The Gildan 18500 Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt is a heavyweight fleece pullover built to handle everyday wear while giving screen printers and embroiderers a clean, stable canvas to work with. It's a long-time staple for teams, schools, and businesses that need a hoodie that looks good on day one and still holds up after a season of washes.
The fleece is an 8 oz/yd² 50/50 cotton-polyester blend (select shades run 60/40 poly/cotton), knit from a finer, high-quality face yarn that resists pilling and takes ink or thread cleanly. A double-lined hood with a matching drawcord, ribbed 1x1 cuffs and waistband with added spandex for stretch and recovery, and a roomy front pouch pocket round out the construction, so the fit stays comfortable through repeated wear.
With sizing from S through 5XL and a wide color range, this hoodie scales easily from a one-off custom order to a full team or event run, making it one of the most dependable blanks in the Power Print lineup.
