Gildan Sweatshirts: Heavy Blend and DryBlend Fleece

8 Gildan sweatshirt styles in stock
2 Lines: Heavy Blend (G185/G180) and DryBlend (G125/G120)
3 Silhouettes: pullover hoodie, full-zip, crewneck

Gildan blank sweatshirts and hoodies cover three primary lines for wholesale decorators. The G180 Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt (7.75 oz, 50/50 cotton-polyester) is the volume standard for screen-printed promotional hoodies. The G185 Heavy Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt uses the same 50/50 construction without a hood. The SF600 Softstyle Fleece Crew uses a higher cotton content for a softer hand. All three are pre-shrunk and available in the full Gildan colorway range with youth companion styles for program distribution.

G180 Heavy Blend Hoodie for Screen Print Programs

G180 at 7.75 oz is the most widely ordered Gildan hoodie for promotional and event screen printing. The 50/50 cotton-polyester construction provides dimensional stability: pre-shrunk 50/50 fleece shrinks less after decoration and washing than 100% cotton fleece. The front pocket and hood construction are standard for left-chest and full-front print placements. Gildan youth styles 18500B and 18000 coordinate with the adult G180 and G185 in matching colorways for program distributions covering both youth and adult sizes.

Screen Printing on 50/50 Fleece: Dye Migration Management

The polyester content in 50/50 fleece creates a dye migration risk for screen-printed designs. Polyester dyes can migrate through plastisol ink layers during flash curing and final cure, producing color shift on light inks over mid-tone to dark 50/50 grounds. The standard solution is a low-bleed or migration-resistant plastisol formulation, available from most major ink suppliers. Print shops running white ink on black or navy G180 as a standard product should spec migration-resistant ink as the default on all 50/50 fleece runs. The same migration risk applies to G185 and SF600 since both contain polyester in the blend. Confirming the ink formulation before starting any Gildan 50/50 fleece production run prevents reprints caused by color shift discovered after cure.

G185 Crewneck and SF600 Softstyle for Program Variety

G185 Crewneck uses the same 7.75 oz 50/50 construction as G180 without the hood, making it the crewneck companion for programs ordering both hoodie and crewneck styles in matching colors. The SF600 Softstyle Crew uses a higher cotton-content blend for a softer hand than standard Heavy Blend fleece. Programs where finished garment feel is a priority alongside Gildan pricing use SF600 as an upgrade from G185 while staying within the Gildan supplier relationship. Documenting the specific style number (G185 vs SF600) in the order spec prevents substitutions on reorder runs, as both are Gildan crewneck styles but differ in fabric weight and hand feel.
