The Gildan 64000 is the practical pick when you need a familiar short-sleeve crew-neck tee, a broad color range, and a price that leaves room in the budget for the actual design. It is Toolbox POD's classic tee: modern classic fit, sizes S through 3XL, and 16 colors. We print every one with DTF, so a detailed full-front design is fair game as long as the file is clean.

Short answer

Pick the Gildan 64000 when you want the lowest starting price, a straightforward everyday fit, and enough colors for a group, event, or online listing. At Toolbox POD, one printed side starts at $8.59 for sizes S through XL. Check the flat garment measurements before ordering, especially if your design is headed to more than one body type.

How the Gildan 64000 fits

"Modern classic" is a useful middle ground, but it is still a label. The measurements are the part that decides whether the shirt works for your group. Lay out a tee you already like, measure it flat, then compare it to the chart. A chest width is measured across the shirt, not around a person. For a group order, collect actual size preferences before the art is finalized. That keeps a late size change from becoming a placement problem too. It also makes the final order easier to audit before the shirts go to print.

✓Start with a tee the wearer already likes and measure its chest width flat.
✓Use the larger measurement when someone is between sizes or wants more room.
✓Keep the front print inside the safe chest area instead of letting it run into the side seams.
✓Ask for the actual sizes before building a group order around a guess.

A sizing note

Those are garment measurements in inches, not body measurements. Allow about an inch either way. The point is not to make a size chart sound scientific. It is to avoid a shirt that feels wrong the moment it comes out of the mailer.

Colors, artwork, and what DTF changes

The Gildan 64000 gives you 16 choices, including Black, Cardinal Red, Charcoal, Dark Heather, Gold, Heather Military Green, Heather Indigo, Heather Maroon, Heather Purple, Light Blue, Light Pink, Navy, Royal, Sage, Sports Gray, and White. That range is useful when the garment color is part of the design decision, not an afterthought.

For a dark tee, build contrast into the artwork. Light type, open shapes, and a clear border make a design easier to read. On a light tee, darker artwork usually carries the job. DTF handles small color changes and detailed art well, but it cannot rescue a busy composition with weak contrast. If the design only works when you zoom in, simplify it before it prints.

Pick the shirt first

Choose the garment color before finalizing the artwork. It affects contrast, line weight, and how much white ink the print needs.

Keep the hierarchy obvious

One message, one focal image, then the small details. That order reads on a moving person and in a listing thumbnail.

Color is not a finishing touch. It changes which ink colors read first and whether the print feels loud or quiet.

When the Gildan 64000 is the better choice

This is the sensible shirt for a first drop, a volunteer crew, a family event, a school group, or a store test where you need several colors and do not want the blank to swallow the margin. At Toolbox POD, S through XL start at $8.59 with one printed side. 2XL is $10.59 and 3XL is $12.59. A second printed side adds $5.00 per shirt.

It also works when a design needs to live across many colorways. A black tee can carry bold light art. Navy and charcoal work for a quieter setup. Gold, Light Blue, and Light Pink give a simple graphic a different personality without redrawing it. If you are pricing an order, remember that the $5.95 shipping fee is per order, not per shirt. The live pricing page is the place to check current numbers before you publish a listing or collect money from a group.

Do not force a premium feel with the wrong blank

If the garment itself is the reason someone will buy, compare it against the relaxed, garment-dyed option before you commit. The Gildan 64000 is the classic, price-conscious choice. It does not need to pretend to be every kind of tee.

How to order it without creating rework

  1. Choose the color and size run

    Start with the people who will wear the shirt. Pick the base color, collect the sizes, and use the flat measurements above for anyone who is unsure.

  2. Build the art for that garment

    Keep the important words large enough to read. Use contrast that belongs on the chosen shirt color. Do not add detail simply because DTF can reproduce it.

  3. Check the price before you set your selling price

    Use the live Toolbox POD price list, add your own store fees and margin, then decide what the customer pays. Do not treat a single-shirt calculation as a group-order calculation.

  4. Order the shirt

    Upload the final art and choose the Gildan 64000 in the color and size you planned. Toolbox POD prints it DTF in Utah and ships the finished shirt.

Questions people ask before buying

Is the Gildan 64000 a good shirt for a first t-shirt drop?

It is a solid first choice when price, a classic fit, and color options matter. Start with one or two colors that suit the design, use the size chart, and avoid building a large catalog before you know what customers want.

What sizes does Toolbox POD offer in the Gildan 64000?

Toolbox POD offers S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL. S through XL share the $8.59 one-side starting price. Check the garment measurements rather than assuming every tee fits the same.

Can I print on both sides of a Gildan 64000?

Yes. One printed side is included in the listed shirt price. Adding a back print costs $5.00 per shirt. Keep the front and back files clean and readable so each side earns the extra cost.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is $5.95 per order, however many shirts are in that order. Check the live pricing page before you quote a customer because shirt prices and checkout totals should come from the current price list.
