About the Gildan 64000B
The Gildan 64000B brings the Softstyle ring-spun cotton construction down to youth sizing, the same 4.5-ounce 100% ring-spun cotton with a 30-singles yarn that powers the adult Gildan G640 Softstyle. For school programs that want a step up from basic Heavy Cotton, boutique kids' brands building merch collections, youth team orders, and any decoration program where finer-yarn cotton matters to the end customer or their parents, the 64000B is the youth tee built around quality rather than just unit price.
The Softstyle ring-spun cotton is the differentiator. A 30-singles ring-spun yarn produces a smoother, more refined surface than the coarser 20-singles yarn used in basic Heavy Cotton youth tees, which translates into a softer hand and a cleaner printing surface for screen printing, DTG, DTF, and embroidery. Color planning is the one place to pay attention before you commit a print: the Heather Oatmeal (99/1) and Sport Grey (90/10) colorways behave essentially like 100% cotton on press, while Graphite Heather (50/50), Dark Heather, and the rest of the Heather color group (65/35 polyester/cotton) need dye migration considerations on dark prints.
Construction details that matter for youth programs: the modern classic fit sits a hair closer to the body than a traditional youth cut, the classic-width rib collar holds its shape through repeated wear and wash, and the taped neck and shoulders add durability where the seams take the most stress. One spec worth flagging because it differs across the size range: the 64000B uses a tubular body for sizes Small and up, but Size XS has side seams. For most decoration programs that doesn't change anything practical, but for printers placing artwork close to the side seam line, the difference is worth knowing. Every 64000B ships with a CPSIA tracking label, which keeps youth-program buyers in compliance with consumer product safety reporting requirements without any extra paperwork.
Available in XS through XL with a versatile color range. For the matching adult Softstyle in the same fabric construction, the Gildan G640 Adult Softstyle is the natural pairing for mixed-age program orders. For a youth cotton tee at a lower price point in a heavier weight class, the Gildan 5000B Youth Heavy Cotton covers the budget end of the youth cotton category. For a youth triblend option with a premium soft hand, the Next Level 6310 Youth Triblend is worth comparing.
FAQ
How does the 64000B differ from the Gildan 5000B Youth Heavy Cotton?
Both are 100% cotton youth tees from Gildan, but the fabric construction is different. The 64000B is 4.5-ounce Softstyle in a finer 30-singles ring-spun yarn, which produces a softer hand and a smoother printing surface. The 5000B is heavier at 5.3 ounces in a coarser 20-singles yarn, which gives it more weight and substance but a less refined hand. For programs where softness and a fashion-forward feel matter (boutique kids' brands, school programs that want a quality step up), the 64000B is the right pick. For high-volume budget programs where unit price wins, the 5000B is the practical alternative.
Is the 64000B good for DTG printing?
Yes. The 30-singles ring-spun cotton construction is one of the better youth blank surfaces for DTG, since the finer yarn produces a smoother substrate that holds DTG ink with sharper image detail than a coarser youth tee. Standard pre-treatment workflow applies, and results are particularly clean on lighter colorways. For dark prints on the heather colors that include polyester content, use a poly-friendly underbase to prevent dye migration.
What is CPSIA tracking label compliance?
CPSIA is the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which requires permanent tracking labels on children's apparel sold in the U.S. The 64000B's tracking label includes the manufacturer information, production location, and date code that CPSIA requires, so youth-program buyers don't need to add separate compliance documentation when ordering for schools, camps, or other regulated channels.
Why does Size XS have side seams when the rest of the sizes don't?
The 64000B uses a tubular knit body for sizes Small through XL, but the smaller XS size is constructed with side seams instead. This is a manufacturing choice that's standard across the smallest sizes in many youth tee lines. For most decoration programs the difference doesn't matter, but for printers placing artwork close to the side seam line on the smallest size, the difference is worth knowing in advance.
What sizes are available?
Sizes XS through XL. Body length runs 18 inches (XS) through 25 inches (XL); chest width runs 14 inches (XS) through 19 inches (XL), measured laid flat with a +/-1 inch tolerance.
