You can reasonably expect your customers to get the same results you are getting with your samples.

Manufacturers do change up where their shirts are made from time to time. If you have a previous shirt, you can compare it to the newer one you have. Check the country of origin. Also check to see if the RN# is different, but I doubt that.

I have had the same experience myself. I ordered some Gildan 5000 mid 2009, shirts were fine and were perfect weight as far as I was concerned, (not too thick, not to thin) Ordered the same shirt earlier this year, two different batches from two different companies, both of the batches were considerably thinner and did shrink. In fact my first impression is that the fabric seemed 'cheap'. something has changed and I am not sure what.

Gonna be forced to go with the 2000 from now on. Cant have a product that shinks and that comes off as cheap.
