Is the Gildan G2000 Ultra Cotton T-Shirt 100% cotton?

Yes, the solid colors are made from 100% US cotton sourced through the US Cotton Trust Protocol. Sport Grey and Antique Heathers are a 90% cotton / 10% polyester blend, while safety colors and heathers are a 50% cotton / 50% polyester blend.

Does the Gildan G2000 shrink after washing?

Because it is made from pre-shrunk heavyweight cotton, some minor shrinkage (approximately 3-5%) is natural upon the first hot wash and dry. For best results and zero distortion, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat.

Is the Gildan G2000 suitable for screen printing and tie dye?

Absolutely. The Gildan G2000 is the industry standard for screen printing, custom embroidery, tie-dye, fabric painting, and vinyl transfers. Its heavyweight 6.0 oz fabric offers a flat, dense surface perfect for all custom craft projects.
