About the Gildan Unisex Softstyle® Lightweight T-Shirt
Gildan’s Unisex Softstyle® Lightweight T-Shirt is an easy everyday pick for custom orders, teams, events, and personal wear. It has a modern classic fit, a light feel, and 17 color options, with no minimums whether you need one shirt or thousands.
The fabric feels smooth and comfortable. Solid colors are made from 100% ring-spun cotton, 30 singles, while select heathers use a cotton-polyester blend. Details like the narrow width rib collar, taped neck and shoulders, side seams, and tear away label help give it a clean, wearable finish.
For decorating, the 980 uses high stitch density fabric and an EZ Print Finish on solid colors to support a smoother printing surface. It’s a reliable choice for screen printing and embroidery, with the polished look shoppers want in a premium tee.
