Classic Cotton Long Sleeve Tee — Private Label

The Classic Cotton Long Sleeve Tee is a customisable straight-body long sleeve manufactured by Giborn Apparel for retail basics ranges, uniform programmes and merchandise buyers who need a dependable mid-layer at a workable price. The body runs straight rather than tapered, sleeves are set in rather than raglan, and the cuff is ribbed so it holds after washing. Nothing about it is fashionable, which is why it stays in range for years. It sits in our men’s long sleeves category and can be finished flat or garment-dyed for a softer, less uniform colour.

Customization Options

• Single jersey from 160 to 220 GSM in cotton, CVC or tri-blend
• Body length and sleeve length graded independently
• Crew, V-neck or mock neck, with rib or self-fabric binding
• Side-seamed or tubular construction, which changes cost noticeably
• Garment dye finish for tonal softness, or reactive dye for flat even colour
• Shoulder-to-shoulder taping, tear-away labels and custom hem tags

Why Produce With Giborn

On a basic, the risk is not construction but shrinkage — a tee that fits at approval and not after three washes. Every fabric roll is shrinkage-tested on arrival before it enters stock, and the tested figure is what we grade the pattern against. That testing sits at the front of the seven inspection gates we run.

MOQ, Sampling & Lead Time

Flexible MOQ · Sampling 5–15 days · Bulk 30–60 days. Basics sample quickly, but we recommend a wash test on the approved sample before bulk release — it costs three days and removes the single most common cause of a rejected delivery. Read how we sequence approvals in our OEM and ODM service.
