Product notes
More details
Material & Weight
The Gildan 18500 uses a 50/50 cotton-polyester blend at 8.0 oz, placing it in the heavyweight hoodie tier. The blend keeps cotton and polyester in equal proportions while maintaining enough cotton content for DTG ink absorption. Open-end yarn produces a coarser, more textured fabric surface than ring-spun alternatives.
Construction & Fit
Tubular construction means the fabric is knit in a continuous tube rather than cut and sewn at the sides. This can affect side alignment compared with side-seamed alternatives. The classic fit provides a relaxed, generous silhouette compared to retail-fit alternatives. The hooded neckline with drawcord and front pouch pocket follow standard hoodie construction. Tear-away label allows custom branding.
