Brand: Gildan
Gildan Ultra Cotton T-Shirt (GD002) | Custom Printed & Embroidered Workwear
Product Description
The Gildan Ultra Cotton T-Shirt (GD002) sits a step up from Gildan's standard cotton range — a heavier, more structured tee with a noticeably more premium feel, built for businesses and decorators who want a step-up blank without moving to a specialist brand.
Made from 6.0oz (203gsm) preshrunk 100% cotton (Sport Grey and antique shades are a 90/10 cotton-poly blend), it's quarter-turned with a tubular body, taped neck and shoulders, and a 7/8-inch rib collar. Stocked in 41 colours from S to 5XL, it covers everything from workaday neutrals to punchier seasonal shades.
What Sets the GD002 Apart
A Genuinely Heavier Hand-Feel
At 203gsm, it's noticeably more substantial than a standard-weight tee — a preferred choice when a garment needs to feel like a considered purchase rather than a throwaway blank.
Rebrand-Ready
A tear-away label lets you swap in your own woven or printed neck label without any unpicking.
41 Colours, Real Range
Stocked in 41 shades, spanning everyday neutrals through to bolder statement tones — enough variety to match most brand palettes without compromise.
Consistent Shape Retention
Double-needle stitching at the neckline, hem and sleeves, combined with the taped neck and shoulders, keeps the shirt looking sharp through repeated washing.
Ideal For
- Corporate branded clothing
- Premium promotional merchandise
- Event and team uniforms
- Retail-ready apparel
- Bulk printing and embroidery projects
- Start-ups building a first branded range
