Gildan Heavy Blend™ Hooded Sweatshirt - FAQ

What is air jet yarn, and how does it benefit the Gildan Heavy Blend™ Hooded Sweatshirt?

Air jet yarn is used in the GD57 sweatshirt to provide a much softer feel against the skin while significantly reducing pilling (the bobbling of fibres). This ensures your hoodie looks newer and feels comfortable for longer.

Can I get this Gildan GD57 hoodie customised with my own logo or design?

Yes, the 50% cotton and 50% polyester blend makes it ideal for both printing and embroidery. We do not customise the garments ourselves, but we work with trusted partners.

What is the fit and style of the Gildan Heavy Blend™ Hooded Sweatshirt?

This hoodie features a classic fit with a drop shoulder style, offering a relaxed and comfortable silhouette. It also includes a tubular body construction, a double-lined hood with a self-colour drawcord, and ribbed cuffs and hem with spandex for shape retention.
