What is Gildan?

Gildan is a major manufacturer and supplier of quality and cost-effective promotional apparel, including sweatshirts, T-shirts, hoodies, kidswear and polo shirts based in Canada. As one of North America's biggest-selling wholesale activewear brands, its market share in Europe is growing rapidly.

Gildan manufactures its products in Central America and the Caribbean. It has over 4,000 employees worldwide and is committed to ethical labour practices and environmental sustainability throughout its manufacturing. In April 2004, Gildan became the first manufacturer catering to North America's wholesale imprinted activewear market to obtain the Oeko-Text® Standard 100 certification.

When was Gildan founded, and what is the company's history?

Gildan's company history began in 1984 in Montreal, Canada. It was founded by Glenn and Greg Chamandy, who originally started the business to supply fabric to their family’s knitting mill. Over the decades, it grew from a small regional supplier into one of the world's largest vertically integrated manufacturers of apparel, eventually acquiring other famous brands like American Apparel and Comfort Colours.

Who owns Gildan?

Gildan (formally Gildan Activewear Inc.) is a publicly traded company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. While it started as a family-run enterprise, much like us here at Buytshirtsonline, it is now owned by institutional and individual shareholders globally.

Where are Gildan products made?

Gildan owns and operates large-scale manufacturing facilities primarily located in Central America, the Caribbean Basin, North America, and Bangladesh. By owning the majority of their supply chain, they can ensure consistent quality and ethical standards across their Gildan clothing lines.

How does Gildan fit?

Gildan garments typically offer a classic, "American" fit, which is generally more generous and boxy than European brands.

Classic Fit (e.g. Ultra Cotton): Tends to run slightly larger for a traditional, relaxed fit.

Euro/Modern Fit (e.g. Softstyle): Offers a more tailored, slimmer fit through the sleeves and chest. We always recommend checking the specific size guide on each product page before ordering in bulk.
