Gildan G500L - Women's Heavy Cotton™ T-Shirt - Heather Navy

The Gildan G500L is the women's missy-fit version of the Heavy Cotton blank, a 5.3 oz 100% cotton tee with a sideseamed tapered body, cap sleeves, and a seamless half-inch rib mid-scoop neck. It runs on the same carded open-end Heavy Cotton fabric as the unisex G500, so it carries the same volume economics and reorder reliability in a cut built for women's decoration programs, retail lines, and event runs that need a tapered fit rather than the boxy unisex body.

For screen printing, the G500L takes plastisol and water-based ink well, but the colourway decides your underbase. This style ships a large share of colours as cotton-poly blends rather than 100% cotton: Sport Grey and Antique Cherry Red are 90/10, Ash is 99/1, and Lilac, Safety Green, Safety Orange, Safety Pink, Blackberry, Dark Heather, Graphite Heather, Heather Navy, Heather Sapphire, and Sunset are 50/50 cotton-poly. On those 50/50 colours the polyester content carries dye migration risk, so run a low-bleed or poly-blocking underbase and cure at the minimum effective temperature, while the 100% cotton colours print without that step. A shop running one artwork across a mixed-colour G500L order is printing on two different substrates and has to set the underbase per colour. On the open-end cotton colours, expect slightly more dot gain on fine halftones and small text than a ring-spun blank, so pull back trap and choke on detailed art. The sideseamed missy taper also narrows and curves the print area versus the unisex G500, so size artwork down and check placement on the taper. For DTF, the cotton and blended colours both bond well with transfer adhesives at standard settings. For DTG, the 100% cotton colours pre-treat and print best; the 50/50 colours reduce cotton-ink vibrancy, so favour cotton colourways for DTG runs. For embroidery, the 5.3 oz weight supports left-chest placement; back the cap-sleeve and lighter scoop-neck areas with an appropriate cut-away.

Gildan holds consistent sizing grades and dye lot control across production runs, which keeps the G500L reorder-reliable for women's retail lines and ongoing programs where fit and colour have to match between batches. The reorder note specific to this style: confirm the fabric blend of each colourway before a repeat run, because a 50/50 colour and a 100% cotton colour in the same order need different underbase and ink choices. TheClothingSpace stocks the G500L at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.
