Gilden is the only cotton shirt we use in our transfer business. Customers love the fit, and there is minimum to no shrinkage. We like the fact that we have a large selection of colors to choose from. We feel confident that our customers are getting what they pay for. The quality of Gilden builds a sense of pride in our business. Good fit, less shrinkage, lots of colors. The Jiffy website is easy to use, and the service is great.
So, I read all the reviews for this product in hopes to find out if these shirts run small or big and was surprised that no one had commented about that! So, I was the lucky one to buy one in every size pretty much. I even measured myself to find the proper size. The small is SMALL... I am a size 8-10 typically a medium in shirts and the large fits me great. I wouldn't say that this shirt is really a "unisex" considering the large fits me perfectly. These shirts are extremely soft and very easy to wash! I would definitely recommend this shirt... just be aware of the sizing. Nice stretch to the shirt, too. I would say if you are a female size 0 to 4 then the small would fit you. Size 6 to 8 would be a medium and size 10 to 12 large. Hope this helps whoever in their purchase of these awesome shirts!!!!
I order a handful of these tees atleast once a week. They are my go to brand to order for the sublimation process. Great fit, little to no shrinkage. So many colors to choose from as well, although the lighter the colors... the better the sublimation print will show up! ;)
This is my Go-To brand/style! I purchased MANY different brands and styles from Jiffy and used them on myself. I wanted to test how the HTV did with the tee, how it looked after washing and drying. How much could I wear it? Did it shrink? Did it pill up with frequent wash? I have 3 kids, was it going to survive well? And finally, how soft and flexible was it? THIS IS THE DREAM TEE SHIRT YALL. All my customers LOVE IT and frequently request “the exact same brand” 😁😁 The Heather colors are my favorite, they are so buttery soft. Will continue to purchase over and over!
Purchased the Heather Colors to Sublimate and Bleach. They sub & bleach Beautifully! The Dark Heather doesn’t get WHITE like most people prefer when bleaching But the orange it turns was perfect for one of our local schools and Halloween! These are a Great Quality & Fitting tee!

This is my favorite brand of shirt to use for heat press transfers. I always go to this brand first. Not only is the cut good, but the material holds up wash after wash and also takes the transfers really well. I highly recommend this brand
I thought this was 48% polyester, since it’s a ‘heather’, and listed as a 3001cvc. It’s is only 1% polyester, so my project didn’t work. (This is my fault for not reading the fine print, but it’s not that easy to find the info online, so I’m sharing it here.) That being said, it’s actually a very soft shirt, and a really nice color...just make sure you need a mostly cotton shirt.
Alright this will be a long review but extremely helpful here we go. First off I bought the white, Light gray, cardinal, cool blue, black, graphic black, and military green all of these did match the pictures except light gray that one was a lot lighter it looks more like your t shirt is dirty in my opinion. And the graphic black looks more like a really dark gray didn't care for that one either. Ok softness nice and soft love it. fit was perfect. shrinkage they hardly if any shrunk at all. They also hold up well with vinyl on them. Ok now I'm going to compare them to the shirts I previously bought. HANES 5170 compared to Next level 3600- Next level 3600 are by far better they are way softer and shape is way nicer. Gildan G640 compared to Next level 3600- the softness is the same, the thickness Gildan is a bit thicker, the shape they are the same, the colors are fairly the same. The reason I chose next level though is because Gildan was shrinking a lot I'm talking a good 1 1/2 - 2 inches of shrinkage, but my sister likes Gildan better and says hers don't shrink IDK. Lastly Next level 3600 compared to Bella canvas 3001 CVC- I love them both softness the same, shrinkage the same they hardly shrink, the only difference is fit I buy the next level for men they are more loose fitting I buy the bella's for women they are more fitted so they are tighter on men but loose enough on women. I hope this helps someone.
Because I was a new customer, I would have felt better if I could have spoken with someone by phone before placing my first order

Because I was a new customer, I would have felt better if I could have spoken with someone by phone before placing my first order. Initially, I was intimidated placing such a large and varied order online with a company I knew nothing about. I ordered 172 shirts in 12 colors in various youth and adult sizes. Now that I have done it, I am confident in the level of service and quality that I will receive in the future. I found the information on the website to be thorough and complete, especially in regard to return/exchanges, of which I had a few. Everything worked seamlessly...our order arrived in record time, complete and correct.
My customers love the fit of this shirt. However I have them all size up one size. The fit is tight, but very flattering. I uploaded two photos - the Favorite is this and the "boyfriend" is a different variety (unisex) from Bella Canvas. As you can see I wear a medium through my true size is Small
Use for HTV and they work great. Very soft and true to size. Make sure to tell customers that this shirt is NOT fitted. A few of my customers went down a size but majority say it fits true to size and perfectly. Just be sure they know it's not supposed to be a fitted top. I can wear a small or medium but I choose a medium for myself for a longer comfy fit.
Be sure to check these shirts... I have received several that have a messed up seam or are crooked. Jiffy has always been great about replacing them.
The shirts with darker colors for the shirt part are not quite as soft as the Heather gray shirts and aren't quite as loose of a fit (still true to size).
These are my go to Raglan for sublimation. Nice weight and the heather coloring is light enough to make colors bold but yet is not paler thin and see thru like some other brands...no undershirt required! Great selection of colors plus coordinating kids sizes available as well. Definitely mu favorite brand shirts
An awesome fitting shirt! Perfect for someone wanting a fitted or slimfit shirt. The ringspun cotton makes this shirt super soft and light. Holds heat transfers and screenprinting exceptionally well.
As always BC is a great brand. Love the unisex cut. For women I always suggest sizing down for a normal fit or stay at normal size for a loose fit. For men I always suggest staying at normal size for fitting look, or sizing up for a looser fit. They always wash up great with very minimal shrinkage. The colors are always gorgeous. I will say that the shirts don't always display their true colors on screen as they do in person.

I ran a high school printshop doing several thousand shirts a year, and have retired. I still am using shirts from Jiffy and I like the Gildans. I have never had a complaint about the quality or weight of the shirts and have done shirts for school drama programs, Scout troops, girls camps, and school clubs. All are for active youth and they get used! I have kids still using shirts 10 years later, and the shirts still hold color and silk screened designs.
