Gildan G185 Heavy Blend Hoodie vs Tultex 320 Fleece Hoodie
Both are blank, decoration-ready fleece hoodies, and the choice comes down to fabric and finish. The Gildan G185 is the heavier, sturdier workhorse at 8 oz. 50/50 with air jet yarn, double-needle stitching and a double-lined hood, and buyers report it prints cleanly and holds shape through repeated washing. The Tultex 320 is lighter at 7.5 oz. with an 80/20 ringspun cotton-rich face, a jersey-lined hood and reactive-dyed color, so it feels softer and more retail-like out of the bag. Pick Gildan for volume print jobs and durability; pick Tultex for a softer, more premium hand feel.
- Choose the Gildan G185 if you need a durable, heavy blank for screen printing or embroidery in volume and want predictable fit and reorders.
- Choose the Tultex 320 if you want a softer, cotton-rich ringspun hoodie with a jersey-lined hood and better color retention for retail-style wear.
