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.

Why MyWorkwear

With nearly five decades of experience, MyWorkwear is a name built on technical expertise and reliable service. Based in Telford, our dedicated team manages the entire customisation process in-house, ensuring that every t-shirt leaving our facility meets our rigorous quality standards. When you choose us, you are benefiting from British craftsmanship and a legacy of workwear expertise that dates back to 1976.

Practical Advice

Given the substantial weight of this t-shirt, it serves as an excellent standalone piece in warmer months or as a dependable base layer under sweatshirts and jackets when the weather turns. The fit is generous, accommodating a wide range of body types from S through to 5XL, making it a safe choice for outfitting a large and varied team. We recommend checking our size guide to ensure the best fit for your staff.

Caring for Your Gildan Heavy Cotton T-shirt

To maintain the professional appearance and technical integrity of this garment, we recommend the following:

  • A warm machine wash. This is sufficient to remove workplace grime without damaging the cotton fibres.

  • When washing, always turn the garment inside out. This simple step protects the exterior finish and any custom embroidery or print from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum, extending the life of your branding.

  • Don't use bleach or harsh chemicals. These will weaken the cotton and cause colours to fade prematurely, leading to a tired and unprofessional look.

  • Tumble drying should be kept to a medium heat setting. Excessive heat in the dryer can cause the cotton to become brittle and may lead to unnecessary shrinkage, compromising the fit of the t-shirt.

  • If the garment has been decorated with print or embroidery, do not iron directly over the design. High heat from an iron can melt print transfers or distort embroidery threads; instead, iron on the reverse to keep the decoration crisp.

  • Finally, do not dry clean this t-shirt. The chemicals used in the dry cleaning process are unnecessary for this fabric type and can degrade the quality of the cotton and the customisation over time.

Follow our few simple tips and you and your Gildan Heavy Cotton t-shirt will continue to look professional and smart wash after wash.
