Gildan 2400 vs. Gildan 5400

Both are heavy cotton long-sleeve tees; the difference is weight. The 2400 Ultra Cotton is the heavier 6 oz build for a fuller, warmer feel and maximum print opacity. The Gildan 5400 Heavy Cotton is 5.3 oz — lighter, a touch more breathable, and lower-priced. Pick the 2400 when you want the more substantial long sleeve; the 5400 to trim cost on high-volume runs.
