Gildan Kids Heavy Blend™ Hooded Sweatshirt - FAQ
What is air jet yarn, and how does it benefit the Gildan Kids Heavy Blend™ Hooded Sweatshirt?
Air jet yarn is a specialised manufacturing process that spins fibres to create a much softer feel against the skin while significantly reducing pilling (the formation of small fabric bobbles). This ensures the sweatshirt remains comfortable and looks smart even after repeated washes.
Can I customise this hoodie with a school, team, or club logo?
Yes, the 50% cotton and 50% polyester blend provides an excellent surface for both printing and embroidery. We do not customise the garments ourselves, but we work with trusted partners.
Does the hood on this children's sweatshirt have a drawstring?
No, the double-lined hood on the GD57B does not feature a drawcord. This is in strict compliance with UK and EU safety regulations for children's apparel to prevent any potential hazards.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for rebranding alongside other items like T-Shirts?
Absolutely. The GD57B features a convenient tear-out label, making it incredibly easy to add your own branding. It coordinates perfectly with our range of kids' T-Shirts to help you build a cohesive custom clothing line.
