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
- For an oversized/streetwear look, size up one
- 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
Best Print Methods for the Gildan 1801
- 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.
- Embroidery — the premium choice for corporate crewnecks. The heavyweight fleece provides an excellent stable base for detailed logo embroidery. Left chest embroidery is the most popular placement.
- DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing — works on all colours including darks. Full-colour designs with a soft hand feel.
- Heat Transfer / Vinyl — ideal for names, numbers, and simple designs. Clean, sharp results on the smooth fleece surface.
- DTG (Direct-to-Garment) — best on lighter colours for photographic-quality prints with unlimited colour detail.
