Wholesale sweatpants and joggers break into two categories with different use cases: classic open-bottom sweatpants built for high-volume decorating and budget-conscious programs, and tapered joggers built for lifestyle brands, merch drops, and programs where the cut matters as much as the blank. Bulkthreads carries both, across a range of brands and price points.
For high-volume programs where cost per unit is the primary concern, the Gildan G182 Adult Sweatpants and the open-bottom G184 are a practical starting point — 8 oz. 50/50 fleece that pairs directly with Gildan's hoodie and crewneck lineup for matching sets. Youth sizing is covered by the G182B Youth Sweatpants. Jerzees offers two solid alternatives: the 973 NuBlend Fleece Sweatpants and the heavier 4850P Super Sweats Pocketed Sweatpants at 9.5 oz. — the heaviest standard sweatpant in this collection. The Port & Company PC78P Core Fleece Sweatpant is a step up in construction with a cleaner finish and side pockets.
Port & Company's PC78J Core Fleece Jogger and PC78YJ Youth Jogger are among the more accessible wholesale tapered joggers — a matching adult/youth set well suited for team programs and school athletics. The District DT6107 V.I.T. Fleece Jogger steps up with a more fashion-forward cut suited for lifestyle and merch programs. Sport-Tek covers the performance end with the STF204 Drive Fleece Jogger, ST233 Sport-Wick Fleece Jogger, and the woven PST95 Tricot Track Jogger — the track-style option with a smooth exterior finish. For programs that want a more technical construction, the PST871 Circuit Jogger is Sport-Tek's most tailored jogger — a technical construction with a fit that bridges athletic and lifestyle applications. Women's options include the LST299 Ladies PosiCharge Tri-Blend Jogger, LPST95 Ladies Tricot Track Jogger, and the WonderWink WW4258 Premiere Flex Jogger for medical and workwear programs. The Bella+Canvas 3727 Unisex Jogger is the premium fashion option — a retail-quality cut for boutique merch programs where the blank itself is part of the product.
Independent Trading Co. bottoms are worth calling out separately because they're specifically searched by style number and designed to coordinate with ITC's fleece tops for complete matching sets. The IND20PNT Men's Midweight Fleece Sweatpants and IND20SRT Fleece Shorts pair directly with the IND4000 heavyweight hoodie and IND3000 crewneck. The women's PRM20PNT California Wave Wash Sweatpants and PRM20SRT Wave Wash Shorts complete the women's Wave Wash set alongside the PRM2500 hoodie and PRM2000 crewneck — a fully coordinated garment-washed lineup at wholesale pricing.
All styles ship with automatic volume discounts applied at checkout, typically arrive in 1–3 business days, and come with free returns on every order. For matching fleece sets, pair any of these styles with the corresponding hoodies and crewnecks from the fleece collection.
The Gildan G182 Adult Sweatpants are one of the more practical options for screen printing at a budget price point — their 8 oz. 50/50 fleece construction takes ink consistently and the style pairs directly with Gildan's G185 hoodie and G182 crewneck for coordinated sets. The Jerzees 973 NuBlend is a comparable alternative with a slightly softer hand feel at a similar price.
A classic sweatpant typically has a straight or slightly tapered leg with an open or ribbed hem — built primarily for comfort and high-volume decoration programs where cut is less of a consideration. A jogger uses a more tapered leg with a fitted cuffed hem, producing a silhouette that reads more fashion-forward and retail-quality. For team and athletic programs where a consistent look matters, joggers like the Port & Company PC78J or Sport-Tek ST233 are a practical step up without a significant price increase.
The Bella+Canvas 3727 Unisex Jogger is the strongest option for retail-style merch programs — its construction and cut are closer to a retail purchase than a standard wholesale blank, making it well suited for programs where the blank is part of the brand. The District DT6107 V.I.T. Fleece Jogger is a practical mid-tier alternative with a fashion-forward cut at a lower price point.
Yes. The Port & Company PC78YJ Youth Core Fleece Jogger pairs directly with the adult PC78J, making it practical to outfit a full team or group in matching adult and youth jogger styles from a single brand at a consistent price.
Independent Trading Co. fleece bottoms — like the IND20PNT sweatpants and PRM20PNT Wave Wash Sweatpants — are designed specifically to coordinate with ITC's fleece tops by style number. Decorators and buyers who work with ITC hoodies and crewnecks often search for the matching bottom by model number to build a complete coordinated set. The Wave Wash line adds a garment-washed finish that pairs with ITC's PRM2500 hoodie and PRM2000 crewneck for a fully coordinated lifestyle set at wholesale pricing.
Yes. Automatic volume discounts are applied at checkout across the sweatpants and joggers collection — no codes required. The per-unit price decreases as order size grows, all styles typically arrive in 1–3 business days, and returns are free on every order.
