Our pro con on our shirts is something like this

Pro:
Relatively cheap
Durable
Doesn't wash out

Cons:
Thick
Hot
Very Baggy (this is good and bad at the same time)


If you could post up the brand/model and a pro-con list, that would be great!

Thanks!

So I'll mention that we use Gildan too - and if the heavy cotton didn't work, try a different item! We have used UltraCotton G200 and DryBlend G600 in the past, and prefer UltraCotton.

I'll also ( I do each season) put a nudge out for the print quality, item choice, and service from Rush Order Tees. We've used them since 2007, and everything we've gotten from them has been durable & lasts beyond a season. Not a shill, just a really satisfied customer for 10+ years.

Other products of note that we've loved: Gildan hoodies in both pullover and zip, Harriton 500 Twill Work Shirts (this serves as our 'mentor shirt') as well as Gildan G380 polos - which we'll be changing out in favor of a different option this year, but have served us well in the past, and last well with little washout between seasons!
