About the Gildan SF000

The Gildan SF000 is the crewneck pullover in Gildan's Softstyle Midweight Fleece line, an 8.4-ounce 80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester construction that sits in a more refined fleece tier than basic Heavy Blend. The brushed interior keeps it soft against the skin, and the 100% ring-spun cotton face gives decorators a smoother surface for screen printing, DTG, DTF, and embroidery than a heavier 50/50 fleece would deliver. For programs where end-customer comfort and a more retail-quality feel matter, the SF000 is the no-hood pullover built around quality rather than just unit price.

The Softstyle Midweight Fleece construction matters at the print line. A 100% ring-spun cotton face means screen prints land cleanly without the fuzzy halo that coarser fleece can produce around print edges, DTG ink bonds with sharper image detail, and embroidery sits flatter on the smoother surface than it would on a budget fleece. Color planning is the one place to pay attention before you commit a print: most colors run the standard 80/20 cotton-majority blend, but Sport Grey is 75/25 cotton/polyester and Dark Heather is 50/50, which means dye migration considerations apply on dark prints for those two colors.

Construction details that round out the silhouette: the dropped shoulder gives the SF000 a slightly oversized, modern profile that's been popular across retail fleece for the last few years, and the 1x1 rib cuffs and bottom band with spandex hold their shape through repeated wear and wash. The classic fit sits true to size and works across a wide range of body types, which makes the SF000 a practical pick for team programs ordering across the full size range from XS through 4XL.

Available in XS through 4XL with a versatile color range. For the matching pullover hoodie in the same Softstyle Midweight Fleece family, the Gildan SF500 Softstyle Midweight Fleece Hood is the natural pairing for programs needing both silhouettes. For the matching full-zip hood, the Gildan SF600 Softstyle Midweight Fleece Full-Zip covers the zip-front silhouette in the same fabric. For the matching quarter-zip, the Gildan SF008 Softstyle Midweight Fleece 1/4-Zip covers the in-between option for programs that want a less casual silhouette than a full crew. For a heavier, more budget-friendly crewneck in the standard Heavy Blend family, the Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend Crewneck covers the high-volume side of the crew category at a lower per-unit cost.

FAQ

How does the SF000 compare to the Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend Crewneck?

Both are 8-ounce-class crewneck sweatshirts, but the fabric and the hand are different. The SF000 uses Gildan's Softstyle Midweight Fleece, an 80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester construction with a brushed interior and a 100% ring-spun cotton face for a softer, more retail-quality feel. The 18000 uses Heavy Blend, an 8-ounce 50/50 cotton/polyester construction that runs at a lower per-unit cost and is the workhorse of school, team, and corporate volume programs. For programs where softness and a finer cotton face matter, the SF000 is the right pick. For high-volume budget programs where unit price wins, the 18000 lands a few dollars lower per unit.

Is the SF000 good for embroidery?

Yes. The 100% ring-spun cotton face holds embroidery stitching cleanly, and a left chest placement is the standard approach for corporate, team, and school spirit programs. Embroidery on the back panel works equally well thanks to the cotton face, and the brushed interior gives the body of the sweatshirt enough structure to hoop cleanly without the fabric pulling tight against the embroidery frame.

Can I screen print on the SF000?

Yes. The 100% ring-spun cotton face takes plastisol and water-based inks cleanly across both the chest and the back panel. For dark prints on Sport Grey (75/25 cotton/polyester) and Dark Heather (50/50), use a low-bleed plastisol or a poly-friendly underbase to prevent dye migration; the cotton-majority colors print without those workarounds.

What sizes are available?
