The Gildan 2000 is a 6.0 oz./yd², pre-shrunk 100% cotton unisex tee with a classic, roomy fit — a heavier, budget-friendly workhorse tee. True to size; heavier and boxier than the Bella+Canvas or Next Level tees on this site.

- Double-needle stitched neckline, bottom hem and sleeves

Is the Gildan 2000 true to size?
Yes — it has a classic, roomy fit that suits most body types.
How does the Gildan 2000 compare to the other tees on this site?
It's the heaviest and most affordable option (6 oz., 100% cotton, boxy classic cut) — a workhorse choice for bulk event tees. The Next Level and Bella+Canvas tees are lighter, softer, and more fitted/tailored at a higher price point.
Will it shrink after washing?
Yes, like most 100% cotton tees — expect roughly 3–5% shrinkage after the first wash. Wash cold, inside out, and tumble dry low to protect the fit and your print.
Does it work with screen print or DTF printing?
Both — this page lets you build your design either way. Screen print is the better value at higher quantities with fewer ink colors (dark shirts get a white underbase priced in automatically); DTF is full color with no per-color setup cost.
What sizes does it come in?
S through 3XL — this style doesn't offer XS. 2XL and 3XL carry a small flat upcharge.
