NOTHING ELSE COMES CLOSE

When you work with passion, year after year, you get very good at what you do. That’s why Comfort Colors® tees feel and look the way they do—because we’ve worked for 40+ years to perfect the incomparable softness, worn-in comfort and nature-inspired hues of our apparel. Newcomers may try to imitate us, but their apparel can’t compare to ours because they don’t have the know-how gleaned from decades of dedication to our craft. It’s a process that’s part science, part art, with every step done precisely right—from selecting the finest, softest cotton to garment-dyeing at the perfect temperature for the exact amount of time.

That’s why so many people insist on Comfort Colors® and nothing else—because there’s no substitute for the satisfaction of wearing a true original.

You have to wear most tees practically to pieces before they get that aged-to-perfection softness you love. We believe you shouldn’t have to wait. Our exclusive garment-dyeing techniques produce a hand so soft, you’d have to wash a standard shirt 50 times to begin to compare it to the softness of a Comfort Colors® tee.

2

If you’ve shopped elsewhere for pigment-dyed apparel, you know you can get any colour under the sun—as long as it’s blue, black or grey. With 41 colours from Comfort Colors® to choose from, you can take your pick from a palette of dozens of nature-inspired hues. Check out all your options from our earthy neutrals starting on page 6.

When your tee feels this fantastic, you want the comfort to last. We build Comfort Colors® apparel to give you the long-term relationship you’ve always wanted. We do not hold back on the strength and the extras like multi-needle waistbands, durable twin-needle seams and neat twin-fold collars, whereas others might.

3

Speak volumes without saying a single word when you put your message on a Comfort Colors® tee. Every Comfort Colors® piece of apparel is crafted to tell your individual story boldly and clearly, with densely knit fabrics that make an ideal foundation for any sort of embellishment. Garment-dyeing gives each piece a well-worn patina that adds street cred to your statement. Choose the subtle colour variations and weathered look of our pigment-dyed tees to give your graphics an artisanal vibe or amplify the impact of your message with richly coloured reactive-dyed tees.

We’ve been perfecting our pigment-dye methods to produce a palette of colours inspired by nature itself. Created for lived-in comfort, the pigment-dye process begins with crushed colour molecules that bind to the fabric. The tees are then washed multiple times, resulting in vintage, weathered tones and subtle shades that continue to soften with age. Our passion for colour and craftsmanship is why customers ask for us by name. Comfort Colors®—the original pigment dye. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE 6

PRINTING TECHNIQUES

Screen Printing (Silk Screening) A technique that uses stencils and ink to create designs on garments. It is the most economical method for producing large quantities that involve cotton or cotton-blend garments.

Discharge Printing This form of screen printing uses a water-based catalyzed (activator) ink. The discharge agent neutralizes the colour in the garment while also adding the new colour. Discharge base (without colourant) will discharge many garments to a soft natural colour.

Foil A premiummethod that combines heat and pressure to transfer foil to a garment. Foil is available in a variety of colours and patterns and can be used to create dramatic accents or overall designs on all colours and weights of fabrics.

Hot Split Transfer Printing Combines heat and pressure to transfer images to garments. The transfer paper is peeled away while still hot resulting in the majority of the ink melting into the fabric for a softer, lighter feeling print. This is a great option for detailed prints, customization, shorter runs and quick turnaround times.

Puff Ink Printing A method for creating a raised rounded effect by screen printing with an ink containing a unique foaming agent or puff additive that expands when heated. Ideal for simple designs.

Mixed Techniques Depending on the look to be achieved, it may be necessary to employ more than one technique to achieve the desired result. Screen printing and embroidery can be combined along with a shiny appliqué to produce a garment with a higher perceived value.

24

Glitter Ink Special clear or metallic shiny glitter can add shine or impact to a design. The glitter may be added into inks, printed as a top layer, or shaken on top of the ink. This technique works best on larger print areas with simple designs.

Reflective Printing Reflective inks consist of small glass beads in a carrier base. They cause any bright light to reflect off the print directly back at the viewer. This technique works best on larger print areas with simple designs.

Neon Colours A screen printing process using neon or fluorescent inks. On coloured garments they are printed on top of a white opaque base to achieve the brightest possible ink colour. Print colours range from bright orange to lime and hot pink.

Direct to Garment This form of printing utilizes specialized ink jet technologies to print in full colour directly on garments using a water-based CMYK system for white shirts and an added white-ink for coloured garments. Ideal for full colour prints and for reproducing fine detail. This option is ideal for projects with short turnaround times or short runs and can work on both light and dark garments. Note though, exact Pantone® colour matching is not usually possible .

Distressed Printing Distressed printing gives screen prints an intentionally weathered look right from the start .

Laser Cut Appliqué Printed material is sewn onto a garment with an

embroidery machine and then a laser cuts away the excess material. This technique adds dimension and detail to your garment. Ideal for heavier weight garments such as fleece and bold designs, not fine detail.

COMFORT COLORS® SHIRTS FEEL INCREDIBLY GOOD AND YOU CAN FEEL INCREDIBLY GOOD ABOUT WEARING THEM. As part of the Gildan family of brands, we live out our GENUINE RESPONSIBILITY™ commitment every day, in every phase of production, from field to finished product. At Comfort Colors® we believe that our goals will be achieved by caring for our people, conserving the environment and creating strong communities through our sustainability programmes and social initiatives. CONSERVING THE ENVIRONMENT Our commitment to environmental responsibility has always inspired and challenged us to minimize waste, optimise resources and pursue continuous improvements in every aspect of our operations. In 2017, by capturing the heat in our wastewater and transferring it to our incoming water, we managed to avoid burning the equivalent of 1.5 million gallons of fossil fuels. We have also been able to recycle or repurpose 86% of our total company waste. Our water-saving programmes last year saved us 1.2 million m3 of water even though we produced 5%more products. CARING FOR OUR PEOPLE We are keenly aware of our impact on people’s lives and the communities they live in. Our commitment to them—and to you—is to provide safe, ethical and rewarding places to work, where everyone gets the fair treatment and respect we all deserve. As part of the benefits we offered last year, we provided close to U.S. $15M worth of meal subsidies, $5M worth of free transportation, over 2 MILLION MAN-HOURS OF TRAINING AND 181,000 FREE MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS.

AND OUR EFFORTS DON’T END THERE… CREATING STRONG COMMUNITIES

As one of the largest private employers in most of the regions where we operate, we are in the unique position of being able to create economic development opportunities that reach beyond the jobs we create. In 2017 we purchased more than U.S. $150M worth of materials from local suppliers, creating thousands of incremental jobs along the way. Through our community engagement programmes, our investments are focused on improving local infrastructure and enriching people’s quality of life by advancing access to education and fostering a healthy and active lifestyle. We partner with community organisations to target and respond to the most pressing needs in the regions where we operate.

So the next time you slip on a COMFORT COLORS® TEE , soak up the softness, enjoy the nature-inspired colours and take comfort knowing that your choice is Making Apparel Better.
