The differences between the t-shirts are fairly minor, so the extra color choices, and the few cents you save on each t-shirt, make it the sensible choice. If you\u2019re buying for yourself, I\u2019d pay the extra cents and go for the Fruit of the Loom SS048. Unless you want a lighter, more fitted tee, then go for SOL\u2019S. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc80f39 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"fc80f39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f65a68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f65a68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><div>Style Variations<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-primary ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: 2.25rem; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-weight );\"><\/span><\/div><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-714001c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"714001c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gildan ticks the most boxes here.

Gildan is the best option for resale. You get more variety than with the other two brands, including different materials, which gives you extra options for printing. You can also save a few cents on each t-shirt, which might not sound like much, but can add up over time, especially with larger sizes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversely, we put them in last place for individual purchases.
