Gildan G474 - Unisex Performance® Long-Sleeve Tech T-Shirt - White

The Gildan G474 is the Performance Tech Long-Sleeve, a 4.7 oz 100% filament polyester long-sleeve built to wick sweat and run cool, and the long-sleeve sibling of the short-sleeve G470 in the same Performance Tech line. The 100% polyester body is the point: it pulls moisture off the skin and dries fast where a cotton long-sleeve holds sweat, carries an antimicrobial finish and a UPF 30+ sun rating (white is not rated), and resists snags, so the shirt holds up to repeat athletic wear and wash. Being 100% polyester also makes it the dye-sublimation substrate the cotton blanks cannot be. That makes it the long-sleeve a shop reaches for when a program wants a wicking athletic body with full-arm coverage or an all-over sublimated print, the default for cool-weather team and league layers, cross-country and trail running shirts, outdoor event and booster programs, and any run where moisture management, sun protection, or a sublimated design decides the order over a cotton long-sleeve.

The G474 is a 100% polyester body, and that fact decides every method. For sublimation, the white and light colours are the substrate: the polyester takes an all-over dye-sublimation print that bonds into the fibre for a no-hand, wash-proof result, the headline method for this long-sleeve, though sublimation only shows on white and the lightest colours and will not read on a dark body, and the long sleeves give you the extra print real estate down the arm. For screen printing, the jersey takes a plastisol print, but 100% polyester migrates badly, so run low-bleed polyester inks over a grey poly-block underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature to stop the dye ghosting into the ink, most critical on the brights, the marbled colours, and the darks. For DTF and heat transfer, a transfer bonds at a controlled low press temperature, use a low-bleed film on the bright and dark colours to keep migration out of the print. For vinyl and HTV, a polyester-friendly low-temperature vinyl presses clean, controlled heat keeping dye bleed down on the darks. For embroidery, the 4.7 oz jersey takes a left-chest design with a cut-away backing and a stabilizer to stop the knit puckering, keep designs moderate. DTG does not suit this body, since DTG is a cotton process and 100% polyester does not pre-treat or hold the ink, giving a washed-out result, route artwork to sublimation or DTF instead. Discharge does not apply, since there is no cotton to strip.

The reorder note specific to this style: the 100% polyester body migrates on the bright, marbled, and dark colours, so confirm your colour before a repeat screen or DTF run and keep the poly-block and low cure dialled in, while the white and light colours stay the safe substrate for sublimation and the cleanest screen result. Pair the G474 with the short-sleeve Gildan G470 Performance Tech Tee to run the same wicking body and artwork across a long-sleeve and short-sleeve cut, and cross-shop the Sport-Tek ST350 PosiCharge Competitor Tee when a program wants a premium poly performance body.
