About the SF008
The Gildan SF008 is the quarter-zip in Gildan's Softstyle Midweight Fleece line, a more refined fleece program with an 8.4-ounce ring-spun cotton/polyester construction that sits between a lightweight performance pullover and a heavier athletic fleece. The brushed fleece interior keeps it soft against the skin, and the 100% ring-spun cotton face gives decorators a smooth surface for screen printing, DTG, DTF, and embroidery without the rougher texture you get on a heavier 50/50 fleece.
The quarter-zip placket adds a clean, modern detail that elevates the silhouette beyond a plain crewneck pullover, which makes it a useful pick for casual corporate programs, school spirit wear, team warm-ups, and custom merchandise where the brief asks for a little more polish than a standard hoodie. The 1x1 rib varsity collar, cuffs, and bottom band keep the shape clean through repeated wear, and the reverse coil color-matched locking zipper gives the front a tidy finish that holds its position when you set it partway down. There's an 18-inch span from the bottom of the zipper to the waistband on size Large, which is worth knowing if you're planning a chest decoration: it gives you room to land a 4- to 6-inch left-chest embroidery comfortably above the placket end.
Available in sizes Small through 3XL with a versatile color range. For the matching crewneck pullover in the same Softstyle Midweight Fleece family, check out the Gildan SF000 Softstyle Midweight Fleece Crew. For the matching pullover hoodie, the Gildan SF500 Softstyle Midweight Fleece Hood is the same fabric construction in a hooded silhouette. For a heavier, more budget-friendly fleece option in a similar layering role, the Gildan 18500 Heavy Blend Hood covers the high-volume side of the fleece category at a lower per-unit cost.
FAQ
How does the SF008 compare to the Gildan Heavy Blend 1/4-zip? The SF008 uses Gildan's Softstyle Midweight Fleece, which has a brushed interior and a 100% ring-spun cotton face for a softer hand and a smoother decoration surface. The Heavy Blend family is a heavier 50/50 cotton/polyester fleece built more for athletic and budget-volume use. For programs where end-customer comfort and a more retail-quality feel matter, the SF008 is the better choice. For high-volume runs where the lowest unit price wins, Heavy Blend is usually the more practical pick.
Is the SF008 good for embroidery? Yes. The 100% ring-spun cotton face holds stitching cleanly, and a left chest placement above the quarter-zip placket is the standard approach. The 18-inch span from zipper bottom to waistband on size Large gives you enough room to land a 4- to 6-inch logo without crowding either the placket or the bottom band.
Can I screen print on the SF008? Yes. The 100% ring-spun cotton face takes plastisol and water-based inks cleanly. For darker shades that include polyester content beneath the cotton face (the 75/25 Sport Grey colorway in particular), use a low-bleed plastisol or a poly-friendly underbase to prevent dye migration on light prints.
What sizes are available? Sizes Small through 3XL. Body length runs 28 inches (S) through 33 inches (3XL); chest width runs 20 inches (S) through 30 inches (3XL), measured laid flat with a +/-1 inch tolerance.
