Bella+Canvas 3001 vs. Gildan 640 Softstyle

These are the two go-to retail-fit ring-spun blanks. The 3001 is lighter (4.2 oz Airlume combed cotton) with a softer hand and a broader 96-color range, cut side-seamed for a contoured look. The Gildan 640 Softstyle is slightly heavier (4.5 oz ring-spun) and usually a bit cheaper, with a semi-fitted cut. Pick the 3001 for softness, color selection, and a premium retail feel; the 640 for a lower price on a similar modern fit.
