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.
Okay so I bought a sublimation printer before reading all the good stuff you should know. Actually, my husband bought it, therefore that should not be held against me. Anyway...turns out you need to use 100% polyester shirts to get really vibrant prints. WHAT?? How am I going to convince my customers to wear granny's poly?? I am not going to make a penny with this stuff. So the shirts came in. Oh. My. Gosh. I am in absolute LOVE (don't tell my husband). These shirts are softer than a bunny's... uh... foot. They are a wee on the thin side, but heck, everyone is showing skin anyway and they sure aren't that bad. This is seriously my new favorite shirt. I will go broke on these shirts. I keep telling myself to sell these shirts, but my closet is getting fuller and fuller. LOVE these shirts! Wait. No. Don't buy them. If y'all buy them, they may run out and I just can't have that. Great shirt, seriously.
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!
The only thing I wish they would post is a size chart! I have had to figure it out on my own! XS fits a 6 generously S fits a 8 the same way M = 10 L = 12 XL = 14 This is just what we have figured out and go off of, the shirts are very soft, comfortable, don't shrink up! They take HTV great! Some times other brands are harder to press, not this one!
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.
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.
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.
Color: Heather Sport Scarlet Red / Material: 60% Polyester, 40% Cotton
These are pretty generic sweatshirts, meaning you know what you’re getting! Love the price very soft and don’t shrink. I also love all the “heather sport” colors and so do my buyers!
