Buffing services

Buffing your wardrobe just found its canvas: the Gildan G500 Adult 5.3 oz. T-Shirt. This classic tee is crafted to deliver consistent fit and dependable performance, making it an ideal foundation for custom designs, teams, events, or everyday wear. It’s more than a shirt—it’s a reliable workhorse that keeps its shape and print integrity wash after wash.

Where it shines:

• Versatile fabric options that balance comfort and durability. The standard 5.3 oz, 100% preshrunk cotton version offers a soft, natural feel. For colorways, blends are tailored to preserve color vibrancy and shape across fabrics: Antique colors (Cherry Red, Jade Dome, Irish Green, Sapphire, Orange) are 90% cotton / 10% polyester; Sunset, Safety Pink, Russet, Neon (Green, Blue), Midnight, Lilac, Blackberry, Tweed, Safety Green, S. Orange, Dark Heather, Graphite Heather, and Heather tones (Military Green, Radiant Orchid, Red, Sapphire) are 50% cotton / 50% polyester; Ash Grey is 99% cotton / 1% polyester. And all of this is made with sustainably and fairly grown USA cotton.
• Print-ready performance with seamless rib at the neck, taped shoulder-to-shoulder, and double-needle stitching throughout. These details create a smooth surface for graphics and a durable edge that resists cracking on long print runs.
• Comfort that lasts thanks to a classic, no-topstitch collar and a quarter-turned design to eliminate center crease, ensuring your prints stay aligned and your tee sits flat and comfortable.
• Practical fit and finish—a 7/8" collar and a classic fit that works well for both men and women, casual layering, or as a standout base layer for uniforms and team apparel.
• Smart features for everyday wear include a tear-away label for added comfort and reduced itch, making it ideal for long shifts, events, or school activities where comfort matters all day.
• Safety-first option in Safety Green, which is compliant with ANSI / ISEA 107 high-visibility standards, perfect for workplaces or outdoor events where visibility is important.
