Wholesale Sweatpants, Joggers, Work Pants

Wholesale Sweatpants and Joggers: Fleece Bottoms for Every Program

Wholesale sweatpants and joggers break into two categories with different use cases: classic 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.

Classic Sweatpants: Gildan, Jerzees, and Port & Company

For high-volume programs where cost per unit is the primary concern, the Gildan G182 Adult Heavy Blend Sweatpants are a practical starting point. They use the same 8-ounce 50/50 cotton/polyester Heavy Blend fleece as the rest of the Gildan Heavy Blend lineup, with an elastic waistband, drawcord, and elasticized cuffs at the ankle. The open-bottom alternative is the G184, which uses the same fabric in a true open-bottom cut for buyers who prefer that silhouette. Youth sizing is covered by the G182B Youth Sweatpants. Jerzees offers two solid alternatives: the 974MP NuBlend Open-Bottom Sweatpants at 8 ounces with side-entry jersey-lined pockets, and the heavier 4850MP Super Sweats NuBlend Sweatpant at 9.5 ounces, the heaviest standard sweatpant in this collection. The Port & Company PC78P Core Fleece Sweatpant is a 7.8-ounce 50/50 fleece in an open-bottom cut with side pockets, sitting between the Gildan and Jerzees options on price.

Joggers: Tapered Fits for Lifestyle and Team Programs

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 PST95 Tricot Track Jogger, which uses a 100% polyester tricot knit with a soft-brushed backing and a smooth exterior finish for a track-style look with reverse-coil leg zippers for easy on and off. For programs that want a more technical construction, the PST871 Circuit Jogger is Sport-Tek's most tailored jogger, a 7.8-ounce 78/22 poly/spandex construction with zippered hand pockets, a secure back pocket, and ankle zips 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, an 8-ounce sponge fleece jogger in a 52/48 Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton/polyester blend with ribbed ankle cuffs and side pockets, suited for boutique merch programs where the blank itself is part of the product.

ITC Fleece Bottoms: Midweight, Pigment-Dyed, and Wave Wash

Independent Trading Co. bottoms are worth calling out separately because they are 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 use an 8.5-ounce 80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester blend with a 100% cotton face and 1x1 ribbed ankle cuffs, designed by ITC to color-match with both the IND4000 heavyweight hoodie and the SS4500 midweight hoodie. 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 to 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best wholesale sweatpant for screen printing?

The Gildan G182 (18200) Adult Heavy Blend Sweatpants are one of the more practical options for screen printing at a budget price point. The 8-ounce 50/50 fleece construction takes ink consistently and the style pairs directly with Gildan's G185 hoodie for coordinated sets. The Jerzees 974MP NuBlend is a comparable open-bottom alternative with a slightly softer hand feel at a similar price.

What is the difference between a classic sweatpant and a jogger?

A classic sweatpant typically has a straight or slightly tapered leg, with either an open hem or an elasticized cuff, 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 (either elasticized or 1x1 ribbed), 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.

What is the best wholesale jogger for lifestyle and retail merch programs?

The Bella+Canvas 3727 Unisex Jogger is the strongest option for retail-style merch programs. Its 8-ounce sponge fleece construction and retail 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.

Does Bulkthreads carry wholesale joggers in youth sizing?

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.

What are Independent Trading Co. fleece bottoms and why are they searched separately?

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. The IND20PNT is built to color-match with the IND4000 heavyweight hoodie and the SS4500 midweight hoodie. Decorators and buyers who work with ITC fleece tops 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.

Do wholesale sweatpants and joggers at Bulkthreads come with volume discounts?

Yes. Automatic volume discounts are applied at checkout across the sweatpants and joggers collection, with no codes required. The per-unit price decreases as order size grows, all styles typically arrive in 1 to 3 business days, and returns are free on every order.
