Description

The Hanes 5186 is the long-sleeve version of the Beefy-T line, built on 6.1 oz preshrunk 100% ring-spun cotton. The Beefy-T is one of the heaviest ring-spun tees on the wholesale market. At 6.1 oz, the fabric is noticeably denser than standard 4.5-5.3 oz tees, which gives screen printers a substrate that absorbs heavy ink deposits without soak-through and gives embroidery hoops a stable base with minimal puckering.

The double-needle cover-seamed neck with a lay-flat collar keeps the neckline flat and clean after washing, which is a common failure point on cheaper long-sleeve tees where the collar curls or bunches. Rib-knit cuffs hold shape at the wrist. Shoulder taping reinforces the seam line. The combination of ring-spun yarn and heavyweight construction makes the 5186 a strong candidate for outdoor work crews, construction programs, and industrial uniform orders where durability through repeated industrial laundering matters.
