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.
I ordered these shirts to heat press HTV on them to give as gifts. These shirts are SO soft. They hold up well in the wash and the quality is great. I'll order these again and again!
These have a unisex fit, similar to a traditional men's shirt. For a fitted look, I recommend ordering a size down!
XS (0-4)
Small (4-6)
Medium (6-10)
Large (10-14)
XL (14-18)
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!
I love these shirts for sublimation. They are super soft and take sublimation ink very well. The white is not as see through as other whites ones I have seen. Great shirt if you are looking for a reasonable value for sublimation. They run pretty true to size. I use black ink on the white, demin, green, ash, sage, silver and even the paprika. Works great.
Alright this will be a long review but extremely helpful here we go. First off I bought the white, Light gray, cardinal, cool blue, black, graphic black, and military green all of these did match the pictures except light gray that one was a lot lighter it looks more like your t shirt is dirty in my opinion. And the graphic black looks more like a really dark gray didn't care for that one either. Ok softness nice and soft love it. fit was perfect. shrinkage they hardly if any shrunk at all. They also hold up well with vinyl on them. Ok now I'm going to compare them to the shirts I previously bought. HANES 5170 compared to Next level 3600- Next level 3600 are by far better they are way softer and shape is way nicer. Gildan G640 compared to Next level 3600- the softness is the same, the thickness Gildan is a bit thicker, the shape they are the same, the colors are fairly the same. The reason I chose next level though is because Gildan was shrinking a lot I'm talking a good 1 1/2 - 2 inches of shrinkage, but my sister likes Gildan better and says hers don't shrink IDK. Lastly Next level 3600 compared to Bella canvas 3001 CVC- I love them both softness the same, shrinkage the same they hardly shrink, the only difference is fit I buy the next level for men they are more loose fitting I buy the bella's for women they are more fitted so they are tighter on men but loose enough on women. I hope this helps someone.
I ordered these just for personal use. I just wanted some plain t-shirts in different colors that were inexpensive, but comfortable and flattering. These work perfectly. I wear one of them almost every day around the house, with my pajama pants or yoga pants. They also are great for wearing under hoodies in this cold weather that we are currently having. I would also wear them with a pair of jeans, running errands, etc. They are very comfortable and soft and I'm very happy with this purchase! The sizing on the unisex shirts is not as small as the women's style, so I could wear a medium in this, and it fits perfectly. It is not oversized or loose, but it is not too tight either. I am 5'6" and approximately 130 lb. If you're large chested, which I'm not, then you'd want to probably size up a little bit. I think I could go with a large, if I wanted a little more of a loose fit. And I may try large next time. I would say a man would probably want to order a size up, unless you like the fitted look. I haven't noticed any shrinking, which is awesome! I do put them in the dryer, but on low heat, and they come out well! 👍🏼
Use for HTV and they work great. Very soft and true to size. Make sure to tell customers that this shirt is NOT fitted. A few of my customers went down a size but majority say it fits true to size and perfectly. Just be sure they know it's not supposed to be a fitted top. I can wear a small or medium but I choose a medium for myself for a longer comfy fit.
Be sure to check these shirts... I have received several that have a messed up seam or are crooked. Jiffy has always been great about replacing them.
The shirts with darker colors for the shirt part are not quite as soft as the Heather gray shirts and aren't quite as loose of a fit (still true to size).
These are my go to Raglan for sublimation. Nice weight and the heather coloring is light enough to make colors bold but yet is not paler thin and see thru like some other brands...no undershirt required! Great selection of colors plus coordinating kids sizes available as well. Definitely mu favorite brand shirts

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.
These are the best shirts! I bleach, sub and vinyl these shirts and they are up for any challenge I can dream up for them. All of my customers love the softness and durability of these shirts. This is my go to shirt for any project!
These are the best T-Shirts ever. I order them for customers who want them embroidered. I have never had a complaint -- in fact, my customers will always tell me to order the ones just like they got before. They are a great weight and are extremely comfortable. I always order from Jiffy because they have good prices, great service, and reasonable shipping costs.
Great shirts that screen print easily. Shirts hold up after multiple washings without losing color or shape. In the south the 5.3 oz is cool and comfortable for the heat and humidity we see. Gilden is always my first choice for t shirts!
These are my go to shirts. Everyone loves them. They are vintage soft, take htv well, and hold their shape after washing. I do think the heathered colors are slightly smaller than the regular colors and the sleeves seem a tad shorter. Doesn’t bother me as a woman, but it does bother some men.
Great fit for both guys and gals. I typically refer to these as a "boyfriend" fit for ladies who are looking for a more relaxed fit and a longer length. I am 5'0" and I love the fit of these tees. I don't find them to be too long after a single wash & dry. Not too snug for men. Colors are great after several washes and screen prints/heat transfers well.
