Hello All
I walked into a local competitor's store and saw a Gildan color swatch display that had small Gildan t-shirts on a cardboard hanger. Does any one know where I can get a display like that? I even called Gildan and they have never seen them??
Has any one seen this display?
Gildan has never seen one?! That's pretty strange, since I have one from them.
Assuming we're talking about the same thing, it's a swatch book. Just a standard colour swatch book that you'd order from them to show you the fabric samples. Letter size or thereabouts with holes to put in a binder.
They used to be square swatches but they moved over to t-shirts some time in the last year or two.
I'm guessing either you were just having a miscommunication issue between the two of you, or the sales person you were talking to is an idiot. Or I suppose they might not supply them directly so their sales people aren't aware of them. But that would make no sense.
Anyway... yes... you want a swatch booklet... in theory any distributor should be able to supply you with one.

I have the booklet that you mentioned.
The one I saw is some what like a box about 3 feet wide with a carboard tube. Through the cardboard tube you have coardboard hangers that have small t-shirts. All of the Gildan colors are diplayed. The shirts are roughly about the size of a person's hand. My daughter even wanted some of the shirts for her stuffed animals.
It really looked more official. I even called Gildan and they sent me the one that you mentioned. It looks more like something that you would have at a store.
I have seen this same thing at Broder Brothers. Or maybe it was the Anvil colors ... can't remember. But they were tiny little shirts on tiny little hangers ... so I know you're not making this up.
The display unit you are referring to is their mini t display. Their distributors now sell them for 90$ each. Gildan keeps record of your name, address and each year will send you updates of color additions and deletions and new mini t-shirts in the colors they add.
They also have other promotional items you can buy like a case of 72 assorted mini t-shirts for $65, a cse of actual full szied T-shirts in eveery color they offer for $85 and other things.
If the distributors are unable to help contact Gildan at and they can sort you out.

I have the GILDAN USA Color Guide 2008 which is really cute because the swatches are shaped like a t-shirt and you can see and feel the fabric. You can get this free from t-shirt vendors (see our list of preferred vendors on the left side of the site).
