by Josephine Rosenbaum Published 4 years ago Updated 3 years ago

Are Gildan Shirts Preshrunk? Yes, the company has said that their shirt is preshrunk, and they are shrinking proof. But like with any cotton shirt, if you don’t take care of them, they will still shrink.

Gildan sticks with its preshrunk cotton so that when mixed with polyester, it creates a tee almost guaranteed not to shrink. And with a 5.6 oz. weight, a heavy cotton and hearty polyester create the durability rivaling Ultra Cotton and Heavy Cotton, but with a touch more softness.Mar 24, 2019
