About the Gildan 5000 Standard Heavy Cotton Crew

The Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton — the 5.3 oz crew every decorator knows, the default for prints, events and uniforms. The 6.0 oz weight feels substantial in hand — like the classic heavy tee you remember from the 90s. Preshrunk processing minimizes post-wash shrinkage to under 5%, so your ordered size stays true after the first wash.

Fabric & Material Specifications

Ring-spun yarn construction gives it a dense, structured drape. Double-stitched hems and a cover-stitched neckline mean it survives daily washing and industrial laundering without coming apart at the seams.

Fabric Weight & Construction

We recommend confirming exact fabric GSM, pre-shrink treatment and wash instructions with your sales rep before bulk production.

Fit, Sizing & Available Colors

A boxier, traditional unisex fit. Tall sizes are available on request for orders over 200 pieces. Twelve colors include heather ash, sand, sport grey and charcoal heather.

Customization & Decoration Options

Thick fabric supports thick ink deposits, so screen-printed designs pop with opacity. Embroidery sits firmly on the dense surface without sinking in. DTG also works well for detailed logos.

Best Uses & Recommended Applications

Workwear and construction crews, bar and restaurant uniforms, motorcycle clubs, biker events, streetwear drops, promotional swag that needs to last.
