How does it fit compared with other hoodies?

It has a regular, boxy cut that most buyers find runs large. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It is a mid-weight fleece, good for fall and mild winter days over a tee. In hard cold you will want a shell or a heavier layer.

Does it shrink after washing?

The cotton blend can shrink slightly, mostly in length. Wash cold and tumble low to limit it.

Can it be printed or embroidered?

Yes. It is a common blank for screen printing, vinyl and embroidery, and the smooth fleece takes them well.

Our take on the Gildan Heavy Blend Fleece Full Zip Hoodie Jacket

The Gildan Heavy Blend Full Zip Hoodie is a plain, budget-minded fleece jacket with a drawstring hood, two front pockets and rib knit cuffs and hem. It uses Gildan's Heavy Blend cotton-poly fleece, which is thicker than the brand's lighter Softstyle line and holds up to repeated washing. It suits people who want a cheap, no-logo layer for cool weather, work or printing. Against name-brand fleece it is boxier and less soft, but it costs far less and is a favorite blank for custom printing.
