Material & Quality Details

The Gildan Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt is engineered from a premium 8.0 oz./yd² midweight fleece matrix composed of a 50% cotton and 50% polyester blend, offering an exceptional balance of cozy softness and rugged structural integrity. The outer face features a high-density, low-lint knit that actively minimizes surface fuzz and pilling, providing a stable, uniform canvas for detailed screen printing, team graphics, heat transfers, and custom embroidery. The interior features a plush, brushed fleece texture that delivers efficient thermal insulation for reliable everyday warmth without feeling heavy. Performance-driven variations include the Heather Sport colors, which utilize a 60% polyester and 40% cotton composition for enhanced moisture management and a sporty, texturized look.

Built for structural longevity and user convenience, the garment features an integrated double-lined hood outfitted with a robust, color-matched drawcord for customizable coverage. The durable construction helps reduce wear over time, allowing for easy-care performance that endures regular machine washing while maintaining its soft feel and rich texture. Grounded in ecological responsibility, the production process utilizes OEKO-TEX® certified low-impact dyes and proudly supports sustainable farming practices through membership in the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol. It is finished with a convenient tear-away label that eliminates localized neck irritation while facilitating effortless private-label rebranding for businesses, clubs, and retail lines.
