Heavy Blend Performance and Comfort
The Gildan 18500 Heavy Blend Adult Hooded Sweatshirt is engineered for thermal efficiency and long-term wear. Utilizing an 8 oz. poly-cotton blend, this hoodie balances warmth with breathability, making it ideal for seasonal layering during cooler months.
Durability for Customization and DTF Transfers
Designed with Direct to Film (DTF) and screen printing in mind, the smooth surface of the air-jet yarn reduces pilling and provides a stable substrate for high-quality heat transfers. The double-needle stitching at the waistband and cuffs ensures the garment maintains its structural integrity through repeated wash cycles, a critical factor for print-on-demand businesses.
Functional Design Elements
The sweatshirt features a double-lined hood for added insulation and a color-matched drawstring for a cohesive aesthetic. The spacious front pouch pocket offers utility for storage or hand-warming, while the blend of fibers ensures a softer feel against the skin compared to standard industrial fleece.
