Technical & Quality Standards

• Wash-Test Durability: The Gildan 18600 blend of 50% cotton and 50% polyester with air-jet spun yarn is engineered to maintain its soft fleece texture, shape integrity, and vibrant print/embroidery quality across routine commercial wash cycles.

• DTG and Embroidery Optimization: The medium-heavy fabric ($8 \text{ oz/yd}^2$ ($271 \text{ g/m}^2$)) provides a stable canvas for precise left-chest embroidery as well as detailed DTG printing across the left chest, left wrist, and right wrist.
