ComfortWash by Hanes GDH400 - Unisex 80/20 Crew Sweatshirt - Saltwater

The ComfortWash by Hanes GDH400 is a 7.2 oz 80/20 cotton/polyester garment-dyed crewneck sweatshirt with a 100% ring-spun cotton face and enzyme-washed finish, the fleece counterpart to the GDH100/GDH150 tee program. The garment-dye process colours the finished piece for the muted, vintage-washed palette that raw-dyed fleece cannot replicate, while the 100% cotton face gives the print surface the ink holdout and hand of a cotton sweatshirt. The 20% polyester in the back of the fabric adds dimensional stability without changing the decoration rules on the cotton face. The enzyme wash breaks the fabric in before it ships, so the buyer gets a soft, lived-in hand from the first wear, not after five wash cycles.

The cotton face simplifies the decoration decision. For DTF transfers, the cotton surface bonds cleanly with transfer adhesives at standard heat-press settings and the 7.2 oz fleece holds flat under the platen. For screen printing, plastisol prints with reliable holdout on the cotton face. The low poly content (20%, all behind the face) keeps dye migration risk below the threshold of a 50/50 fleece, though on deep red and bright garment-dyed colours a test print is still good practice. Water-based inks work on the cotton face, and discharge produces soft, within-the-fabric effects that pair naturally with the garment-dyed base. For embroidery, 7.2 oz fleece is a solid substrate for left-chest and back placements without extra backing on standard stitch counts. For vinyl/HTV, the cotton face holds vinyl at standard settings.

The GDH400 competes with the Comfort Colors 1566 crewneck and the Hanes F260 Ultimate Cotton crew in different segments. The GDH400 at 7.2 oz is the garment-dyed option with a cotton face, enzyme-washed hand, and the vintage colour palette. The Comfort Colors 1566 at 9.7 oz is heavier with 100% cotton and a broader garment-dyed colour library, but at a significantly higher price. The Hanes F260 at 9.7 oz is a raw-dyed 90/10 crew with PrintPro XP for the cleanest possible print surface, but in standard (not garment-dyed) colours. Choose the GDH400 when the program needs the garment-dyed look and enzyme-washed hand at a mid-tier price.
