Description
The Gildan G184 is the Heavy Blend 50/50 Open-Bottom Sweatpant, the blank that completes a matched Heavy Blend sweatsuit program when the top is already the G185 pullover hoodie or the G180 crewneck sweatshirt. It uses the same 8 oz 50/50 cotton/poly Heavy Blend fleece body with air-jet spun yarn as both of those tops, meaning the fleece face weight, the colour family, and the fabric hand match across the whole set. A shop running a 144-piece spirit-wear or team warm-up order in Navy or Black can pull the G184 bottom from the same vendor, the same colour card, and the same fleece spec as the G185 hoodie and close the sweatsuit program without sourcing a second fleece body. The covered elastic waistband carries a drawcord, the leg is slightly tapered with a differential rise for a clean silhouette, and the open-bottom hem stays flat through repeated wash cycles. There are no pockets on the G184 standard blank; the G18300 carries jersey-lined side seam pockets if the program requires them. Sizes run S to 3XL across 10 colours.
The G184 decorates like its sister Heavy Blend fleece tops, with one practical difference: the pant has no chest panel, so the print lands on the hip or thigh rather than front centre. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the 50/50 fleece face at standard heat settings and is the most practical route for a hip logo or a leg-length name and number run; press firmly so the film seats into the brushed nap and keep the placement clear of the waistband. For screen printing with plastisol, load a single leg onto a sleeve or leg platen to print it flat; the 50% polyester content means a poly-blocking underbase is required on dark colours such as Black and Navy, and a slightly thicker ink deposit helps the nap from showing through at standard cure. For embroidery, the 8 oz Heavy Blend fleece holds a hip or thigh design at a moderate stitch density over a cut-away backing; the air-jet yarn gives a smoother face than a basic open-end fleece, which reduces pilling around stitch perforations over time. For vinyl and HTV, the hip and thigh panel presses name and number runs cleanly at a firm, controlled-temperature press. For DTG, the 50% cotton holds pre-treat, but the tubular pant leg is difficult to lay flat on a platen, making DTF and screen the more practical routes on a fleece bottom. Water-based and discharge inks are not reliable here because the 50% polyester content will not discharge and returns only a faded tonal result. Sport Grey is 50/50 cotton/poly at the same ratio as the solids, so the underbase and cure requirements are consistent across the entire colour range on this style.

| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | the transfer bonds to the 50/50 Heavy Blend fleece face at standard heat settings; the most practical route on a pant for a hip logo or leg-length name and number run, pressed firmly so the film seats into the brushed nap, laid clear of the waistband |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | load a single leg onto a sleeve or leg platen to print flat; poly-blocking underbase required on Black and Navy and all dark colours; lay a slightly thicker ink deposit so the brushed nap does not show through; cure at moderate-to-low temperature |
| Embroidery | ✓ | the 8 oz Heavy Blend fleece holds a hip or thigh design at moderate stitch density over a cut-away backing; the air-jet yarn face is smoother than basic open-end fleece, reducing pilling around stitch perforations |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | the hip and thigh panel presses name and number runs cleanly at a firm, controlled-temperature press so the vinyl seats into the nap |
| DTG | ✓ | the 50% cotton holds pre-treat, but the tubular pant leg is difficult to lay flat on a DTG platen; DTF or screen printing are the more practical routes for fleece bottoms |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✗ | the 50% polyester content will not discharge and returns only a faded tonal result; water-based and discharge inks are not reliable on this 50/50 fleece |
| Sublimation | ✗ | the cotton content and dyed coloured fleece make the G184 unsuitable as a sublimation substrate |

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Solid colours (Black, Navy, Red, Purple, Royal, Maroon) | 50/50 cotton/polyester Heavy Blend fleece | Standard poly-blocking underbase required on dark grounds; DTF presses clean on hip and thigh panel at standard heat settings |
| Sport Grey | 50/50 cotton/polyester Heavy Blend fleece | Sport Grey is 50/50 at the same ratio as the solids on this sweatpant style; underbase and cure requirements are consistent across the colour range |
| Ash, Charcoal | 50/50 cotton/polyester Heavy Blend fleece (heather) | A standard poly-block underbase covers the heathered cross-dye look; DTF is the most forgiving route across lighter and heathered shades |
