Gildan 18000 crewneck vs. Gildan 18500 hoodie

Same fleece, different neckline. The 18000 (G180) is the crewneck: no hood, no pocket, a clean full-front canvas that's a favorite for large screen-print and embroidery jobs. The 18500 (G185) is the pullover hood — same 8.0 oz 50/50 pill-resistant fleece, plus a double-lined hood and front pouch pocket for extra warmth and a streetwear look. Pick the crew for a flatter print area and lower price, the hoodie for the hood.

Frequently asked questions

Is it true to size? Yes, with a classic, generous cut through the chest and body. Size down for a slimmer look.

Can you DTF, screen print, and embroider on it? Yes — the smooth fleece is a strong base for DTF transfers, screen printing, embroidery, DTG, heat transfer, and vinyl.

What's the minimum order? None. Order a single sweatshirt or full cases; bulk pricing improves as quantity increases.

Is this a blank/wholesale crewneck? Yes — it ships blank and undecorated with a tear-away label, priced for wholesale and resale.
