Which cotton shirts do folk prefer to use? I'm guessing most will say Gildan Ultra but I'm putting an order together for a customer and wonder if this is the best option.

depends on the costings, i still like the feel of the hanes T's over most others, but Gildan wins over FOTL - biggest issue is customer ignorance, FOTL seem to hold more favour with some customers

Thanks Laura, customer did initially request FOTL but they've also had Gildan in the past so I swayed them over to those. Hopefully being stocking more clothing again, always used to use Starworld but probably move over to Gildan.

I'm a fan of the Gildan heavy weight tees customers seem to be happy with them. I have one customer who always complains that he thinks FOTL are "crap" and shrink to which i advised he is probably washing and drying them wrong as ive never had this problem myself but personally I do prefer Gildan.

We use a lot of the Heavy Cotton Gildan GD005, loads of colours and decent quality. I also like Uneek as it's good hard wearing but we tend to use that more for work wear.

As Laura said, most people ask about fotl as well known brand. but gildan premium weight is a winer for me every time.
