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

Description
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. TheClothingSpace stocks the G500VL 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.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Screen Print | ✓ | prints clean on the 100% cotton solids: straight on lights 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 to block the poly. The open V-neck shifts a centre-chest design lower and narrower, so drop the placement clear of the collar |
| DTG | ✓ | prints well on the cotton solids with a pretreat and near-solid on the 90/10 Sport Gray; the 50/50 heathers read muted, so route the brightest art to the solids |
| Discharge | ✓ | strips the 100% 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, since half the fibre is polyester |
| DTF | ✓ | presses consistently across the whole card including the heathers; the reliable single method for one artwork, and easy to drop the placement for the V-neck |
| Embroidery | ✓ | sits well on the firm 5.3 oz jersey with a cut-away backing for a left-chest logo, kept clear of the V-neck; the midweight body gives a stable ground |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | bonds cleanly for names and numbers on a women's team or event run; the cotton face presses without trouble |
| Sublimation | ✗ | the cotton body will not hold the dye, so this is not a dye-sublimation substrate; route to a 100% polyester v-neck for dye-sub |

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 (White, Lime, Sapphire, Heliconia, Red, Navy, Azalea, Purple, Coral Silk, Black, Charcoal, Royal, Irish Green) | 100% cotton | The print target: screen straight on lights with a white underbase on darks, run DTG bright with a pretreat, and discharge to a soft vintage hand. Drop the chest placement clear of the V-neck |
| Sport Gray | 90/10 cotton/polyester | Near-solid behaviour: screen, DTG and DTF print clean, but wash-test discharge since the 10% poly will not strip fully |
| Heather colours (Graphite Heather, Heather Navy, Heather Radiant Orchid) | 50/50 cotton/polyester | Lay a white underbase and run a low cure to block the 50% poly; DTG reads muted and discharge will not strip to a clean white, so favour DTF or underbased plastisol |
