Engineered for Maximum Softness

We’ve focused on the technical details to ensure this sweatshirt feels as good as it looks:

• Optimal Fabric Weight: The 8.0 oz./yd² midweight fleece provides the perfect amount of insulation for any season.

For creators and decorators, the Gildan Heavy Blend is an industry favorite for Direct-to-Film (DTF) customization.

• Ready to Press: The smooth, low-lint surface of the air jet yarn allows DTF adhesives to bond securely for a permanent finish.
