I personally like Gildan. Not only for the price but because they last forever and I don't get any customer complaints.

The only trouble with Gildan is tons of loose threads, which tend to make them seem lower quality. The shirts themselves are pretty durable. AAA's are far from the top of my list, I try to steer clear of them any way I can.

i use the ultra cotton by gildan in california, but in the uk i think they still like the flemzy armpit huggers. ultra cotton is more of a work shirt for those who are not going for that heroin sheik look. it's hard to look like a underfed junkie with a construction worker shirt on. just my two hits on the bong. stan

just remember the urban wear style is starting to change. it is becoming more of a fitted style.

I just took back 3 dozen pro-club XL's because they were the same size as AAA L's and the PC fabric feels like polyester blend

I unfortunately use alot of FOTL 50/50's, just because they are what our customers prefer. There's really nothing wrong with them, but I prefer all cotton myself, and something a bit more high end. Just my opinion though...

I've been using Gilden 50/50's and am quite pleased with them. While they may feel "thin", they are very soft, durable, and wash very well after heat pressing. Just my 2-cents....

I haven't tried gildan 50/50s but I am happy with everything else they put out, so I may give them a chance soon. Right now, my favorite tee in the shop is the Gildan Ultra Cotton. I think it is a nice durable shirt, and is pretty soft, too.

The best thing you can do is buy a couple shirts from several different brands and then compare the quality to one another. Everyone has their preference in feel, thickness, and so on.
