100% Cotton

100% cotton is the foundation of the wholesale blank market. It's the fabric construction that most decorators learn on, most events are outfitted in, and most end customers default to when they're not thinking about it — which is most of the time. Bulkthreads.com carries 100% cotton blanks across every weight, price tier, and use case, from budget event tees to garment-dyed retail-quality blanks.

The Gildan G500 Adult Heavy Cotton Tee is one of the most widely decorated blanks in wholesale — 5.3 oz., 100% cotton, available in an extensive color range across basic, traditional, and extended colorways. The G500L Ladies' version and G500B Youth Tee make it easy to outfit mixed groups on a single brand. For a heavier option, the Gildan G200 Ultra Cotton Tee at 6 oz. offers more structure and a slightly more substantial hand feel. The Hanes 5250 Tagless Tee at 6.1 oz. is a comparable alternative with brand recognition that resonates with end consumers, and the Hanes 5280 ComfortSoft Tee is a lighter, softer option at 5.2 oz. for programs where wearability matters more than weight.

The Port & Company PC61 Essential Tee is one of the most versatile 100% cotton blanks in the collection—a 6.1 oz. ring-spun cotton tee with a clean, classic fit that works for screen printing, embroidery, and DTG alike. The PC61 family extends across formats that few other styles match: the PC61LS Long Sleeve Tee, PC61P Pocket Tee, PC61T Tall Tee, LPC61 Ladies' Tee, and PC61Y Youth Tee — a complete family that can outfit every age group and size range on a single style.

At the premium end, the Comfort Colors C1717 Heavyweight Tee is a category of its own — 6.1 oz. garment-dyed ring-spun cotton with a worn-in, pigment-washed finish that arrives pre-washed and ready to wear. It's a strong choice for vintage-inspired merch drops, lifestyle brands, and any program where the garment's appearance is part of the design rather than just the canvas. The Gildan G640 Softstyle Tee bridges the gap between budget cotton and premium ring-spun — 4.5 oz. ring-spun construction at a price point that's still accessible for mid-volume runs.

For print runs that need a softer hand feel or heathered colorways alongside 100% cotton basics, the ring-spun cotton collection and blends collection are natural complements.
