Gildan G200 - Unisex Ultra Cotton® T-Shirt - Chestnut

The Gildan G200 is the Ultra Cotton tee, a 6.0 oz 100% cotton heavyweight blank that sits a full step above the 5.3 oz G500 Heavy Cotton on weight and hand. It is the blank a shop reaches for when a job needs more substance and durability than the value G500 but still on a budget open-end cotton, which makes it the default for workwear and uniform programs, heavy-use event and crew tees, screen-print volume runs that want a fuller body, and any order where the extra ounce of cotton is the selling point over a lighter tee.

The thing to plan for on the G200 is the same blend trap that runs across the Gildan heavyweight line: solid colours are 100% cotton, Sport Grey and Antique colours are 90/10 cotton/polyester, and Heather and Safety colours jump to 50/50 cotton/polyester, so one design can land on three different substrates depending on the colour. For screen printing, the open-end yarn carries bold spot colour and heavy ink deposits well and the heavier 6.0 oz knit sits flat on the platen, but on the 50/50 Heather and Safety colours lay a grey poly-blocking underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature to stop the polyester dye from migrating into the ink. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the cotton at standard heat-press settings; on the 50/50 colours use a low-bleed film and a controlled press temperature. For DTG, the 100% cotton solids pre-treat and print with good cotton-ink vibrancy, so favour the solids over the 50/50 colours for direct-to-garment. For water-based and discharge work the 100% cotton solids discharge cleanly while the polyester in the Heather and Safety colours will not discharge. For embroidery, the heavyweight 6.0 oz body is a stable base for a left-chest design with a cut-away backing. The open-end yarn also runs a little more dot gain than a ring-spun Softstyle tee, so it favours bold artwork over the finest halftone detail.

The reorder note specific to this style: confirm whether your colour is a 100% cotton solid, a 90/10 Sport Grey/Antique, or a 50/50 Heather/Safety before a repeat run, because the substrate changes your underbase and cure, and pair the G200 with the lighter Gildan G500 when a program wants a value tee on the same artwork at a lower weight.
