Unisex Heavy Blend™ Crewneck Sweatshirt

The Unisex Heavy Blend™ Crewneck Sweatshirt from Gildan 18000 blends everyday comfort with durable, print-ready performance—making it the reliable canvas for brands, teams, schools, and event merch that lasts.

Crafted from a balanced 50/50 cotton-polyester blend, this medium-heavy knit weighs 8.0 oz/yd² (271 g/m²). It delivers cozy warmth without bulk and holds up to repeated washing. The smooth surface provides crisp, vibrant prints and embroidery, so logos, names, and artwork stay sharp wash after wash.

Built for comfort and lasting wear

A ribbed-knit collar, reinforced cuffs, and double-needle stitching at the shoulder, armhole, neck, waistband, and cuffs keep the sweatshirt’s shape through daily use. The seamless body design minimizes irritation, delivering a smooth, comfortable feel whether you’re lounging, layering, or on the move.

Customization made easy

Maximize impact with embroidery on multiple placements: left chest, center chest, or large center chest, plus options on the right and left wrists. This flexibility makes it easy to design distinctive team gear, school spirit wear, corporate branding, or event merchandise that stands out.

Ethical, safe, and print-friendly fabrics

Ethically grown US cotton backs the fabric, aligned with the US Cotton Trust Protocol. Dyes used are OEKO-TEX certified, prioritizing safety and environmental responsibility. Note that Heather Sport colors use a 60/40 polyester/cotton blend for a lighter, sport-ready feel, and color variants such as white may read as off-white in certain lighting. Some Orange variants may show a subtle hue shift under different lights.

Care and performance tips
