  • Our take on the Gildan Youth Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt

    The Gildan 18500B is the standard blank youth hooded sweatshirt, cut in a classic fit from 8 oz/yd² 50/50 cotton-polyester fleece. It has a double-lined hood with no drawcord, a pouch pocket, 1x1 rib cuffs and hem with spandex, and a tear-away label. It suits screen printers, embroiderers and teams that need a durable, printable kids' hoodie in bulk. Against softer ring-spun blanks it feels heavier and coarser, but it holds shape and print well and is the reference point most decorators compare youth hoodies to.

    About the Gildan Youth Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt

    The Gildan Youth Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt (style 18500B) is a classic-fit hoodie made for children's sizes. It is made from an 8 oz/yd², 50/50 cotton/polyester fabric. A finer face yarn gives a smoother surface for printing and reduces pilling.

    The hood is double-lined and has no drawcord, which is the construction required for children's sizes under 16 CFR 1120.3. The cuffs and hem use 1x1 rib with spandex for stretch and recovery. A pouch pocket sits at the front, and the label tears away.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Gildan 18500B good for screen printing?
    Yes. The 50/50 face is smooth and holds plastisol and water-based inks well. Decorators commonly use it as a budget-friendly youth blank.
    Does the hood have a drawstring?
    No. The hood is double-lined but has no drawcord, which is the required construction for children's sizes.
    How does it compare with the Gildan 18000?
    The 18000 is the adult version of the same Heavy Blend hoodie. The 18500B uses the same fabric and features in youth sizing.
    What sizes does it come in?
    Youth XS through XL. The classic fit runs roomy, so many buyers size down for a closer fit.
    Is it CPSIA compliant?
    Gildan lists this style as CPSIA tracking label compliant. Decorated children's apparel still needs its own tracking and testing by the decorator.
    What is the fabric content?
    8 oz/yd², 50/50 cotton and polyester, 20 singles, with a finer face yarn for printing.
