What makes the Gildan 18600 full-zip hooded sweatshirt good for bulk orders?

The Gildan 18600 hooded sweatshirt comes in all popular color options and sizes between XS and 5XL. There is also a youth-specific model with the style code 18600B. The Heavy Blend cotton-polyester fabric composition is suited for a variety of customization methods. Combining the value delivered by the style, and YouApparel’s competitive per-unit price for the G186 hoodie, it definitely is worth purchasing in bulk.

Will the Gildan 18600 hoodie shrink?

The Heavy Blend fabric composition of the Gildan 18600 combines 50% preshrunk US cotton and 50% polyester for regular colors. The polyester content is higher for heather color options. Still, the cotton content in the fabric is prone to shrinkage. The Heavy Blend fabric technology minimizes this to a considerable extent in the 18600, also enhancing pill resistance compared to regular sweatshirts. We recommend not washing or drying the G186 in high heat.

How to care for the Gildan 18600 hooded sweatshirt to make it last?

We recommend cold water washes and hang drying to keep the hoodie in good condition longer. Wash inside out if the hoodie is printed. Please check the garment’s care label for specific instructions from the manufacturer.

Is the 18600 full-zip hooded sweatshirt better compared to Hanes P180 full-zip hooded sweatshirt?

Both full-zip hoodies are in the same price segment and almost the same weight class. The Gildan 18600 is slightly yet negligibly heavier compared to the P180. Both styles are 50/50 cotton-polyester hoodies. But the heather options of the Gildan 18600 feature 60% polyester and 40% cotton. The G186 also offers a little more color choices. Hanes P180 is still an exceptional choice for customization, due to Hanes’ PrintPro® XP fleece fabric technology. The brand also uses 5% recycled polyester in its fabric. Gildan 18600 also can be categorized as sustainable due to ethical manufacturing adhering to low impact on the environment. They offer very smooth surfaces for printing, and are essentially very similar styles from two different brands. You won’t be disappointed choosing either of the two.

Is Gildan 18600 full-zip hooded sweatshirt cheap quality?

No. Despite the very budget-friendly pricing, the 18600 is built to last. The Heavy Blend fabric technology also enhances the garment’s durability to an extent. Our customers also have not reported shrinkage, pilling or even the prints fading. Gildan specializes in offering affordable and durable clothing, and still retains a strong market presence in America. The 18600 hoodie is just the full-zip variant of Gildan’s iconic 18500 (G185) pullover hoodie that’s been very popular in the wholesale apparel market for a long time. A style for those who love the G185 but with front-zippers.

How does the Gildan 18600 full-zip hoodie fit?

The hoodie offers a classic fit, and fits as expected according to our customers.

Customer Q & A

Question:

Gildan 18500 vs. Gildan 18600. What are the differences?

Answer:There are no differences in terms of fabric composition. Both styles are part of Gildan’s Heavy Blend™ lineup, with an 8 oz. 50/50 cotton-polyester blend fabric. The primary and most notable difference is that the Gildan 18600 or G186 is a full-zip hoodie while the Gildan 18500 or G185 is a pullover. The 18600 also features a uni-lined hood unlike the 18500 which has a double-lined hood.

Question:

Is Gildan 18600 blank full-zip hoodie available without a hood?

Answer: The 18600 is specifically a hooded full-zip sweatshirt model. Gildan offers the same sweatshirt without a hood, in a different style code - the Gildan 18000 or G180.

Are youth and tall sizes available for the Gildan 18600 full zip hoodie?

Answer:The Gildan 18600 comes in sizes between S and 5XL. The hoodie does not come in tall sizes. But youth sizing is available, with the style code 18600B.

Question:

Is Gildan G186 a good option for embroidery and custom printing?

Answer:Yes. The Gildan 18600 hooded sweatshirt, despite the full front zipper, is designed to take embroidery and custom printing. The fabric is overlapped across the front zipper, which allows full front printing without trouble. The heather colors of the G186 and its pullover style the G185 have also been sublimated by some of our customers with excellent results.
