Gildan G500VL - Women's Heavy Cotton™ V-Neck T-Shirt - Charcoal

The Gildan G500VL is the Women's Heavy Cotton V-Neck T-Shirt, the missy v-neck in the Heavy Cotton family, a 5.3 oz 100% cotton tee with a 1/2 inch mitered V-neck collar and a contoured women's silhouette. The Heavy Cotton fabric is a carded cotton, the same durable midweight jersey behind the G500 crew, and the v-neck and missy cut are the reason a decorator picks it for a women's retail, event or uniform run that wants a fitted v-neck at a value price. The body runs a missy contoured fit in S-3XL with cap sleeves and side seams. Most colours are 100% cotton solids; Sport Gray runs 90/10 and the heather shades run 50/50, which changes how each takes ink.

The 100% cotton body sets the decoration plan, with two caveats: the v-neck and the heather blends. Screen printing prints clean on the solids: run straight on white and light bodies and over a white underbase on darks; the carded yarn holds bold and mid-detail art well. On the 50/50 Graphite Heather, Heather Navy and Heather Radiant Orchid, lay a white underbase and run a low cure, since the 50% polyester migrates dye into a print. The open mitered V-neck shifts a centre-chest design lower and narrower than it sits on a crew, so drop the placement and keep the top of the art clear of the collar; a left-chest logo or a full-back print is unaffected. DTG prints well on the cotton solids with a pretreat and near-solid on the 90/10 Sport Gray, while the 50/50 heathers read muted. Discharge strips the cotton solids to a soft vintage hand, ideal on the cotton bodies; the 90/10 Sport Gray wants a wash-test, and the 50/50 heathers will not discharge to a clean white. DTF presses consistently across the whole card and is the reliable single method for one artwork. Embroidery sits well on the 5.3 oz jersey with a cut-away backing for a left-chest logo, kept clear of the V. Vinyl and HTV bond cleanly for names and numbers. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton body will not hold the dye; route to a 100% polyester v-neck for dye-sub.

The reorder note specific to this style: confirm whether your colourway is a 100% cotton solid, the 90/10 Sport Gray or a 50/50 heather (Graphite Heather, Heather Navy, Heather Radiant Orchid) before a repeat run, because the blend changes how discharge and DTG read, and remember the V-neck shifts a centre-chest placement down. The G500VL shares the 5.3 oz Heavy Cotton fabric with the women's G500L crew and the unisex G500 crew, so a women's-and-unisex run can print as one matched set, and the lighter Softstyle G64VL covers a premium women's v-neck. The firm midweight body holds its shape and print across reorders at a value price.
