Gildan 3000 vs. Gildan 5000

Both are heavyweight Gildan cotton tees, but the yarn differs. The 3000 (G300) is 5.5 oz ring-spun cotton — smoother and softer to the hand, a step up in feel for retail-leaning lines. The 5000 (G500) is 5.3 oz open-end cotton with a more textured surface and a lower price, built for high-volume value jobs. Choose the 3000 for softness, the 5000 for the lowest cost per print.
