Description
The Gildan 64000 Softstyle is a 4.5 oz./yd² T-shirt with a modern classic fit and a ring-spun cotton base fabric. Compare it with the heavier Gildan 5000 when choosing the weight and fit for an apparel order. Fiber content changes across heather and antique colors, so the style name alone is not enough to specify the fabric for a print run.

Buying questions
How is it different from the Gildan 5000?
The 64000 has a lighter 4.5 oz./yd² ring-spun cotton base fabric and modern classic fit. The 5000 is 5.3 oz./yd² with a classic fit. Check each size chart before substituting one style for the other.
Can I use the same print process for every color?
Confirm the fiber blend for the actual shade. Polyester-containing heathers may need a different ink or cure approach from cotton solids; have your decorator test the intended garment color before production.

Choosing Military Green or Mint Green Softstyle tees
- Two distinct greens: Military Green and Mint Green are separate 64000 shades. Compare each selection’s photo; do not substitute one simply because both belong to the green family.
- Fabric and fit: The 64000 has a 4.5 oz./yd² ring-spun cotton base and a modern classic fit. Review the color-specific fiber exceptions in Features when comparing it with heather or antique shades.
- Before a print run: Compare the size chart with a tee you already like and check every required size in the selected shade. Have your printer approve a sample of the actual color and fabric before a larger order.
