For school programs, youth sports teams, spirit wear orders, and embroidery or screen-printing programs that need to ship adult and youth sizes on a single artwork setup, the 18000B keeps the fabric, fit, and decoration prep consistent across the whole order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Heavy Blend fleece behind the 18000B has been remastered with MVS Air spinning technology that uses finer yarns to reduce pilling, improve durability, and produce a smoother printing surface than older Heavy Blend constructions. Pilling matters more for youth garments than adult ones because kids put more wear and washing into a sweatshirt over a season, and a fleece that pills out by month three undermines a program built to last a school year. The MVS Air-spun construction holds up better through that cycle, and the smoother surface means screen prints land cleanly with sharper edges than a coarser fleece would deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic crewneck cut keeps the silhouette simple and works across the wide range of body shapes and ages in a single program order. Practical youth-program details: the 1x1 rib collar, cuffs, and waistband with spandex hold their shape through repeated wear and wash without stretching out the way a flat hem can on a kids' sweatshirt; the recycled tear-away label removes cleanly for school relabeling programs; and every 18000B ships with a CPSIA tracking label that keeps youth-program buyers in compliance with consumer product safety reporting requirements without any extra paperwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in XS through XL with a versatile color range. For matching adult\/youth program orders, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gildan-heavy-blend-crewneck-sweatshirt-18000\"\u003eGildan 18000 Heavy Blend Crewneck\u003c\/a\u003e is the adult version in the same fabric. For the matching youth pullover hoodie in the same Heavy Blend family, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gildan-g185b-youth-hoodie\"\u003eGildan G185B Youth Heavy Blend Hood\u003c\/a\u003e covers the hooded silhouette, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/18600b\"\u003eGildan 18600B Youth Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hood\u003c\/a\u003e covers the full-zip silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs the 18000B the same fabric as the adult 18000?\u003c\/em\u003e Yes. Both are 8-ounce 50\/50 cotton\/polyester Heavy Blend fleece in a 20-singles construction with the same MVS Air spinning technology. That's the point of running youth and adult sizes in the same family: a single artwork setup carries cleanly across both pages, and decoration prep stays identical. The youth version uses the youth size grading (shorter body length, narrower chest) but everything else about the fabric, decoration surface, and color matching is identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is CPSIA tracking label compliance?\u003c\/em\u003e CPSIA is the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which requires permanent tracking labels on children's apparel sold in the U.S. The 18000B's tracking label includes the manufacturer information, production location, and date code that CPSIA requires, so youth-program buyers don't need to add separate compliance documentation when ordering for schools, camps, or other regulated channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat's the best decoration method for the 18000B?\u003c\/em\u003e Screen printing is the most common approach for school and team programs, and the smoother MVS Air-spun surface holds plastisol ink cleanly. Embroidery is the standard for school spirit wear and lands cleanly on the left chest. DTF heat transfer covers full-color logos and small-run programs where screen setup costs would be hard to justify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat sizes are available?\u003c\/em\u003e Sizes XS through XL. Body length runs 19.75 inches (XS) through 25.5 inches (XL); chest width runs 16 inches (XS) through 20 inches (XL), measured laid flat with a +\/-1 inch tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gildan","offers":[{"title":"XS \/ Black","offer_id":46518796943550,"sku":"B33060502","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XS \/ Dark
