Gildan 5000, 2000 and 8000 tees with your company logo
Plenty of crews come to us asking for Gildan by number. We print it. We will also tell you that we consider the Port & Company PC61 quite a bit better than Gildan at the same money, and we stock it first. If you want Gildan, here is what each number is. Battle Born Clothing prints and embroiders all three; blanks quoted per job.
