Mid-Level Custom T-Shirt • More Substantial Feel • Great for Work Crews
If you want a custom t-shirt with a little more weight and structure than a lightweight tee, the Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton™ is a great step up. It has a more substantial feel without becoming overly heavy, making it a dependable choice for everyday workwear, company shirts, crews, events, and organizations.
We especially recommend the Gildan 5000 for service companies and businesses that want a shirt that feels durable and professional. Compared with lighter-weight options such as the Gildan 3000, the 5000 has a thicker, more traditional t-shirt feel that many customers prefer for daily wear.

Great for Service Companies – Ideal for landscapers, contractors, automotive shops, maintenance crews, restaurants, and other working teams
