Product Overview
Selecting a uniform that satisfies an entire workforce is no small feat, yet the Gildan Heavy Cotton adult t-shirt consistently meets the challenge. This garment is engineered from a substantial weight cotton jersey that offers a reliable, sturdy feel without sacrificing softness. It is a well-engineered garment designed for those who require a dependable daily staple that can withstand the rigours of a busy working environment. Pre-shrunk to ensure the fit remains consistent wash after wash, it provides a professional appearance that lasts.
Key Features
Taped neck and shoulders: This construction detail reinforces the garment's structure, preventing it from losing its shape after repeated wear and industrial laundering.
Pre-shrunk Jersey knit: By pre-shrinking the fabric, we ensure that the t-shirt you buy today is the same size as the t-shirt you wear in six months.
Seamless twin needle collar: This provides a smoother, more comfortable fit around the neck while increasing the garment's overall durability.
Twin needle sleeve and bottom hems: Double-stitched hems ensure the fabric does not fray or unravel, even when subjected to physical labour.
Quarter-turned body: This manufacturing technique eliminates the centre crease often found in inferior t-shirts, allowing for a cleaner surface for customisation.
Tearaway label: Allows for easy removal of the tag should it cause irritation or if you require re-branding for your own business.
Design & Performance
This t-shirt is manufactured from 100% US cotton, providing a breathable and natural feel against the skin. The fabric is a substantial, medium-weight jersey that feels significantly more robust than standard promotional t-shirts. For those working in more active roles, the taped neck and shoulders provide essential reinforcement, ensuring the garment doesn't sag or stretch out of shape. The use of twin needle stitching throughout is a testament to its build quality, designed to handle the stresses of a trade environment rather than just a weekend outing.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we have been perfecting garment customisation in our Telford facility since 1976. This specific t-shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery.
Embroidery is highly recommended for a superior finish on company logos or staff names, providing a textured and durable result that conveys a sense of established professionalism. For larger, more complex designs or promotional campaigns, our in-house printing team can produce bold, vibrant graphics that stand out. The quarter-turned fabric ensures a flat, consistent surface, making it one of the most reliable garments for achieving a high-quality finish on your branding.
Use Cases
This garment is versatile enough for a variety of sectors. It is an ideal choice for warehouse staff, delivery drivers, and tradespeople who require a durable base layer. Given the extensive size range from S to 5XL, it is also a perfect solution for large-scale corporate events or as a standard uniform for diverse teams where a consistent appearance is required across all staff members.
