Gildan's fleece catalog is built around one core principle: consistent, decoration-ready construction at a price point that makes high-volume runs practical. The lineup covers every major fleece style, pullover hoodies, full-zip hoodies, crewnecks, and youth sizes, all built on the same reliable Heavy Blend fabric that decorators have ordered for years.
The G185 Heavy Blend Hooded Sweatshirt is the anchor of the collection: the G185 (G18500) is an 8 oz. 50/50 cotton-poly pullover with a pill-resistant surface, double-lined hood, and set-in sleeves. Since it's available across basic, traditional, and extended color groupings, it's one of the more widely ordered pullover fleece blanks in the wholesale market for screen printing, embroidery, and events. The matching G185B Youth Hoodie uses the same approach in youth sizes XS–XL, making it easy to combine adult and youth sizes together in a single decoration run.
The G18600 Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt brings the same 8 oz. 50/50 construction into a full-zip silhouette, making it practical for programs where wearers need to put the jacket on and take it off without disrupting a printed or embroidered design. The front panels on either side of the zipper provide additional decoration placement options that a pullover doesn't offer. A strong choice for coaching staff, volunteer programs, and any uniform application where a zip-front is preferred over a pullover.
The G18000 Heavy Blend Fleece Crewneck is the crewneck counterpart to the G185 — same 8 oz. 50/50 fabric, same pill-resistant finish, and the same broad color availability. For programs that want a matching fleece family across both hooded and crewneck styles, the G185 and G180 pair naturally. The center-front and left-chest decoration placements both work cleanly on the G180's smooth surface, and the lack of a hood makes it a practical choice for food service and safety environments where hoods can be a concern. For youth sizes, the G18000B Youth Heavy Blend Crewneck mirrors the adult construction in youth sizing.
The SF000 Softstyle Fleece Crewneck offers a noticeably softer hand than the Heavy Blend line, using Gildan's ring-spun Softstyle fabrication in a fleece weight. It's the right pick for buyers who want Gildan's value pricing but need a softer, more retail-quality feel — lifestyle brands, boutique retail, and merch programs where end-customer comfort is a priority alongside cost.
