Gildan G120 - Unisex DryBlend® 50/50 Fleece Crew - Black

The Gildan G120, listed as the Gildan 12000, is the DryBlend line's crewneck sweatshirt: a 9.3 oz 50/50 cotton-polyester fleece with Gildan's DryBlend moisture-management finish applied at the yarn level. At 9.3 oz it is heavier than the G180 Heavy Blend (8 oz), which positions it as a warm-weather-resistant activewear blank that doubles as a standard team or event sweatshirt. The DryBlend treatment runs throughout the polyester component and is designed to move moisture away from the body, which is why it shows up in athletic program and workwear orders where the G180 or a straight 50/50 would not be specified. The G120 runs high-twist air-jet spun yarn that reduces pilling and produces a relatively smooth face for a 9.3 oz fleece.

The decoration note most decorators miss on the G120: the DryBlend moisture-wicking finish does not suppress dye migration. The 50/50 blend carries the same migration risk as any other 50/50 fleece under heat, and on dark colours the heavier 9.3 oz weight means more dye-loaded fibre in contact with your ink. For screen printing, run a low-bleed poly-block underbase on all dark and saturated colours (Navy, Black, Maroon, Red, Forest Green, Royal) and cure at the lower end of the ink manufacturer's range; the DryBlend coating is not a substitute for a proper underbase. The air-jet yarn face is smooth enough to hold mid-detail plastisol cleanly once the underbase is in place. DTF is the most forgiving route across the full colour range, including the reactive-dye darks, because transfer adhesive bonds to the polyester content and the film sits on top of the surface rather than curing into it. For embroidery, the 9.3 oz weight is a strong substrate for left-chest and full-front placements; use a cut-away backing scaled to the stitch count. DTG is uncommon on heavy 50/50 fleece; route decoration to DTF, screen print, or embroidery.
