About the Gildan Youth Softstyle® Midweight Hooded Sweatshirt
Gildan’s Youth Softstyle® Midweight Hooded Sweatshirt is an easy choice for school gear, teamwear, resale, and everyday layering. It gives you a clean look, comfortable wear, and a dependable blank for decorating, with no minimums whether you need one piece or a large run.
This midweight fleece hoodie has an 8.4 oz./yd² US weight, an 80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester blend, and a 100% ring-spun cotton face. The smooth cotton surface works well for cotton-friendly decoration, while the brushed interior adds softness. A classic fit keeps it easy to wear, and the jersey-lined hood, no drawcords, pouch pocket, and 1x1 rib with spandex cuffs and bottom band help it sit neatly and hold its shape.
For decorators, the tear away label makes rebranding easier, and the style is CPSIA Tracking Label compliant. It also comes from a facility that is OEKO-TEX and FLA certified, with US grown BCI cotton in the fabric mix. If you’re building a matching set, Gildan’s Unisex Softstyle® Midweight Hooded Sweatshirt, Unisex Softstyle® Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt, Unisex Softstyle® Midweight 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt, Unisex Softstyle® Midweight Pocket Sweatpants, and Unisex Softstyle® Midweight Crewneck Sweatshirt are good companion styles to compare.
