Everyone has their favorite. I prefer Gildan 6.1oz personally. It's all I use. Same as Hanes beefy-t but cheaper for me to buy from my distributor.

Try a few different brands and you'll find one that you like. For some people, the best might be gildan, others might prefer a Hanes.

Here's a thread where people shared their favorites. It will give you a few to try so you can decide which is best for you: The Tee shirt "a " List

I have printed with Jerzee's, Anvil, American Apparel, Hanes, and Fruit of the loom. I personally LOVE the screenprinting results on Fruit of the loom : Heavy's (Tee's only) For other apparel, I do not go with FOTL

I personally go with whatever 1st Quality Tees are cheaper at the time my distributor always has different prices and since i always use first quality tees customers are always satisfied. Unless they request a specific brand then I get specific.


A penny saved is a penny earned.....Customers half the time dont really care they usaully expect you to make the right decision.

I agree. When it comes to basic tees, I don't see a huge difference in quality with the major players. (Gildan, Hanes, Anvil, Jerzees...)

I sort of default to Gildans for most customers just wanting basic tees. But for higher end fashion tees, I usually let the customer decide. Normally, customers requesting a high end tee know exactly what they want.
