specialty Colors: Ash Grey (99/1 cotton/polyester) and Sport Grey (90/10 cotton/polyester) offer unique variations.
Safety Standards: Safety Green meets ANSI/ISEA 107 high-visibility standards, making it ideal for workwear.
The Gildan G2000 offers a slightly heavier feel with its 6 oz./yd² fabric weight, making it perfect for those who prefer a more substantial t-shirt.
Fabric Blends for Every Need:
100% Cotton: Most colors are pure cotton.
Blended Options: Heather and Safety Colors feature a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend, while Antique Colors and Sport Grey are 90/10.
Safety Compliance: Like the G5000, Safety Green is compliant with ANSI/ISEA 107 standards.
Both the G5000 and G2000 families feature:
Enhanced Softness: Gildan’s soft cotton technology delivers a smoother, more comfortable feel.
Improved Fit: Designed for better comfort and movement.
Better Printability: These shirts now offer even sharper, more vibrant results for screen printing, DTF, and other decoration methods.
Direct to Film (DTF) printing has quickly become a favorite for small businesses and hobbyists due to its vibrant colors, durability, and versatility. Gildan’s improved t-shirts are the ideal canvas for DTF designs.
Enhanced Printability: The smooth, soft cotton surface ensures your DTF transfers adhere seamlessly, resulting in bold, vibrant designs.
Durability: The quality fabric stands up to multiple washes, maintaining the integrity of your designs.
Fabric Variety: With options like blended fabrics for heather colors and 100% cotton for pure, crisp prints, you can customize for any occasion or purpose.
Versatility: Available in unisex, women’s (G5000L/G2000L), and youth sizes (G5000B/G2000B), making them perfect for all demographics.
Custom Logos: Add your business logo to G5000 or G2000 t-shirts for a professional yet budget-friendly uniform. Use Safety Green for high-visibility workwear.
Event Merchandise: Create t-shirts for corporate events, trade shows, or fundraisers with bold, colorful DTF designs.
Seasonal Promotions: Customize shirts with seasonal designs for holidays or special sales. For example, use the Heather Colors for cozy, autumn-themed prints.
Family Reunions: Add fun slogans or family crests to the G2000 for durable, keepsake t-shirts everyone will cherish.
DIY Projects: Use DTF to create personalized designs for gifts, hobbies, or themed parties.
Custom Kidswear: The G5000B youth t-shirts are perfect for adding playful, colorful designs for school events or sports teams.

The smoother fabric ensures that your designs, whether they’re detailed illustrations or simple logos, appear crisp and professional. Plus, with 100% USA-grown cotton, you can feel good about supporting high-quality, locally sourced materials.
50/50 Cotton/Polyester Blends: Offer vibrant color reproduction, especially for neon or heather shades. The polyester content helps designs last longer, making them great for workwear or sportswear.
