Gildan Premium Cotton

Gildan Premium Cotton is a 5.3 oz (ounce) ring spun cotton of the right weight and thickness in a more modern style. The Gildan Premium Cotton T-shirt is one of Gildan’s most popular t-shirt styles – because it’s made from 100% ring-spun cotton, it’s the most comfortable. What is ring spun cotton, you ask? Well, ring spun cotton is smoother and longer than Open-End. In addition, ring yarn goes through a spinning process that softens and straightens each fiber. Ring-spun cotton T-shirts are smoother and stronger than regular cotton, but they are also more expensive.


The Gildan Premium Cotton collection comes in a variety of sizes for families: men, women, teens, toddlers, and babies. Style-wise, Gildan Premium Cotton is available in short sleeves, pockets, long sleeves, three quarter sleeves, tank tops and polo shirts for both men and women.
