Gildan Heavy Cotton T Shirt 2 Pack Reviews Summary

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "The shirts seem well made and they are comfortable."
• "Like these t-shirts. They don't seem to stretch and get out of shape like other name brands I've had in the past."
• "Love these Gildan shirts, I use them for my business for vinyl adhesive artwork that I iron on."
• "These shirts, Gildan G5000 is the best shirt for the money. I’ve tried other brands but this is the most durable and is 100% cotton which is exactly what i was looking for."
• "The stitching and the material are fine."
• "The fabric is soft yet strong and durable, making it great for multiple uses."
• "These shirts are very comfortable. I would say that they are even better than some better known name brands."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately the shirts starting getting holes at the seams under the arms after only one time wearing them."
• "After only 6 months of infrequent wearing and washing, the collar has become stretched and the underarm seam has opened."
• "One of the sleeves came off in the dryer!"
• "A couple of the shirts have started to separate at the sleeve seems after five or six washes."
• "Orders 80 blue shirts. About half had stitching issues, mostly around the sleeves."
• "A lot of the t-shirts I received had holes under the armpit."
• "Initial fit was okay but noticed some shirts had poor quality stitching."

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "These are great pajama shirts to lounge around the house with, and they're super cheap ($2.5 per shirt or less)."
• "These Heavy Cotton shirts are my personal favorites. If you're heavier set, the heavy cotton fabric doesn't cling to you the way some of the lighter material shirts do."
• "This size 'L' crew neck is correctly sized for the wearer who is not muscular and so it fits my physique perfectly."
• "The fit was perfect. I ordered L and Got a large that fit correctly."
• "I got these shirts for a broad shoulder/chest fit. And it did the job."
• "The shirts fit exactly as 3X should, after washing and drying."
• "The fabric is comfortable, soft to the touch."

Cons:

• "The sleeves are a bit short (and I have short arms) and the fit on my body has no style."
• "Medium not heavy cotton, scratchy finish, sleeves are short like the cheap tshirt it is."
• "Fits as expected, but material is rough."
• "They fit very true to size, even after washing."
• "Bought black. Shorter in the torso than my gray Gildans, and tighter in the arm holes. Disappointing. I'm not tall. These are just too short."
• "The fit is also a bit odd ... they are very tube like in the cut. They don't fit well in the front and they don't fit well in the back."
• "The XL is almost as wide as it is long. Very disappointed."

Material and Washing

Pros:

• "Wish I had found these sooner! Great fit, Little to no shrinkage, thicker and more comfortable than the major brand tees."
• "The color has remained through many washings."
• "So far the material is holding its shape and no noticeable shrinkage."
• "The material is not too thin nor too thick and so far quality is good and I recommend."
• "They maintain they're shape after washing."
• "The fabric is comfortable, soft to the touch."
• "Very pleased with this purchase. Will update review if anything happens to change my mind."

Cons:

• "I've bought several of these shirts and I'm satisfied with them except for the fact they after a couple of washes they shrink noticeably even when washed in cold water, etc."
• "These t-shirts are thinner than what I'm used to from my previous Gildan heavy cotton t-shirts."
• "But then they also shrank in length, and hugely so, such that they no longer stay tucked into a usual pair of jeans -- extremely annoying."
• "After wash length was too short and not ideal for tucking in."
• "They did not work out well due to the t-shirt color being darker than expected (the iron-on transfer sheets left a visible border around the printed design)."
• "This my second time buying a pack of these and so far the first one was mostly all wrong sizes and I double check the order and I ordered the correct size...so I did another order and this time its all wrong color and they shrunk a lot."
• "Shirts fit fine but noticed color fade in the collars after a couple washes. Continued to get worse after every wash and happened in both Navy & Black colors."
