Gildan Hoodies: Heavy Blend and Softstyle Fleece for Volume Programs

206 Gildan hoodie products in stock
8 oz/yd² on the 18500 Heavy Blend (50/50 cotton/poly fleece)
7.5 oz/yd² on the SF500 Softstyle pullover hoodie

Gildan hoodies are the volume choice for budget school and event programs. The 18500 Heavy Blend is the most commonly ordered hoodie in wholesale screen printing: 8 oz, 50/50 cotton/polyester fleece, available in an extensive color range. The 50/50 blend reduces shrinkage versus 100% cotton fleece and provides a consistent surface for plastisol screen printing across large production runs.

18500 Heavy Blend and SF500 Softstyle

18500 Adult Heavy Blend Hoodie uses 8 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester fleece. The 18000 crew and 18600 zip hoodie use the same fleece construction and match the 18500 for programs requiring coordinated styles. SF500 Softstyle Pullover Hoodie runs at 7.5 oz with a softer yarn construction than Heavy Blend. Softstyle is the mid-tier option for programs wanting a step above the commodity Heavy Blend without moving up to retail-fit blanks from other brands.

Youth Sizes and School Program Ordering

18500B Youth Heavy Blend Hoodie matches the adult 18500 in fabric construction and color range. For school spirit programs and fundraiser hoodies where both adult and youth sizes are needed, the 18500 and 18500B are the standard volume choice. Case pricing on Gildan hoodies gives the most competitive per-unit cost in the wholesale fleece market.

FAQ

Common Questions About Gildan Hoodies

18500 Adult Heavy Blend Hoodie uses 8 oz/yd² 50/50 cotton/polyester fleece. The 50/50 blend reduces shrinkage compared to 100% cotton fleece and maintains shape after repeated washing. At 8 oz, it is a heavier fleece than most mid-price retail hoodies, which tend to run 6.5-7.5 oz.
18500 Heavy Blend uses 8 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester fleece with a standard construction. SF500 Softstyle Pullover runs at 7.5 oz with a softer yarn construction that produces a better hand feel. 18500 is the standard volume budget choice. SF500 is a mid-tier step up for programs where garment feel matters more but premium-brand pricing is not justified.
Yes. 18500B Youth Heavy Blend Hoodie uses the same 8 oz 50/50 fleece as the adult 18500. Youth sizes run XS-XL. It is available in the same color range as 18500 adult, making same-color adult-youth ordering straightforward for school and team programs.
Yes. 18500 is one of the most widely screen-printed hoodies in wholesale. The 8 oz fleece provides backing thickness for plastisol inks without bleed-through. Standard plastisol at 320-330°F cure temperature works on the 50/50 blend. The inside of the pouch pocket may require a platen insert to avoid printing on interior surfaces.
18500 is the pullover hoodie. 18600 is the full-zip hoodie. Both use the same 8 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester fleece construction and are available in the same color range. For programs requiring zip construction (layering, athletic wear, programs where pullover is impractical), 18600 is the Gildan zip option at the same price tier.
A standard Gildan case contains 12 pieces, all the same color and size. To order multiple sizes, separate cases per size are needed. Case pricing significantly reduces per-unit cost versus piece pricing. For high-volume screen print programs, school runs, and event orders, case ordering is the standard approach.
