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.
