Gildan G644 - Unisex Softstyle® Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Charcoal

The Gildan G644 is the long-sleeve version of the Softstyle 64000 platform, built on the same 4.5 oz 100% ring-spun cotton at 30 singles with the high stitch density that defines the Softstyle line. That stitch density matters: a tighter jersey face gives sharper ink holdout on halftones and fine text than a looser-knit blank, and it carries through to the sleeves. Where the short-sleeve G640 gives you one print zone, the G644 adds two full-length sleeve panels for left-sleeve, right-sleeve, and forearm placements that long-sleeve event, team, and spirit-wear programs call for.

For DTF transfers, the ring-spun cotton face bonds cleanly and the 4.5 oz weight sits stable under the press without shifting. The high stitch density means transfer edges hold crisp detail across the chest and down the sleeves. For screen printing, the Softstyle surface takes plastisol with reliable holdout on both bold spot colour and mid-detail halftone work. Ring-spun cotton at 30 singles gives you a smoother lay than open-end blanks, so fine detail that would spread on a G500 prints sharp here. Water-based and discharge inks work on the solid cotton colourways. For DTG, the 100% cotton solids pre-treat evenly and print at full vibrancy with white underbase on darks. Sport Grey (90/10) needs standard poly-block settings, and Heather Dark Grey (65/35 poly/cotton) is poly-majority, so white ink will mute on that colourway and plastisol needs a low-bleed underbase. For embroidery, the 4.5 oz weight is lighter than a heavyweight blank, so use cut-away backing on left-chest and sleeve placements to prevent puckering. Vinyl/HTV adheres at standard time and temperature on all colourways.

The Softstyle platform holds tight sizing grades run to run, and the G644 shares its grading with the short-sleeve G640. That means print shops running mixed short-sleeve and long-sleeve programs on Softstyle can keep one set of screen sizes and one platen setup for chest placements across both garments. TheClothingSpace stocks the G644 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase with case and unit quantity (sold by the piece or by the dozen, no minimum order), among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.
