There is a reason Gildan is the most recognized name in the printwear industry.

Our decoration services are engineered to turn these versatile garments into premium merchandise with flawless customizations, sharp detailing, and excellent precision.

Why Choose Gildan Wholesale?

Gildan is the global standard for a reason. Their vertically integrated manufacturing ensures that a "Large Navy Blue" shirt you buy today matches the one you buy next year.
  • Massive Color Selection: From "Safety Green" to "Antique Cherry Red," Gildan offers the widest color palette in the industry.
  • Consistent Printability: High stitch density across their lines ensures smooth printing surfaces for screen printing, DTG, and embroidery.
  • Tear-Away Tags: Most modern Gildan styles feature tear-away labels, allowing you to easily re-brand them as your own.
Above all, most of the styles from the brand are really budget-friendly no matter the source. Compared to Port & Company and other similar brands, Gildan offers a broader, more versatile catalog, with many styles made from authentic, top-quality US cotton, to meet diverse needs.

Gildan T-Shirts Wholesale

We stock the "Big Three" of the Gildan t-shirt world, allowing you to choose the perfect weight and feel for your budget. When sourcing Gildan bulk t-shirts, make sure you consider the fabric differences.
Gildan Ultra Cotton vs. Heavy Cotton: This is the most common question we get. Here is the breakdown:
  • Heavy Cotton (Gildan 5000): At 5.3 oz, it is a mid-weight, open-ended cotton fabric. It is durable, cost-effective, and perfect for large promotional giveaways where budget is the priority.
  • Ultra Cotton (Gildan 2000): An upgrade to the Gildan 5000 with a heavier build and classic fit at 6.0 oz. The key difference in Gildan Ultra Cotton vs. Heavy Cotton is not just the weight, but the structure. Ultra Cotton feels more substantial and "old school," making it a favorite for workwear and band merchandise.
The Premium Choice: Gildan Hammer Tee
For brands that want a retail-quality feel without the retail price tag, the Gildan Hammer tee (H000) is a game-changer. Made from 6.0 oz combed ring-spun cotton, it offers the heavyweight durability of the Ultra Cotton but with a significantly smoother, softer face. This ultra-smooth surface makes it a great canvas for detailed, high-resolution prints.

Gildan Hoodies Wholesale

Gildan hooded sweatshirts are among the most preferred styles for people getting into apparel decoration. The Gildan 18500 Heavy Blend Hoodie (G185), in particular, has been dominating the market for years. And for good reason.
  • Air Jet Yarn: This technology creates a softer feel and, most importantly, reduces pilling. Your Gildan wholesale hoodies will look new even after multiple washes.
  • 50/50 Blend: Called the “Heavy Blend,” the equal mix of cotton and polyester prevents shrinking and ensures the color stays vibrant.

Gildan Sweatshirts Wholesale

Need warmth without the hood? The Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend Crewneck (G180) is the companion to the hoodie. Buying Gildan sweatshirts bulk is the smartest way to outfit a large workforce or school class for the winter. They feature double-needle stitching at the shoulder, armhole, neck, waistband, and cuffs, ensuring they can handle the rigors of daily wear.
Check out our review of both the G180 and the G185 to discover why they still remain popular even after years since launch.

Gildan Polos Wholesale

Among our bestselling blank polo shirt styles for staff uniforms, the Gildan DryBlend Polo (8800) is praised by our customers for its fit and printability.
  • Moisture Wicking: The DryBlend technology pulls sweat away from the body, keeping the wearer cool and professional in high-heat environments.
  • Contoured Welt Collar: Resists curling, so wearers always look sharp.

Gildan Tank Tops 

For summer events, gyms, and landscape crews, we recommend the Gildan Ultra Cotton Tank Top (2200).
  • Bound Neck and Armholes: Ensures the tank holds its shape and doesn't stretch out after a long day of wear.
  • Quarter-Turned Body: Eliminates the center crease often found in cheaper wholesale tanks.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Gildan Softstyle and Heavy Cotton?

The Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton is a standard, boxy fit made from thicker, open-ended cotton (5.3 oz). The Gildan 64000 Softstyle is a "fashion fit" that is lighter (4.5 oz), and made from ring-spun cotton for softness. The Softstyle also has a more tapered cut with shorter sleeves.

Do Gildan shirts shrink?

Gildan 100% cotton shirts are "pre-shrunk," but all cotton will shrink slightly (typically 3-5%) when exposed to high heat. To minimize this, we recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on low. The 50/50 blends (like DryBlend and Heavy Blend) are known to shrink significantly less.

Which Gildan shirt is best for embroidery?

We recommend the Gildan 2000 Ultra Cotton or the H000 Hammer Tee. Their heavier weight (6.0 oz) provides a sturdier foundation that supports the tension of embroidery stitches better than lighter fabrics.

Are Gildan tags tear-away?

Yes, most current Gildan styles, including the G5000, G64000, and H000, feature tear-away labels. You can "relabel" them with your own brand size tag on the inside neck.

What is "Air Jet Yarn" in Gildan hoodies?

The MVS Air Jet Yarn is a spinning technology used in the Heavy Blend line (G185/G180). It creates a softer surface feel and drastically reduces "pilling" after washing.

Do you offer bulk discounts on mixed sizes?

Yes. At ShirtsBargain, your bulk discount is based on the total quantity of items in your cart. You can mix sizes and colors of the same style and still qualify for the higher tier pricing.

Is the Gildan G5000 good for discharge printing?

Generally, no. Discharge printing works best on 100% reactive-dyed cotton. While the Gildan 5000 is cotton, some colors may not discharge well. For advanced printing techniques like discharge, we recommend the Gildan Hammer Tee or Softstyle ring-spun tee for better results. Feel free to talk to our Customer Support executives for recommendations that won’t disappoint.

How do I know if I need Ladies-specific sizing for Gildan shirts?

Unisex Gildan shirts (like the Gildan 5000) are cut straight. If you are outfitting a team that prefers a more feminine silhouette, look for the "L" suffix (e.g., Gildan 5000L). These feature shorter sleeves, a tapered waist, and a narrower neckline.

What is the difference between "Antique" and "Heather" colors in Gildan shirts?

In Gildan's lineup, "Antique" colors (like Antique Cherry Red) are usually 90% cotton / 10% polyester. "Heather" colors (like Dark Heather) are typically 50% cotton / 50% polyester (or 35/65). This blend difference affects how they feel and how they take ink.

What is the heaviest Gildan t-shirt you sell?

The heaviest options in ShirtsBargain’s Gildan selection are the Gildan H000 Hammer Tee and the Gildan 2000 Ultra Cotton, both weighing in at 6.0 oz per square yard. These are considered "heavyweight" tees in the industry.
