Description
The Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend is a classic-fit crewneck sweatshirt with 8 oz./yd² cotton/polyester fabric. It offers a hood-free alternative to the Gildan 18500 pullover hoodie. Check the heather exceptions before selecting a shade for a printed order: those colors use a different fiber balance from the base 50/50 blend.

Buying questions
How should I choose the fit?
Compare the size chart’s laid-flat chest width, body length and sleeve length with a sweatshirt you already own. Use the garment measurements rather than assuming another brand’s letter size will match.
Is a heather shade the same fabric as a solid?
Not always. The named heathers above use 60/40 polyester/cotton. Confirm that shade’s blend with your decorator and approve the print result on the actual garment color before a group run.

Choosing a green or royal blue crewneck
- Green: Compare Fan Dark Green with Heather Dark Green using each shade’s own photos. The heather option has a textured color appearance and uses the 60/40 polyester/cotton blend listed above.
- Royal blue: Compare Royal, Fan Deep Royal and Heather Deep Royal. These are separate catalog shades, so keep the exact color name when coordinating a group order. Heather Deep Royal uses the 60/40 polyester/cotton blend listed above.
- Before ordering: Review the selected color’s available sizes and size chart. For a close color match or custom print run, check a sample of the actual shade with your decorator before placing a larger order.
