Research notes & open questions

Low cost and durable, but a heavier open-end hand, off-white White, and provider-specific print geometry.[2][3][4][5][19][35]

Printify per-provider base prices are unknown (printify.com blocked), so no Printify offer rows exist.

Print Clever (pp72) variant grid/colours/geometry missing (HTTP 429).

Gildan's official youth spec/size PDF was not readable (gildan.com/ssactivewear bot-walled); the body-fit chart rests on a single distributor.

OEKO-TEX certificate 168252 was not confirmed in the official label-check registry.

No public technical flats, sewing patterns, 3D meshes or grade rules for the 5000B.

No lab data for shrinkage, colorfastness, pilling or wash durability.

Printful's per-variant material field reports 100% cotton for every colour including Sport Grey; the Printful description and the Printify blueprint both state Sport Grey is 90/10, so the blend is canonical. · Reference Selected
