Unisex Heavy Blend™ Crewneck Sweatshirt

Meet the Unisex Heavy Blend™ Crewneck Sweatshirt, the Gildan 18000 workhorse that pairs everyday comfort with print-ready performance. Crafted from a durable 50/50 cotton-polyester blend, this medium-heavy 8.0 oz/yd² sweatshirt balances softness with resilience, making it ideal for custom designs, team gear, or everyday wear.

Why this sweatshirt stands out

• Print-friendly surface: The smooth knit surface provides crisp, vibrant prints and embroidery, so your logos stay sharp wash after wash.
• Reliable construction: Double-needle stitching at the shoulders, armholes, neck, waistband, and cuffs keeps the silhouette intact through countless wears and launderings.
• All-day comfort: A seamless body design minimizes irritation, while the classic crew neckline and relaxed fit offer a clean, versatile look for any outfit.
• Label comfort: A gray, pearlized tear-away label reduces itch and skin irritation for a smoother feel.
• Ethical and safe: Made from ethically grown US cotton and backed by the US Cotton Trust Protocol, with OEKO-TEX certified dyes to meet safety and environmental standards.

Customization options that empower your message

Embroidery is available on multiple placements to suit your branding needs: left chest, center chest, large center chest, as well as right and left wrists. Whether you’re outfitting a sports team, corporate event, or school club, this sweatshirt serves as a dependable canvas for your design, mustering a polished, professional finish that lasts.

Durability meets everyday practicality

• Fabric blends: Standard colors use a 50/50 cotton-poly blend for easy care and lasting printability; Heather Sport colors feature a 60% polyester, 40% cotton mix for a soft feel with added durability in busy environments.
• Size and shape retention: The crewneck silhouette and reinforced cuffs help maintain shape, even after repeated wear and washing distributions.
• Care guidance: Machine wash cold (max 30°C/90°F), non-chlorine bleach as needed, tumble dry low, and avoid dry cleaning to preserve color and print integrity.

Color notes and care considerations

Color variants may display slight differences in tone: the White option may appear off-white, while the Orange variant can show subtle hue shifts under different lighting. These nuances are normal with this fabric blend and dye system, and they don’t affect performance or durability.

Sustainability, safety, and warranty

Designed with responsibly sourced materials, the sweatshirt leverages ethically grown US cotton and is protected by standards that emphasize durability and consumer safety. It carries a two-year warranty in the EU and Northern Ireland per Directive 1999/44/EC. Each piece is manufactured in Nicaragua, with care instructions tailored to maximize longevity and print fidelity.
