About the Gildan Unisex Heavy Cotton™ Pocket T-Shirt
A dependable pocket tee for decorators, teams, workwear, and everyday wear, Gildan’s Unisex Heavy Cotton™ Pocket T-Shirt 5300 combines a classic fit with a built-in left chest pocket for a shirt that’s easy to wear, easy to print, and easy to stock in any quantity. It’s a practical choice when you want a familiar everyday tee with a little extra utility.
Made with a substantial 5.3 oz./yd² feel and 100% cotton in the core colors, it delivers the kind of everyday comfort many shoppers look for in a go-to shirt. The Heavy Cotton family has been remastered for improved printability, quality, and comfort, with 20 singles cotton and a soft cotton technology update. A classic width rib collar, taped neck and shoulders, and tear away label help it wear comfortably and decorate cleanly, while the pocket adds useful space for casual wear, uniforms, crews, and branded basics.
For decoration, it’s a strong all-around blank for screen printing and embroidery, with a smooth cotton surface and an extra pocket area for branding. Color choices include 13 options, from core neutrals and brights to heathers and Safety Green. Safety Green also meets ANSI / ISEA 107 high-visibility standards.
If you want a similar everyday staple without the pocket, Gildan’s Unisex Heavy Cotton™ T-Shirt and Gildan’s Unisex Heavy Cotton™ Plasma Print T-Shirt are natural comparisons. With no minimums, it works just as well for one shirt as it does for a larger order.
