Product Overview
The Gildan Softstyle women's tank top is a well-engineered garment designed for those who require a combination of aesthetic appeal and everyday functionality. Crafted from ringspun cotton, this tank top offers a superior level of softness compared to standard cotton vests, as the yarns are tightly twisted for a smoother and stronger finish. Its fitted silhouette and side-seamed construction ensure a professional appearance that follows the natural contours of the body without sacrificing comfort.
Key Features
Ringspun Cotton Fabric: The use of ringspun yarns provides a softer feel against the skin and increased garment strength, making it ideal for frequent wear.
High Stitch Density: This feature creates a smoother surface, which is particularly beneficial for achieving high-quality results during the customisation process.
Fitted Silhouette with Side Seams: Unlike tubular garments, side seams provide a more structured and flattering fit that retains its shape over time.
Rib Knit Trim: Applied to the neckline and armholes, this trim ensures the garment maintains its structure and resists stretching at the openings.
Tearaway Label: Allows for the easy removal of the manufacturer's tag, reducing skin irritation and providing an opportunity for secondary branding.
Design & Performance
The performance of this tank top lies in its lightweight construction and the specific way the cotton has been processed. By using ringspun cotton, Gildan has produced a garment that is both finer and more resilient than basic open-end cotton alternatives. The twin-needle bottom hem provides reinforced stitching at the base, ensuring the garment does not fray or unravel under the stresses of a busy working environment. This is a lightweight fabric that remains breathable, making it a reliable choice for active roles or warmer climates.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This tank top is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. The high stitch density makes it a particularly strong candidate for screen printing or heat transfer, as the smooth surface allows for sharp details and vibrant colour reproduction. For those seeking a more traditional and durable finish, embroidery is recommended for small logos or employee names on the chest, providing a professional finish that lasts.

Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for retail environments, promotional events, or as part of a summer uniform for staff in the health and fitness industry.

Practical Advice
As this is a fitted garment, we recommend reviewing the sizing guide carefully. It ranges from a size 6/8 through to a size 16. If you prefer a more relaxed fit rather than a sleek, contoured look, you may wish to consider ordering one size larger than your usual measurement.
Caring for your product
To ensure your garment continues to perform and look its best, we recommend a machine wash on a warm setting. Washing the garment inside out protects the outer surface and any custom branding from friction during the cycle, preventing premature wear.
When cleaning, use only non-chlorine bleach. Standard bleach can compromise the integrity of the cotton fibres and cause significant fading to the fabric's colour. For drying, a medium tumble dry setting is appropriate to maintain the garment's shape.
If your tank top has been decorated with print or embroidery, do not iron directly over the design. Excessive heat can damage the customisation and affect the adhesive used in certain printing methods. Additionally, this garment is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved can degrade both the fabric and your branding.
