The Gildan 18500 Hooded Sweatshirt is a durable adult blank hoodie designed for DTF printing and all major print methods. With a fabric weight of 8 oz/yd² (US) – 13.5 oz/L yd (CA), it is made from a 50/50 cotton and polyester blend with a 20 singles yarn structure, offering warmth, comfort, and long-lasting everyday wear. Part of the Gildan® Heavy Blend collection, this hoodie is produced using finer yarns and advanced MVS Air spinning technology, which helps reduce pilling, enhances durability, and creates a smoother surface for high-quality printing results. Its classic fit delivers a timeless silhouette, while the double-lined hood with color-matched drawcord provides added warmth and durability. The 1x1 rib cuffs and waistband with spandex offer enhanced stretch, shape retention, and recovery, and the front pouch pocket adds practicality and comfort. The tear away label allows for easy private labeling and custom branding. Gildan is a proud member of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol and uses OEKO-TEX® certified low-impact dyes to support responsible and sustainable manufacturing. This product is shipped blank and is an excellent choice for professional DTF printing, custom apparel, and bulk production projects.
