The Buyer's Guide

Gildan G185

Adult Heavy Blend 50/50 Hooded Sweatshirt

The workhorse of the wholesale hoodie market. At 8 oz. with a 50/50 cotton-poly blend, the G185 is heavier than most budget hoodies — which is exactly why it feels substantial in hand and holds up well over time. Air-jet yarn gives it a softer feel than the weight suggests. The go-to for event tees, school programs, and any buyer who needs consistent quality at volume pricing.

Port & Company PC78H

Core Fleece Pullover Hooded Sweatshirt

If there's one hoodie that appears in more bulk orders than any other at Bulkthreads, it's the PC78H. It's an 8 oz. fleece with a pill-resistant finish, double-lined hood, and a pouch pocket — built to take decoration well and hold its shape through frequent washing. Matched by the PC78Q quarter-zip and the PC78YQ youth version for programs that need a consistent fleece family.

Jerzees 993M

NuBlend Fleece Pullover Hood

Jerzees' NuBlend fabric is one of the most distinctive in the fleece category — a proprietary poly-cotton blend that resists pilling, holds color exceptionally well through repeated washing, and produces a consistent surface for screen printing. The 993M is the hoodie version of that formula, and it's been a fixture in high-volume decoration programs for decades. Underrated and consistently reliable.

Port & Company PC78Q

Core Fleece 1/4-Zip Pullover Sweatshirt

Built on the same Core Fleece fabric as the bestselling PC78H hoodie, the PC78Q gives buyers an easy way to add a quarter-zip to a uniform or merch program that already includes the pullover. Same weight, same pill-resistant finish, same consistent sizing — making it the natural companion piece for any PC78H program. One of the best-priced quarter-zips in wholesale with a left-chest embroidery placement that decorates cleanly.

Sport-Tek ST850

Sport-Wick Stretch 1/2-Zip Pullover

The ST850 is what happens when you take moisture-wicking performance fabric and give it a half-zip silhouette — the result is a layering piece that works equally well in a gym, on a trail, or as a polished corporate layering piece. The 4-way stretch construction moves with the wearer, and the Sport-Wick technology keeps sweat from accumulating during active use. A strong performer for athletic programs, corporate wellness, and coaching staff uniforms.

Gildan G800

Adult 50/50 Poly-Cotton T-Shirt

The G800 is Gildan's 50/50 answer to the all-cotton G500 — same accessible price tier, but with a poly-cotton blend that resists shrinking better and holds color through more wash cycles. The semi-fitted cut and tagless collar make it a practical choice for event programs and promotional runs where comfort and consistency matter. One of the most reliable high-volume tees in the Bulkthreads catalog.

Port & Company PC55P

Core Blend Pocket Tee

The pocket tee is having a moment in wholesale — and the PC55P is the most practical version of it. Built on Port & Company's Core Blend 50/50 fabric with a left-chest pocket, it's a clean, versatile style that works for workwear, casual uniforms, and promotional programs alike. The pocket gives buyers a secondary decoration placement that most standard tees don't offer, making it a useful tool for branded programs with multiple logo requirements.

Sport-Tek ST400LS

PosiCharge Long Sleeve Tri-Blend Wicking Raglan Tee

A long-sleeve raglan in a tri-blend moisture-wicking fabric — this is the performance tee for buyers who want something more distinctive than a standard long-sleeve. The raglan cut adds a baseball-style contrast sleeve option, the triblend gives it a soft, heathered hand, and the PosiCharge technology keeps colors vibrant through repeated washing. Strong for athletic programs, spirit wear, and any buyer who needs a long-sleeve that stands out from the standard options.

Gildan G880

Adult 50/50 Jersey Polo

The G880 is the entry point for wholesale polos — a 6 oz. 50/50 jersey knit with a flat knit collar and a clean, professional appearance. It's not the most premium polo in the category, but it's the most practical for high-quantity programs where consistent sizing, easy care, and accessible pricing matter most. The moisture-wicking construction makes it appropriate for outdoor and active environments as well as standard office and retail uniform programs.

It's become one of the most popular athletic staff and coaching polos in the wholesale market because it looks polished in a team setting without the premium price of the upper-tier performance brands.

Ladies' Ideal Racerback Tank

One of the best-selling women's blanks in the wholesale market at any price point. The N1533 is a 3.5 oz. microblend of cotton and polyester that drapes softly, fits true to size, and produces excellent results for both screen printing and DTG decoration. The racerback cut makes it a natural for athletic and yoga programs, but the clean silhouette and soft hand mean it works just as well for lifestyle brands and casual merch. At this price, it's an easy first order for any new women's program.

Heavyweight Sherpa-Lined Hooded Fleece Jacket

CornerStone J763H

Duck Cloth Hooded Work Jacket

Duck cloth is one of the most durable woven fabrics used in workwear — a tightly woven cotton canvas that resists abrasion, holds its shape, and gets better with age. The J763H takes that fabric and builds a full hooded work jacket around it: reinforced seams, a quilted body lining for warmth, multiple pocket placements, and a build quality that's noticeably heavier than standard wholesale outerwear. The right jacket for tradespeople, outdoor crews, and any buyer whose workers actually work in their clothes.

A natural fit for retail stores, trade shows, event giveaways, grocery and specialty food businesses, and any program where a reusable bag doubles as a walking advertisement.
