Description
The Gildan G380 is an Ultra Cotton pique polo constructed from 6.3 oz 100% ring-spun cotton pique knit. The ring-spun cotton pique face produces a textured, breathable surface that holds embroidered logos and left-chest crests cleanly. At 6.3 oz, this is a midweight polo that balances structure with comfort for staff uniforms, corporate branding, and promotional programmes.
The welt-knit collar and cuffs hold their shape through repeated laundering without curling or losing form. A three-button placket with woodtone buttons gives a clean, classic front. Double-needle stitching throughout adds durability at stress points. The quarter-turned body eliminates the centre crease that can interfere with front print placement. Preshrunk pique knit ensures consistent sizing across repeat orders.
For decoration, embroidery is the primary method for pique polos. The structured 6.3 oz pique face holds high stitch counts without puckering, and left-chest placement is the standard position. DTF transfers bond firmly to the cotton pique across all colours. Screen printing works on the flat front panel, though the pique texture breaks fine halftone detail so bold designs print cleanest. DTG is viable for bold art but the pique texture affects fine detail. Note: Sport Gray is 90/10 cotton/poly, and Dark Heather is 50/50, each requiring poly-block underbase for screen work.
