Heavyweight Cotton Boxy T-Shirt — Private Label

The Heavyweight Cotton Boxy T-Shirt is a customisable heavy jersey tee manufactured by Giborn Apparel and the base garment most of our private label clients build a range on. The body is cut square rather than tapered, the shoulder sits slightly wide, and the neck rib is specified with enough recovery that it does not stretch out — the detail buyers notice after a month, not on arrival. Finished flat with no wash, it delivers even colour across a full size run. It anchors our men’s t-shirts category.

Customization Options

• Jersey from 190 to 280 GSM in combed cotton, CVC or organic cotton
• Boxy, regular or fitted body from a common base pattern
• Neck rib height and elastane content tuned for recovery
• Side-seamed or tubular construction to hit different price points
• Reactive or garment dye, with lab dips to your Pantone references
• Screen print, embroidery, woven labels and printed inner necks
• Size runs graded to EU, US or AU standards

Why Produce With Giborn

On a base tee the whole risk is repeatability across colours and across reorders. Core fabric bases are held in our own inventory so a repeat run does not wait on a mill, and each roll is matched by composition, GSM and colour lot before cutting. The stock and traceability system is described on our manufacturing page.

MOQ, Sampling & Lead Time

Flexible MOQ · Sampling 5–15 days · Bulk 30–60 days. This block usually approves in a single round, so most of the calendar goes into colour approval rather than fit. We run lab dips in parallel with fit sampling through our OEM and ODM service.
