They’ve become the go-to choices for those looking to build their collections with the best pieces. Curious to see which brands make the cut? Check out our top picks for 2025 below!
Gildan
Well, it probably comes as no surprise that Gildan ranks among the top sellers on Wordans. Known for its perfect balance of price and quality, Gildan has built a solid reputation that resonates with individuals and businesses alike. What makes this brand stand out? It’s not just the affordability, but also the reliability and comfort they offer across their entire range.
But what’s the best-selling Gildan product so far this year? No surprise here – the Gildan 18500 takes the top spot. Since the first quarter of the year tends to be chilly in many places, this cozy hoodie was a go-to for warmth and style. With its soft fleece interior, double-lined hood, and durable fabric, it’s no wonder it became a favorite for custom prints.
Of course, Gildan is best known for its t-shirts, and the true star of that category is the Gildan 5000. Why do people love it so much? It comes in over 69 colors, making it a versatile option for any design. Combine that with its unbeatable price, and it’s easy to see why it’s everybody’s favorite. Right behind it is the Gildan 64000, which offers a slightly more premium feel. The main difference? The 64000 is made from ringspun cotton, giving it a softer and smoother texture, while the 5000 uses preshrunk open-end cotton, which is a bit more rugged and structured.
Next Level Apparel
Next Level Apparel earns its place as one of the top-selling brands of 2025, known for combining premium quality with sustainable practices. Offering a wide range of comfortable, customizable clothing, it’s a favorite among businesses looking for high-end apparel at an affordable price.
Coming in strong as the top product, the Next Level 6210 t-shirt is loved for its soft cotton-polyester blend and durability, making it the ideal choice for custom prints. Its smooth finish, comfort, and versatile color options make it a standout for businesses.
Yupoong
At Wordans, we don’t just offer apparel. We’ve got a wide range of accessories too, and Yupoong proves that hats deserve just as much love as t-shirts and hoodies. As a globally recognized name in headwear, Yupoong brings together style, durability, and a perfect fit in every cap. Whether you’re looking for casual everyday wear or pieces for branding and events, Yupoong stands out with high-quality craftsmanship and timeless designs.
So, what’s the standout product driving Yupoong’s success? That would be the Yupoong 6006– Five-Panel Classic Trucker Cap. It’s not just a favorite, it’s a go-to for bulk orders, especially for companies, events, and custom merch lines. With its structured five-panel design, breathable mesh back, and adjustable snapback closure, it’s built for comfort and long-lasting wear. Plus, its large front panel makes it an ideal canvas for logos and custom embroidery, making it a smart, stylish choice for brands wanting to make a statement.
Prime Line
Sliding into the top five is Prime Line. Wordans first promotional product brand to make the list, and honestly, it totally deserves the spotlight. Prime Line is all about customization. From practical everyday items to fun giveaways, their stuff is designed to be branded, gifted, and remembered. It’s the kind of brand that helps businesses show up in creative ways, without breaking the bank.
Their best-seller so far? The Prime Line NB161 Soft Touch Notebook. With the sleek, soft touch, elastic band to keep everything together, and a ribbon bookmark for that extra classy touch. It’s a favorite for events, offices, and client gifts.
But okay… we can’t talk about Prime Line without mentioning their actual top seller by numbers: The Racing Rubber Ducks. Yep. You read that right. Someone out there placed one massive order and now, technically, ducks are flying off our virtual shelves. It might not be the product we expected to lead… but hey, when life gives you ducks, you lean into it.
Authentic Pigment
Rounding out our top five is a brand that brings vintage charm. Authentic Pigment is known for its dyed and washed canvas goods. They’ve carved out a niche in the world of classic, laid-back style. While they do offer hats, it’s canvas bags that really steal the show, especially for customers looking to add a rustic, premium feel to their branding or retail line.
The product that sold the most at the beginning of 2025? The Authentic Pigment 1902 Canvas Field Bag. This one made its mark early in the year and hasn’t slowed down. Crafted from 100% cotton canvas and heavy enzyme-washed for that worn-in, lived-in vibe, it features cotton webbing straps, a front flap with antique brass turn-buckles, and a handy zippered pocket inside. No wonder it’s become a go-to for artists, makers, and small brands.
