The Gildan G640 Softstyle is the shirt people actually keep. Built from 4.5 oz ring-spun US cotton, it hits a sweet spot most blanks miss — lightweight and breathable, but substantial enough to hold a screen print cleanly without the ink bleeding or cracking after a few washes. The seamless tubular body gives full-front and oversized designs a flat, uninterrupted surface to land on, and the tearaway label means you can apply your own inside-tag branding for a retail-grade finish. The fit is modern without being fashion-fitted — slimmer than the boxy Gildan 5000, but wearable by everyone from interns to executives. If you’re looking for the best custom t-shirt for corporate uniforms, event staff, or brand merch that people will actually reach for, this is it.
Gildan G640 Softstyle Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Gildan G640 fit compared to other Gildan tees?
Product
The G640 runs slimmer and more modern than the Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton. It’s not fashion-fitted — most people wear their standard size — but the tapered silhouette and lighter 4.5 oz fabric give it a cleaner look that works well for both branded apparel and everyday wear.
Will the G640 shrink after washing?
Care
Like all 100% cotton shirts, the G640 can shrink slightly on high heat. Wash cold, tumble dry low or air dry, and your shirt — and print — will hold up long-term. If you run hot in the dryer, sizing up is a safe call.
What custom decoration options are available for the G640?
Decoration
Screen printing is the go-to for tees — it produces the brightest, most durable colors of any print method and is the most cost-effective for bulk orders. Embroidery is also available for left-chest logo placement on select styles. Contact our team for embroidery pricing.
Can I order in bulk with a custom logo?
Bulk Orders
Yes. Safari Sun has no order minimums and tiered pricing that drops significantly at 12, 24, 48, and beyond. Whether you need 6 shirts for a small team or 600 for a company event, pricing adjusts automatically. Upload your logo at safarisun.com to get started.
What’s the best custom shirt printing service for making your own shirt?
Custom Shirts
The best services combine a quality blank, in-house production, and a real proof process — not a rendered mockup, but an actual approval before anything prints. Safari Sun does all three, with 30+ years of screen printing experience and zero outsourcing from our Florida facility.
How long does production and shipping take?
Turnaround
Production is business days or less from proof approval. Shipping is flat-rate $12.98, free on orders over $99. Rush orders are available upon request — contact us as early as possible and we’ll work around your timeline.
