Gildan 64000 Softstyle Blank T-Shirt for DTF Printing
The Gildan 64000 Softstyle T-Shirt brings a softer hand feel than traditional heavyweight cotton blanks while maintaining the print-ready surface that DTF transfers require. At 4.5 oz, the 100% ring-spun cotton construction delivers a lightweight drape and a smoother texture — qualities that make it a go-to for retail-style custom apparel, fashion-forward branded merchandise, and consumer-facing products where the feel of the garment is as important as the print on it. Available in sizes S through 5XL across 18 colorways.

Retail-Quality Blanks for Consumer-Facing Custom Apparel
The Softstyle fills a gap in the blank lineup between basic cotton and premium CVC blends. Its ring-spun construction produces a noticeably smoother surface than open-end cotton, which makes it a better fit for brand merchandise, fashion brand custom orders, and any program where the customer is going to feel the fabric before they look at the print. The heather colorways add a retail dimension that standard solid blanks don't offer.
For decorators, the 64000 provides a stable print surface that performs comparably to heavier cotton blanks while offering a product that justifies a slightly higher retail price point. It sits naturally in the space between entry-level bulk tees and premium retail brands — which makes it a strong option for custom apparel programs targeting adult and young adult consumers across the New Jersey and New York market.

A softer ring-spun blank at an everyday price.
The 64000 Softstyle is where value meets a softer hand feel. 4.5 oz 100% ring-spun cotton with double pique, a modern classic fit, and a smooth print surface that lifts custom work above a basic promo tee without a premium price.
What colors does the 64000 come in?
DTF Jersey stocks the Gildan 64000 Softstyle in twenty colors, from core solids like Black, White, and Navy to retail-leaning heathers such as Dark Heather, Heather Navy, and Graphite Heather. Fiber content changes with the color family, so check the note below before you press.
Fiber note: Solid Gildan 64000 colors are 100% ring-spun cotton. Sport Grey and Antique colors are 90/10 cotton and polyester, Graphite Heather is 50/50 cotton and polyester, Heather Oatmeal is 99/1 cotton and polyester, and Dark Heather plus the other Heather colors are 65/35 polyester and cotton. Natural is undyed, so the flecks in the fabric are cotton fibers and seeds, not defects. Test press settings on a blend color before a full run.
Special order: Beyond the stocked colors above, the Gildan 64000 is offered in a 76 color range. Fiber content varies by color family: solids are 100% ring-spun cotton, Antique colors and Sport Grey are 90/10 cotton and polyester, Graphite Heather is 50/50, Heather Oatmeal is 99/1, and the Heather colors are 65/35 polyester and cotton. These colors are not held in regular stock at DTF Jersey. Contact us to confirm current availability and lead time before ordering.
It turns a print into a product people pay for.
When someone wears a 64000 it does not feel like a stiff promo shirt. The ring-spun cotton, the modern classic fit, and the double pique fabric move your custom work up a tier from basic blanks, without the cost of a premium retail brand. For Northeast shops, that is a better product at a price bulk orders can still absorb.
Softer cotton, smoother print surface.
At 4.5 oz the 64000 sits between a basic cotton tee and a premium retail blank. The ring-spun cotton is spun to 30 singles and knitted at a double pique, which closes up the surface and gives transfers and screen prints a smoother, more even base than open-end cotton.
The cut is modern classic fit with taped neck and shoulders and a narrow rib collar that holds its shape, plus a tear-away label for easy rebranding and fabric that keeps sizing consistent across reorders.
How the 64000 takes ink, transfers, and heat.
Solid ring-spun colors press the same, but Heather, Sport Grey, and Antique colors carry polyester, so test settings on the exact color before a full run and always confirm settings for your specific transfer. More help in the DTF Jersey FAQs.
DTF printing and care for the 64000.
The double pique ring-spun cotton face of the Gildan 64000 is well suited to DTF (direct-to-film) transfers. A finished DTF transfer is applied with a heat press, and the tightly knitted surface gives the ink an even base to bond to.
Applying DTF transfers to the 64000
General pressing guidance for a clean, durable bond on ring-spun cotton:
- 1Use a flat heat press for even, consistent pressure across the whole design.
- 2Follow the temperature, time, and pressure recommended by your transfer supplier, since settings vary by film and adhesive.
- 3Pre-press the shirt briefly to remove moisture and flatten wrinkles before applying the transfer.
- 4Peel the carrier film as directed for your specific transfer, hot or cold peel.
- 5Solid colors press the same, but test on Heather, Sport Grey, or Antique colors first, since the polyester content can behave differently under heat.
Handheld presses can work for small one-off designs, but a dedicated flat heat press is recommended for bulk and full-size prints where even pressure matters. Always confirm exact settings with your DTF transfer supplier or the DTF Jersey FAQs.
Keeping a printed 64000 looking right
To help a DTF-printed Gildan 64000 hold up over time, general care guidance is:
- ✓Wait at least 24 hours after pressing before the first wash.
- ✓Turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the print surface.
- ✓Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to protect both the print and the soft ring-spun fabric.
- ✓Tumble dry low or hang to dry, and avoid high heat on the printed area.
- ✓Do not iron directly over a transfer.
The Gildan 64000 holds its shape through repeated wear and wash, which keeps sizing consistent across reorders and uniform programs. Follow the care label and your transfer supplier guidance for best results.
