Made from 100% cotton, it offers a soft, breathable feel that keeps children comfortable throughout school days, sports, play, and weekend outings. This trusted classic is widely used by parents, schools, clubs, and print shops thanks to its durability and outstanding print compatibility.

Engineered for a classic fit, the GD05B provides a relaxed, easy-to-wear silhouette suitable for both boys and girls. The ribbed collar ensures excellent stretch and shape retention, while the taped neck and shoulders reinforce key areas for added comfort and long-lasting durability. These construction details help maintain the shirt’s structure even after repeated washing and active play.

The tubular body design provides a clean look with fewer seams, allowing for improved shape retention and a smooth surface ideal for printing. With twin needle stitching at the sleeves and hem, the T-shirt offers extra strength where it matters most, helping it stand up to everyday use. A tear-out label ensures irritation-free comfort, making it easy for kids to wear all day long.

This style features a slightly heavier fabric weight—175 gsm for white and 180 gsm for colours—giving the shirt a premium, substantial feel without compromising comfort. The weight also makes it an excellent choice for screen printing, DTG, heat transfer, vinyl, and embroidery.

Available in a full youth size range from 3=XS to 12=XL, the Gildan Kids Heavy Cotton™ T-Shirt is suitable for students, teams, events, and custom apparel projects of all kinds.
