Is the Gildan G180 good for screen printing?

Yes. The 50/50 fleece has a smooth surface that takes screen print, embroidery, DTF, and DTG well, and buyers report clean results.

How does the G180 compare to the Gildan 18000?

The G180 is built on the same 8 oz. Heavy Blend 50/50 fleece as the 18000, so weight, structure, and decoration performance are essentially the same.

Does the G180 shrink?

The cotton/poly blend resists shrinking, but some shrinkage can occur after the first wash. Buyers generally find sizing stays consistent.

What sizes does the G180 come in?

The G180 is available in a range of sizes, though availability can vary by color. Check the size options listed for each color.

It is not as soft as ring-spun or premium fleece. The fabric feels sturdy at first and softens with washing, according to reviewers.

About the Gildan G180 Heavy Blend 50/50 Crewneck Sweatshirt

The Gildan G180 is a crewneck sweatshirt made from 8 oz., 50/50 cotton/polyester Heavy Blend fleece. Heather colors are approximately 60/40. It has a classic unisex fit with set-in sleeves.

The body is seamless, so there is no center seam running through a chest print. Double-needle stitching is used throughout, including at the sleeves and bottom hem. The collar, cuffs and waistband are 1x1 rib knit with spandex to help them hold their shape.

The cotton adds breathability and takes dye well. The polyester adds structural stability and reduces shrinkage. It is a blank garment with a tear-away label, intended for decoration by screen printing (plastisol and water-based), embroidery, DTF and DTG.
