The Gildan 18000 (G180) is an 8.0 oz, 50/50 cotton-polyester fleece crewneck with a classic, generous cut through the chest and body. It uses preshrunk, pill-resistant air-jet yarn and takes screen print, embroidery, DTG, DTF, heat transfer and vinyl, which is why it is a standard blank for teams, schools and company runs. It is the pullover sibling of the 18500 hoodie, so it shares that fabric and fit but skips the hood and pocket. Owners rate it highly for a blank: sturdy, warm and holding up to washing, though the boxy fit and lighter-than-premium feel are the usual complaints.

Buyers rate the 18000 highly as a workhorse blank: warm, durable and consistent from order to order. The recurring complaints are the boxy fit and a hand that is coarser than premium fleece.
The Gildan 18000 (also listed as G180) is a crewneck sweatshirt made from 8.0 oz, 50/50 cotton/polyester fleece. The fleece is made with air jet yarn for a soft, smooth, pill-resistant face. It is the pullover crewneck counterpart to the Gildan 18500 hoodie and has no hood and no pocket, which leaves a clean front panel.
It has a ribbed crewneck, 1x1 athletic rib cuffs and a rib waistband with spandex for shape retention. Seams are double-needle stitched throughout. The fabric is preshrunk and resists shrinking and pilling. The fit is classic and generous through the chest and body, and sizing down gives a slimmer look.
It ships blank and undecorated with a tear-away label for easy relabeling. The smooth fleece face suits DTF transfers, screen printing, embroidery, DTG, heat transfer and vinyl.
