How does the Heavy Blend hoodie fit?

It has a classic fit that is roomy through the body and sleeves. Many owners say it runs large, so consider sizing down if you want a closer fit.

What is the fabric weight and blend?

It is an 8 oz 50/50 cotton-polyester fleece. The blend resists shrinking and holds warmth well.

Does it pill after washing?

Less than older blends, thanks to the finer MVS Air yarns. Some surface wear still shows over time with heavy use.

Can it be printed or embroidered?

Yes. The smooth low-pill face is made for screen printing, heat transfer and embroidery, which is why blank-apparel buyers favor it.

Is the hood double-lined?

Yes, the hood is double-lined and comes with a color-matched drawcord.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Turn it inside out to protect any print and reduce surface wear.

Our take on the Gildan Adult's Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt

The Gildan Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt is a classic-fit pullover made from an 8 oz 50/50 cotton-polyester fleece. It has a double-lined hood with a color-matched drawcord, a front pouch pocket and a tear-away label. The fabric uses finer MVS Air yarns to cut pilling and keep a smooth surface for printing. It is a basic, hard-wearing layer that suits workwear, layering and blank-apparel printing, and it costs far less than branded fleece while reviewers say it feels heavier and warmer than thin fashion hoodies.
