What are the largest sizes available for shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts?
When ordering custom screen printed or embroidered apparel, size inclusivity is just as important as style and color. Many customers ask: “What’s the largest size available for shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts?” Let’s break it down.
T-Shirts
Most popular t-shirt brands (like Gildan, Hanes, Bella+Canvas, and Next Level) usually stock up to 5XL in standard colors.
Some basic lines, such as Gildan 2000 (Ultra Cotton) or Gildan 5000 (Heavy Cotton), even offer 6XL in certain colors.
Fashion-fit brands like Bella+Canvas typically stop around 3XL.
Hoodies & Sweatshirts
Standard fleece options (like Gildan 18500 hoodie or Gildan 18000 crewneck sweatshirt) often go up to 5XL, sometimes 6XL.
Midweight and premium fashion hoodies (such as Independent Trading Co. or Lane Seven) typically range up to 3XL or 4XL.
Availability depends on the color — neutral shades (black, navy, sport gray) often go higher in size than fashion colors.
Why Larger Sizes May Vary
Brand & Style – Basic wholesale brands usually run larger than retail fashion brands.
Color Availability – Extended sizes are more likely offered in core colors.
Fabric Blends – Specialty blends (like triblends) often have smaller size runs, while heavy cotton basics have more extended options.
