I hate gildan with a passion. Worst type of t shirts I have ever wore.
Agree. I used Gildan for a run of shirts for my shop, and I pretty much had to give the whole batch away.
They were aweful. One wash and they were gone. Myself and most kids knew to throw them away instead of washing them, but there are those young kids that just wear a shirt no matter what, and seeing my logo on them was embarrasing. Never again.
I've run the Allstyle 1301, and yes, like previously stated, it is your run of the mill thick cotton shirt.
I've run tultex before (not sure of the style #) but they were american apparel one offs, and they were hit or miss. one batch would be OK, and the next would be odd. So thats a NO for me.
Looks like I'll try the 1701 Alstyle and let you all know. It'll be a while though, because it's wont friggn stop snowing here and my shop is broke as fuck right now.
