Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the 5186 compare to the 5180 Beefy-T®?
A: Both feature the same heavyweight 6.1oz ring-spun cotton construction. The 5186 is the long sleeve version, while the 5180 is short sleeve. Same quality, different sleeve length.
Q: Is the Hanes 5186 good for screen printing?
A: Absolutely! The 6.1oz ring-spun cotton provides an excellent surface for screen printing with minimal dye migration. The lay-flat collar and pre-shrunk fabric ensure consistent results. It's a favorite among professional screen printers.
Q: How much does the 5186 shrink after washing?
A: The Hanes 5186 is pre-shrunk, so you'll experience minimal shrinkage (typically 3-5%) when washed according to care instructions. This makes it reliable for decorated apparel programs.
Q: What's the difference between Ash and Light Steel colors?
A: Ash is a 99/1 cotton/poly heather grey, while Light Steel is a 90/10 cotton/poly grey-blue heather. Light Steel has slightly more polyester for enhanced durability and less shrinkage.
Q: Can I embroider on the Hanes 5186?
A: Yes! The heavyweight 6.1oz fabric is excellent for embroidery. The substantial construction prevents puckering and provides a professional finished appearance for embroidered logos and designs.
