Material Gildian Long Sleeves

Gildan 2400 Ultra Cotton — our long sleeve

The fabric
A heavyweight 6.0 oz/yd² (203 g/m²) long sleeve in 100% cotton. No polyester, no blends. This is the sturdy one — thicker yarn, denser knit, built to take a winter rather than a warm afternoon. It's not the featherweight feel of our everyday tee, and it isn't trying to be. It's the shirt you pull on when it's cold and you're going outside anyway.

Preshrunk jersey, so it comes back from the wash the size it went in.

How it's built
The body is knitted as one continuous tube, so there's nothing running down your ribs. Quarter-turned during cutting, which stops a permanent crease forming down the front. Taped neck and shoulders to hold the shape, a 7/8" (2.2 cm) ribbed collar, ribbed cuffs that grip the wrist instead of sliding down your hand, and a double-needle bottom hem. Classic straight fit — no tapering, no fuss.

The ribbed cuffs are cotton too. Nothing stretchy hiding in them.

The tag comes out
It's a tear-away label — and a recycled one. Grab it, pull once, it's gone. We'd rather tell you now than have you find out halfway through a Tuesday.

Where it comes from
The cotton is grown and spun into yarn in the maker's own mills, then knit, dyed and sewn in factories they own and run themselves — WRAP-certified, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, low-impact dyes. Owning the whole chain is boring. It's also the only reason anyone can answer this question honestly.

Then it comes to us, and we print it after you order it. Never before. No warehouse, no unsold stock, no rush.

This is the warm one. If you want light and everyday, that's our short sleeve — and if you want heavy and broken-in, that's our premium tee.
