Short Sleeve T-Shirts | Wholesale Blanks & Everyday T-shirts | Gildan Brands Australia

The crew neck T-shirt is the foundation of modern apparel. Clean lines, a balanced neckline, and a versatile silhouette make it one of the most dependable pieces in any wardrobe — and any print collection.

At Gildan Brands Australia, our crew neck T-shirts are designed for everyday wear, brand building, and everything in between. Whether you're shopping for a reliable personal staple or sourcing plain crew neck T-shirts in bulk for printing, uniforms or retail, this collection brings together performance fabrics, heavyweight cotton, garment-dyed finishes and premium unisex silhouettes from Gildan®, American Apparel® and Comfort Colors®.

Choosing the Right Short Sleeve T-Shirt

Not all short sleeve tees serve the same purpose. This collection covers multiple fabric weights, finishes and silhouettes to suit different end uses — personal or commercial.

Midweight & Everyday Cotton Tees

The go-to for large print runs, events, corporate programs and everyday wear. These styles offer:

• Reliable, consistent sizing across bulk orders
• Smooth print surfaces for screen printing and DTG
• Balanced fabric weight for all-season wear in Australia
• Strong value per unit for wholesale and retail

Available in unisex and dedicated mens short sleeve T-shirt cuts, these are the workhorse blanks of the range.

Heavyweight & Oversized Styles

For brands or buyers wanting more structure, premium feel and modern streetwear proportions:

• Thicker cotton construction for shape and durability
• Modern oversized silhouettes ideal for retail drops
• Higher perceived value — suited to premium merch and retail programs
• Greater print stability for large or complex artwork

Popular for streetwear labels, retail merch and premium corporate apparel.

Garment Dyed & Specialty Wash

For lifestyle brands, boutique collections and projects where colour variation and character are part of the design appeal:

• Garment dyed short sleeve tees in washed, lived-in tones
• Mineral wash, crystal wash and oil wash finishes
• Tie dye and bleach-out dyed styles from Comfort Colors® and Colortone®

These styles are as popular with individual buyers as they are with boutique wholesale customers.

Performance Short Sleeve Tees

Lightweight, moisture-conscious styles designed for teamwear, activewear programs, sports clubs and corporate wellness initiatives. Breathable enough for Australia's warmer conditions.
