Custom Gildan T-shirts

The Gildan selection on Gooten covers 14 styles across different weights, fits, and use cases. On the unisex side, you’ll find the Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton Crew Neck Tee and the Gildan 64000 Softstyle Crew Neck Tee, both bestsellers. The Gildan 2000 Fine Jersey Crew Neck Tee is listed as trending. For V-necks, there’s the Gildan 64V00 Unisex Softstyle V-Neck and the Gildan H000 Unisex Heavyweight Cotton Crew Neck. Women’s options include the Gildan 5000L Heavy Cotton Crew Neck, the Gildan 64000L Softstyle Crew Neck, the Gildan 64V00L Softstyle V-Neck, the Gildan 5V00L Heavy Cotton V-Neck, and the Gildan 2000L Women’s Heavyweight Cotton Crew Neck. For tall sizing, the Gildan 2000T Men’s Ultra Cotton Tall Tee rounds things out. There are also three tie-dye styles: the Gildan 5000CY Cyclone, the Gildan 5000CR Crystal, and the Gildan 5000MS Twisted.

These two lines represent different priorities. Heavy Cotton, found in styles like the Gildan 5000 and 5000L, uses a thicker fabric construction that feels more structured and substantial. It’s the classic Gildan most people are familiar with from school events, team shirts, and branded merchandise. Softstyle, in styles like the Gildan 64000 and 64000L, is a lighter, ring-spun cotton that has a noticeably smoother hand feel against the skin. It’s better suited for fashion-forward designs and buyers who care about wearability as much as print quality. If you’re targeting everyday comfort shoppers on Etsy or Shopify, Softstyle is often the stronger choice. If your audience values durability and a more classic shirt weight, Heavy Cotton holds up well.

Three Gildan tie-dye styles are available through Gooten. The Gildan 5000CY has a Cyclone pattern, the 5000CR has a Crystal pattern, and the 5000MS has a Twisted pattern. Each comes pre-dyed with multi-colored, one-of-a-kind coloring built into the fabric. These aren’t blank shirts waiting for a design. They sell well to buyers who want something visually expressive out of the box, like festival merchandise, music-related stores, youth brands, or gift shops leaning into the retro-craft aesthetic. Adding a simple logo or text print on top of a tie-dye base can make for a very strong product that stands out in search results on Etsy or TikTok Shop without requiring complex artwork.

Yes. The Gildan 2000T is a Men’s Ultra Cotton Tall Tee designed specifically for taller body proportions. The torso length is extended compared to the standard unisex cut, which addresses a common sizing frustration for taller customers who find regular shirts too short. This is a niche that is underserved in most print-on-demand catalogs, so having it in your store can attract buyers who actively search for tall-size options. It also tends to have lower competition in search listings compared to standard sizes.

Gildan tees in Gooten’s catalog use DTG, Direct-to-Garment, for most styles. DTG applies ink directly into the cotton fibers, producing a breathable, soft print that holds up well over time. For some styles, DTF, Direct-to-Film, is also available. DTF transfers a printed film layer onto the fabric surface, which gives stronger color saturation on darker garments and allows for more complex design elements on fabrics where DTG absorption is less predictable. Checking which technique applies to your chosen style is worth doing, especially if you’re selling designs with fine line work or dark base colors.

There are several. The Gildan 5000L Women’s Heavy Cotton Crew Neck Tee and the Gildan 64000L Women’s Softstyle Crew Neck Tee are both bestsellers with a women’s-specific cut that tapers slightly through the body compared to the unisex versions. For V-necks, the Gildan 64V00L Women’s Softstyle V-Neck and the Gildan 5V00L Women’s Heavy Cotton V-Neck provide two weight options with a more feminine neckline. The Gildan 2000L Women’s Heavyweight Cotton Crew Neck rounds out the women’s side. Having dedicated women’s cuts in your catalog rather than defaulting entirely to unisex sizing can improve conversion rates with female shoppers, who often size down or skip unisex tees altogether.

Gildan’s color options are broad. Core shades like White, Black, Navy, Sport Grey, Ash, Charcoal, Cardinal, Royal, and Military Green appear across multiple styles. Beyond the basics, you’ll find options like Azalea, Sand, Heliconia, Dark Heather, Gold, Maroon, Forest Green, Antique Cherry Red, and many others, with availability varying by specific style. The breadth here is one of Gildan’s strengths for print-on-demand stores. You can build a cohesive product line using one style across a consistent palette without switching brands, which simplifies your catalog management on Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce.

It’s probably the most practical choice for exactly those use cases. The blank cost is competitive, the sizing range covers most adult bodies, and the brand is recognizable enough that buyers have baseline expectations for quality. For school fundraisers, charity runs, small business uniforms, sports team shirts, or band merch sold through Etsy or a WooCommerce store, Gildan delivers consistent results without the premium price of a fashion brand. The Heavy Cotton styles in particular have the weight and structure that tend to photograph well in flat lays and hold print colors cleanly, which matters when you’re creating product images for a listing.

Gooten integrates directly with Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and TikTok Shop. Once your store is connected, you map your Gildan products in the Gooten catalog to your listings, set your retail prices, and orders are automatically routed to production when a customer buys. There’s no manual order processing on your end. For developers, Gooten also offers a custom API that allows for deeper integration or building a fully custom storefront outside of the standard platform options.
