Description
The Gildan Kids Heavy Blend™ Drop Shoulder Sweatshirt (GD56B) is a durable and comfortable choice for children's schoolwear, sportswear, and custom branding. Crafted from a heavy blend fabric, it utilises air jet yarn which provides a softer feel and significantly reduces pilling, ensuring the garment maintains its quality appearance even after multiple washes.
This classic fit sweatshirt is designed with a drop shoulder style for a relaxed, comfortable fit. It features a tubular body construction, eliminating side seams for a cleaner finish and enhanced comfort. The ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem are blended with spandex to help retain their shape and elasticity over time. Additionally, twin needle stitching throughout provides extra durability at key stress points.
For businesses, schools, and clothing brands, the GD56B includes a convenient tear-out label, making it straightforward to rebrand with custom neck labels. The smooth fabric surface is highly suitable for screen printing, embroidery, and DTG (direct-to-garment) printing.
