We often get asked what brand is best when it comes to a t-shirt.\u00a0\u00a0 Customers say there are so many and frankly all of the shirts look the same.\u00a0Our customers are always looking for the best deal and the truth is there isn\u2019t that much of a difference.\u00a0 For instance on the basic white tee, there are several brands that compete in what I call the value market.\u00a0 There is Gildan<\/a>, Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, Jerzees, Delta, Anvil, and even Alstyle.\u00a0 Because the white t-shirt\u00a0is a commodity, the factory that produces the most is typically is able to offer the best price.\u00a0 So therefore, Gildan and Fruit of the Loom usually have the edge.\u00a0 But volume alone doesn\u2019t get it done.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know about you, but I would pay a couple extra pennies if one product was better than the others.\u00a0 And that is the case.<\/p>\n

How do you tell the difference between t-shirt brands?<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

I feel that the Gildan G500 is the best WHITE tee on the market.\u00a0 The shirt holds up better and frankly the white is just brighter.\u00a0 When you put it next to the Fruit 3931\u00a0 it looks so much whiter.\u00a0 So I would be willing to pay a few more pennies and that is why we stock the Gildan over the Fruit.\u00a0 However, when it comes to colors its a different story.\u00a0 I do think the Gildan is better, but not by much and with darker colors you really can\u2019t see the difference.\u00a0 In regards to the white, a lot of people must agree with me because Gildan is the largest manfufacturer of t-shirts in the world so they are doing something right.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, my analysis is not taking into account the premium brands like American Apparel.\u00a0 Their price point is so much higher it’s kind of like comparing apples\u00a0to oranges.\u00a0 Bottom line, all of the shirts are good.\u00a0 If you are a screenprinter I would recommend trying all of the different bulk white t-shirts <\/a>and seeing which one works best for you.\u00a0 And always remember,\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s no business, like the T-Shirt business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We often get asked what brand is best when it comes to a t-shirt.\u00a0\u00a0 Customers say there are so many and frankly all of the shirts look the same.\u00a0Our customers are always looking for the best deal and the truth is there isn\u2019t that much of a difference.\u00a0 For instance on the basic white tee, […]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=398"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":777,"href":"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398\/revisions\/777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
