Gildan makes a lot of their shirts in pretty bad sweatshops.
But if you’re looking for t-shirts made somewhere more “ethical”, prepare to literally pay 10x the price.
For my workout or dirty work shirts I go to thrift stores. There’ll be lots of polyester/cotton blend shirts but probably still gonna be more than $3.
From what I can see Gildan shirts are made in Canada. Saying they use “pretty bad sweatshops” is a pretty inflammatory accusation. Please either provide some documentation or take this down.

A little more looking reveals that Glidan was one of the first textile businesses accredited by the Fair Labor Association, a nonprofit created during the Clinton administration to monitor and verify labor practices worldwide.
But you’ve got a map with dots on it.
An organization funded by the companies it monitors.
Srsly? Not saying you’re wrong but could you share your research that led you to that? Wikipedia says it’s “a non-profit collaborative effort of universities, civil society organizations, and businesses,” founded by a government-created task force that included apparel companies and human rights groups.
