What Our Customers Say
Quality work, accurate sizing. Make your own personal one of a kind design dreams come true here!
Great quality. My team loves their new gear
Creating shirts is incredibly easy. They always arrive with the logo the perfect size, in the exact right spot. Shipping is fast, and there's a great selection of shirts so everyone gets what they like.
Very easy to order, received quality merchandise. We will order with them again !
I had a great experience, i ordered safety shirts and sweaters for my team. Everything came on time and is good quality, I will be placing another order.
Product was exactly as I was after. Great service, easy company to deal with
Easy process to edit your design. Good quality, ahead of expected delivery. I
ll order again.
Incredible experience!! Fast delivery and amazing quality.
It was really easy to order. I ordered it and they created the small order quickly. The quality was great and I had no issues. I will order again from them!
I ordered a custom made tank top through another company but they screwed up the order not once but twice so I decided to try another company and found T-shirt elephant. They took my order and promptly created it and shipped it to me without any issues. I recommend T-Shirt Elephant's services to anyone who is planning to make a custom tee or tank top!
The site was easy to use! When the shirt came in it was exactly as expected and no imperfections or weird smells that sometimes happen with production and factories! Will be an awesome gift im excited to give!
We ordered tote bags and hoodies and they were excellent quality! The prints came out so clean and nice! Really impressed and will definitely use T-Shirt Elephant again!
Note: I'm giving 5 stars, but was close to removing 1 star due to using Intelcom as a delivery service. No signature required and anyone who has experienced Intelcom knows how bad they are. Please use trackable deliveries & signature requirements in the future (Canada Post, Fedex, UPS, etc.)
I’m very happy with the sweater I had made for my dad - the quality is very good and it washes well as far as the pigment and embroidering not getting altered. It was also a lot cheaper than the swag that I was otherwise going to buy through a name brand company!
I'm really happy with the final product I received. Proud to support a Canadian company!
The custom shirts were made as designed with fast shipping.
Absolutely love the quality of the Tshirt. I have had this same print made 5 times over the years and these are by far the best for print quality colour. All the highlights are there and not filled in. Great job! I’ll be back!
Great company to work with from design to shipping, ever step was easy and seamless. For any size project, this is the company to deal with.
I’ve gotten custom tees printed from them twice now & honestly the quality, speed of delivery and the ease of making the tee is insane!! 10/10
Great service quick ship good products
Great quality products and fast delivery . I am a repeat customer!
I've been happy with our experience, printing looks good on apparel and delivery time is reasonable.
I ordered branded t-shirts for my workplace from T-Shirt Elephant. Not only did the shirts turn out great! They were ready a full week early, making my life SO much easier. Will absolutely be ordering from them again!
First and foremost it's nice that I know I'm speaking with a human if I have a question or update to make. Secondly the options, price, ease of use, and delivery speed has been fantastic. I've ordered 4 crew sweatshirts and they are incredible comfortable. Very happy to have a Canadian company offering such a wide range of wearable, customizable products!
Great custom pieces!! I order 3 different items with different images and they all turned out amazing!! Website was very user friendly. They have many selections of clothing items and more!! Good quality of materials and great image transfers!! Thank you for turning a vision to reality!!

Product Description
Gildan 1801 Heavy Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt: The Custom Crewneck Canada Trusts
The Gildan 1801 Heavy Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt is Canada's go-to blank crewneck for custom screen printing and embroidery. Built from the same proven 50/50 cotton-polyester fleece as the best-selling Gildan 1850 hoodie, it delivers heavyweight warmth, pill-resistant durability, and a clean canvas for your designs, all in a timeless crewneck silhouette.
From corporate uniforms to school spirit wear, the Gildan 1801 is the crewneck that performs. Printed in Canada with no minimums, 10-day turnaround, and free shipping on orders over $250.
Fabric & Construction
- 50/50 cotton/polyester preshrunk fleece (fibre content varies by colour)
- 7.75 oz / 263 GSM: heavyweight fleece that provides warmth and structure without excessive bulk
- Air-jet spun yarn: softer hand feel and pill-resistant surface that stays smooth wash after wash
- Set-in sleeves for a classic, tailored fit through the shoulders
- 1x1 athletic rib knit on collar, cuffs, and waistband with spandex for shape retention
- Double-needle stitching throughout for reinforced durability at every seam
- Tear-away label for easy rebranding, add your own custom neck label or go tagless
- Tubular construction for a clean, classic silhouette
Fit & Sizing
- Classic unisex fit: relaxed through the body for comfortable layering
- Available in S through 5XL: extended sizing to fit every team member
- True to size, most customers order their standard size

- Women may prefer to size down one for a more fitted look
Gildan 1801 Crewneck vs Gildan 1850 Hoodie: Same Fabric, Different Style
- Same 7.75 oz 50/50 fleece: identical warmth, softness, and pill resistance
- Same air-jet spun yarn: both are equally smooth for printing
- The 1801 crewneck offers a cleaner, more professional look, ideal for corporate uniforms, office wear, and layering under blazers or jackets
- The Gildan 1850 hoodie adds a double-lined hood and front pouch pocket, better for casual, outdoor, and sportswear applications
- Mix and match: Many teams order both, crewnecks for work, hoodies for events

- Screen Printing: the most popular method for custom crewnecks. The pill-resistant fleece surface produces bold, vibrant prints. Full front, full back, and sleeve prints all look outstanding.

- Heat Transfer / Vinyl: ideal for names, numbers, and simple designs. Clean, sharp results on the smooth fleece surface.

Gildan 1801 FAQ
Common questions about the Gildan 1801 Heavy Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
The Gildan 1801 takes decoration on the full front, full back, left chest and sleeves. Front prints sit above the pouch pocket; the back takes the largest design.
Screen printing is the usual choice: bold front and back prints; the best value from a dozen pieces up. Embroidery suits left-chest or sleeve logos on fleece; premium and hard-wearing.
The Gildan 1801 comes in 37 colours in sizes S to 5XL, though not every colour is stocked in every size; the size list on this page shows live stock. A blank Gildan 1801 starts at $13.60; printed pricing is quoted by quantity in the design tool and drops as the order grows.
The Gildan 1801 Heavy Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt is one of the most popular t-shirts for screen printing in Canada. The smooth cotton surface provides excellent ink adhesion, producing sharp, vibrant prints that last wash after wash. It works beautifully with screen printing, DTG, DTF, heat transfer, and vinyl.
The Gildan 5000 (Heavy Cotton) is 5.3 oz with a classic, slightly heavier feel, ideal for screen printing. The Gildan 2000 (Ultra Cotton) is 6.0 oz with an even more substantial weight. Both are 100% cotton. Choose the 5000 for the best balance of printability and comfort, or the 2000 for maximum durability.
The Gildan 1801 Heavy Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt is preshrunk to minimize shrinkage. When following care instructions (machine wash cold, tumble dry low), you can expect minimal to no shrinkage. The fit stays consistent wash after wash.
