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.
Love the tank, but definitely size up for a normal fit and size up 2 sizes if you prefer a flowy fit (I'm 5'5 and 145lbs. I usually wear a unisex medium and some women's larges.) I ordered a medium, large, and XL. There's just no way I'd wear the medium in public. The large fit much better, and the XL was a comfortable flowy fit.
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! ;)
I have been ordering a Bella+canvas product for a while but they always ran so small. I decided to order just one of these to hold side by side with my b+c shirt and the difference is crazy. These shirts are a bit softer and they run true to size. Finally a great crew neck that I don't have to advise my customers to size up if they want it to fit. Takes very well to htv as well. A+ for sure!
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

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 love these shirts for sublimation. They are super soft and take sublimation ink very well. The white is not as see through as other whites ones I have seen. Great shirt if you are looking for a reasonable value for sublimation. They run pretty true to size. I use black ink on the white, demin, green, ash, sage, silver and even the paprika. Works great.
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.
I ordered these shirts to apply simple HTV and it worked perfectly – the HTV applied nicely to the material and was very easy to do. The color was exactly as I expected. Honestly, the material is much nicer than I expected - and the other reviews are right, it's very soft. The reviews said to order a size up because they run small so I did and they fit wonderfully. That’ the reason I noted “Tight” on the fit. I haven’t worn or washed them yet, if anything notable happens I’ll update my review.
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

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.
I bought the tanks and I usually wear a small but I ordered a size up just incase and I wanted it a little bigger and not right, when I received it I feel in love. They're so soft and comfortable and breathable and the colors are gorgeous. Great for HTV with a heat press.
