About the Gildan G648L
The Gildan G648L is the women's version of the Softstyle Double Pique Polo, a 5.2-ounce 100% ring-spun cotton polo with a 31-singles yarn that sits in Gildan's premium ring-spun tier. Built for corporate uniform programs, hospitality staff apparel, golf event programs, and any program that needs a women's-cut polo with a more refined hand than basic blended-fabric polos, the G648L is the ladies' polo built around comfort and decoration quality.
The double pique construction is the key fabric detail. A pique knit produces the small textured grid that polos are known for, and the "double" pique uses a tighter, denser version of that knit structure for a smoother surface and better shape retention than single pique. The 31-singles ring-spun cotton yarn means the surface stays soft against the skin without the rougher hand that coarser pique fabrics can develop, and the breathable knit handles warmer-weather wear better than a jersey or interlock polo would. Embroidery is the standard decoration method for polos, and the double pique surface holds embroidery stitching cleanly with sharp logo definition; the high stitch density also means screen printing and DTF heat transfer work well for programs that prefer those decoration methods.
Construction details that matter for the women's cut: the semi-fitted silhouette sits closer to the body than a unisex polo, the rolled forward shoulders give the seam a more polished line at the front of the garment, the side seams give the body a cleaner shape than a tubular construction, and the clean finished placket with dyed-to-match buttons keeps the front line tidy without the contrast button look that reads more casual. The ribbed knit collar holds its shape through repeated wear and wash, and the tear-away label removes cleanly for relabeling programs.
Available in Small through 2XL with a versatile color range. For the matching men's polo in the same Softstyle Double Pique fabric, the Gildan G648 Men's Softstyle Double Pique Polo is the natural pairing for staff programs that need both cuts on a single setup. For a heavier blended polo at a lower per-unit cost, the Gildan G880 Adult 50/50 Jersey Polo covers the budget side of the polo category, though it uses a jersey knit rather than pique and runs in a unisex cut rather than ladies'.
FAQ
Is the G648L good for embroidery?
Yes. The double pique construction holds embroidery stitching with sharp logo definition, and a left chest placement is the standard approach for corporate, hospitality, and event programs. The 31-singles ring-spun cotton means the embroidery sits flat against the surface without the puckering that loose-knit polo fabrics can produce around denser stitch areas.
What's the difference between double pique and single pique?
Both are pique knits, the textured small-grid weave that polos are known for. Double pique uses a tighter, denser version of the knit structure that produces a smoother surface, better shape retention through repeated wear and wash, and more durable behavior over the lifetime of the garment. For corporate and staff polo programs where the polo gets daily wear and frequent washing, double pique generally outlasts single pique. The trade-off is a slightly heavier feel, which most program buyers see as a positive.
Can I screen print on the G648L?
Yes, though embroidery is the more common choice for polos in this fabric class. The double pique surface takes plastisol and water-based screen inks cleanly, and the 31-singles ring-spun cotton produces sharp print edges. Print placement on a polo typically lands on the left chest above the placket end or on the back upper panel; large front prints that cross the placket aren't recommended because the placket buttons interrupt any image continuity.
