The record below - the full brand portfolio, the printwear and retail market structure, the factory regions and the employee figure of its filing, with its 2017 brand board photograph - is kept in full on the history page. Current ranges and distributor terms are on Gildan's own site, linked above; the shop box covers Gildan products sold through Amazon and eBay.
Two primary markets organise the selling. In printwear markets the company distributes across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America - the channel that supplies decorators and printers, which is why this page's routes include blank T-shirt wholesalers and corporate apparel pages. In retail markets it sells to a broad spectrum of retailers primarily in the U.S. and Canada, and also manufactures for select leading global athletic and lifestyle consumer brands. The same factories, in other words, feed both a blank tee bound for a screen printer and a branded sock bound for a department store shelf.
The earlier record for this company - its history, past brand line-ups, figures and photographs from the periods described - is kept on a separate page for historical reference.
