Description
The Gildan G200B is the Youth Ultra Cotton Tee, the youth companion to the workhorse adult G2000 in a heavier 6.0 oz 100% cotton open-end body. The weight is the point: at 6.0 oz it runs heavier and more opaque than a lightweight 5.x oz youth tee, with a 3/4 inch seamless rib collar, double-needle sleeve and bottom hems, and taped neck and shoulders, so it holds up to repeat youth wear and wash while running on the same Ultra Cotton colour card and artwork as the adult G2000. That makes it the youth tee a shop reaches for when a program wants a durable, heavyweight 100% cotton youth body that matches an adult G2000 order, the default for school spirit and youth team stores, camp and daycare shirts, youth event and fundraiser runs, and any high-volume youth order where a heavier opaque hand and a proven adult-pairing body decide it over a lightweight blank.
The G200B prints like the adult G2000: a true 100% cotton youth tee on its solid colours, with the open-end face running slightly coarser than a ring-spun blank. For screen printing, the heavy cotton face holds bold spot colour and the 6.0 oz body is opaque enough to print straight on the light solids and lay a white underbase on the darks, and because the open-end knit is coarser than ring-spun, favour bold artwork over the finest halftone detail. For water-based and discharge, the 100% cotton solids strip the dye and lay the ink into the cotton for a soft, no-hand print, the heavier body taking discharge especially well. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the cotton face at standard heat-press settings across every colour, the most consistent single method on Sport Grey and the safety colours as well as the solids. For DTG, the cotton pre-treats and prints on the solids, a touch less crisp than ring-spun but clean, so favour the solids and the cotton-rich Ash and Sport Grey over the blends. For embroidery, the 6.0 oz body takes a youth-scaled left-chest design with a cut-away backing. For vinyl and HTV, solid heat-transfer vinyl presses clean on the cotton face. The caveat is the heathers and safety colours: Ash is a 99/1 and Sport Grey a 90/10 that both behave close to a solid, but Safety Green and Safety Orange are 50/50 blends, where the polyester migrates and discharge fades to a tonal result, so treat those like a blend with a grey poly-block underbase and a lower cure. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton-dominant body is not a polyester sublimation substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: the solids run a true 100% cotton while Ash and Sport Grey are cotton-rich and Safety Green and Safety Orange are 50/50, so confirm whether your colour is a solid or a blend before a repeat run, because the 50/50 safety colours will not discharge to the same soft result as the solids and need a poly-block underbase. Pair the G200B with the adult Gildan G200 to run the same Ultra Cotton body and artwork across youth and adult sizes, and cross-shop the Gildan G500B Youth Heavy Cotton when a job wants a lighter 5.3 oz youth blank at a lower unit cost.

Fabric Blend by Color Group
Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.
| Color Group | Blend | Print Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Solid colours | 100% cotton | Best discharge and DTG result; print straight on lights, white underbase on darks, no migration to manage |
| Ash and Sport Grey | 99/1 and 90/10 cotton/polyester | Cotton-rich, behaves close to a solid; print near-solid with only slight discharge muting and minimal migration |
| Safety Green and Safety Orange | 50/50 cotton/polyester | Poly-rich high-visibility shades; the polyester migrates and discharge fades to a tonal result, so use a grey poly-block underbase and the lowest effective cure |
