Description

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. TheClothingSpace stocks the GDH400 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.

Fabric Blend by Color Group

Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.

Color Group Blend Print Consideration
All garment-dyed colours 80% ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester with 100% ring-spun cotton face Cotton face gives full ink holdout; low poly behind the face keeps migration risk minimal, garment-dye colours may vary between dye lots

Frequently Asked Questions

The ComfortWash GDH400 is 7.2 oz/yd2 of 80% ring-spun cotton and 20% polyester with a 100% ring-spun cotton face. The garment is dyed as a finished piece and enzyme-washed for a soft, broken-in hand. The cotton face gives the print surface the ink holdout of a cotton sweatshirt while the polyester in the back adds stability.
Yes. The GDH400's 100% cotton face gives reliable plastisol ink holdout, and the low 20% polyester content (behind the face) keeps dye migration risk well below a 50/50 fleece. Water-based and discharge inks also work on the cotton face. Discharge produces soft, within-the-fabric effects that pair naturally with the garment-dyed base colours.
Both are garment-dyed crewneck sweatshirts. The GDH400 is 7.2 oz with an 80/20 blend and cotton face. The Comfort Colors 1566 is 9.7 oz of 100% cotton, heavier in the hand, with a wider colour library, and priced higher. Both carry dye-lot variation inherent to garment-dyeing. Choose the GDH400 for the mid-tier price and enzyme-washed hand.
Yes. Shade variation between dye lots is inherent to all garment-dyed blanks, including the GDH400. Order the full program quantity at once for best colour consistency. Do not promise exact colour matching on reorders placed weeks or months apart.
Yes. TheClothingSpace stocks the ComfortWash GDH400 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style. Stocked colours ship fast within the US, which keeps lead times short on retail merchandise, vintage print, and garment-dyed fleece programs.
