![]() Similarly, if you tell somebody the wholesale price on a t-shirt (or if that person hates the Gildan brand and you tell them it's Gildan), they will perceive lower quality.īranding is probably far more important than characteristics of the garment itself. Price point: If you tell somebody that something is expensive, they will try to find reasons to justify the additional cost. even though Gildan makes cheap shirts and medium-priced shirts. Those people tend to assume that all shirts from Gildan are crap. Aside from that, some people dislike Gildan because the brand is associated with the cheapest screenprinting shirts. The Gildan brand: One person liked the Gildan brand because their work has shirts from Gildan and they recognize the brand. ![]() Both brands, Anvil and BC, have lots of QC issues (garbage threads on shirts, untrimmed threads, puckering, etc.) just like Gildan. I also think that the Anvil triblend is softer than the BC. I don't think it's worth paying for BC unless it's only a 20 cent difference. I think it's great value though because it's about half the price of the Anvil triblend.īella Canvas: One person thought that the gildan softstyle was softer than the BC, and that one 3001 was softer than another 3001. The 50/50 blend: It's halfway between the triblend and the 100% cotton shirt in terms of softness so it doesn't shine in any area. Thiccness: Some people just like thicker material.ġ00% cotton: One person just wants the 100% cotton shirt due to outdated beliefs about cotton being a better material, better for dealing with sweat, etc. There's a reason why 100% cotton shirts use polyester threads for the stitching. Personally, I would prefer the shirts with polyester in it because polyester is the more durable material. Perceived durability: People think that the Gildan will last the longest because of thickness (*Gildan makes thicker shirts) relative to the other shirts and/or because it feels more durable. I personally cannot tell much of a difference between ringspun cotton shirts, although sometimes Supima shirts from Uniqlo don't feel as nice as other cotton shirts. ![]() (Some people may need to go back a few times to get a better handle on the different handfeel.) Despite this, only one person preferred the triblend. Softness: Everybody thought that the triblend was the softest. is there much of a point in buying the more expensive blanks? <- That's my question. Surprisingly, most people prefer the cheapest blank out of these 4. Ok so I've let several friends feel different types of shirts without telling them the price: If your post doesn't post, message a mod. Show us your work!
