## When to choose this garment

### Consider it for

Manufacturer Gildan; style 64000 (also sold as G640), adult/unisex Softstyle collection, currently active. [C0001, C0002]

Blank sourced from Bangladesh, Nicaragua, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Haiti or Guatemala. [C0004]

Maker describes a 'modern classic fit, seamless body'; a straight, non-fitted silhouette. [C0300]

### Keep in mind

Selection guidance from the cited research, not a comparative ranking. Customer observations are not durability tests. Printing, fulfillment, prices and shipping must be evaluated separately.

The Gildan Softstyle 64000 is a 4.5 oz ring-spun cotton crew-neck tee with a seamless (side-seam-free) body, taped shoulders and a tear-away label; solid colours are 100% cotton while heathers and Sport Grey are polyester blends. [C0101, C0100, C0502, C0501, C0505]

## Overview

Manufacturer Gildan; style 64000 (also sold as G640), adult/unisex Softstyle collection, currently active. [C0001, C0002]

Blank sourced from Bangladesh, Nicaragua, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Haiti or Guatemala. [C0004]

## Tradeoffs

Lighter 4.5 oz hand and a straight fit; some reviewers found finer DTG detail and softness better on Bella+Canvas 3001. [C0101, C1100]

Poly-blend heathers are not cotton-faced, which can affect DTG colour rendering (not provider-tested here). [C0600]

## Decoration

Default DTG; Printful also offers DTF and embroidery; some Printify providers add metallic and glitter print. [C0600, C0601, C0602, C0603]

Print-file front/back areas are size-dependent (e.g. Printify Choice front up to 3852x4398 px on L-5XL). [CPL99]

Neck labels are produced via DTF on Printify; Prodigi recommends 300 dpi PNG/PDF artwork. [C0601, C1501]

## Alternatives

A reviewer directly compared it to Bella+Canvas 3001 (rated better-fitting and softer) and to Gildan 5000 (preferred fabric). [C1100]

## When it fits

Fits price-sensitive, high-volume merch where low unit cost and broad colours/sizes matter most. [C08sxl, C0201]

Supports private-label rebranding via a tear-away label and neck-label printing. [C0505, C1000]

## Fit and sizing

Maker describes a 'modern classic fit, seamless body'; a straight, non-fitted silhouette. [C0300]

Gildan finished-garment sizes span XS-5XL; Printful carries S-3XL while some Printify providers carry XS-5XL. [C0300, C0301, C0302]

Finished chest width runs 18 in (S) to 28 in (3XL) flat; body length 28-33 in (S-3XL). [C0400]

First-hand reviews split on fit: some call it roomy or long, others tight across the chest or neck. [C1100]

## Standard pricing

As of 2026-09-16, Printful catalog base price is 9.63 USD (S-XL), 11.63 USD (2XL) and 13.63 USD (3XL), one DTG front print included, excluding shipping and tax. [C08sxl, C082xl, C083xl]

Printful extras: back print +5.95, each sleeve +2.49, inside label +0.99, outside label +2.49, embroidery chest +2.95 USD. [C0810]

Printify per-provider prices are not in the catalog API and need a live quote. [C08sxl]

## Customer evidence

Printful's page shows 4.5/5 across 3,673 ratings; 30 recent reviews were read here. [C1101]

Positives cluster on print quality, softness and value; negatives on off-centre prints, fit/size variance and occasional sagging. [C1100]

## Fabric and colors

4.5 oz/yd² (153 g/m²) ring-spun cotton, ~30-singles yarn. [C0101, C0102]

Solid colours are 100% cotton; Sport Grey is 90/10, Graphite Heather 50/50, and the heathers 65% polyester/35% cotton. [C0100]

34 colours on Printful, mapped to Gildan names with Pantone references; Gildan's full palette is larger (~90). [C0200, C0201, C1503]

Maker notes White may look off-white, and Natural is undyed with visible fibre flecks. [C0202]

## Technical handoff

Finished-garment and body measurement datasets, per-provider print-file geometry and Printful placement pricing are recorded for handoff. [C0400, CPL99, C0810]

## Sample before launch

Sample wash/shrink durability, cross-provider fit consistency, DTG on heathers, and print centering before committing. [C0400, C1100]
