Custom Gildan SF000 GILDAN® SOFTSTYLE® CREWNECK SWEATSHIRT

Product Description

Gildan SF000 Softstyle Crewneck Sweatshirt — The Softest Custom Crewneck You Can Print On

The Gildan SF000 Softstyle Crewneck Sweatshirt is the premium, softer alternative to the classic Gildan 1801. Made from the same ring spun cotton-rich fleece as the SF500 Softstyle hoodie, it delivers a noticeably smoother, softer hand feel with a modern side-seamed fit — the crewneck that feels like a retail purchase, not a promotional giveaway.

The modern choice for brands and businesses that want their custom crewnecks to impress. Printed in Canada with no minimums, 10-day turnaround, and free shipping on orders over $250.

Fabric & Construction

• Cotton-rich ring spun fleece — significantly softer than standard open-end cotton blends
• 7.5 oz / 254 GSM — midweight fleece with a refined, modern drape
• Ring spun yarn construction — tighter twist produces a smoother surface for sharper prints
• 1x1 rib knit collar, cuffs, and waistband — clean finish that holds shape
• Double-needle stitching throughout for reinforced durability
• Tear-away label for easy rebranding
• Side-seamed construction — modern contoured fit, not tubular

Fit & Sizing

• Modern unisex fit — slightly more tailored than the Gildan 1801, with a contemporary silhouette
• Available in S through 3XL
• Runs true to size with a modern, slightly slimmer fit than Heavy Blend styles

Gildan SF000 Softstyle vs Gildan 1801 Heavy Blend — Which Crewneck?

• Softness: The SF000 is noticeably softer — ring spun construction feels retail-grade vs the 1801's classic fleece feel
• Weight: The SF000 is 7.5 oz (lighter, drapier) vs the 1801's 7.75 oz (slightly heavier, more structured)
• Construction: The SF000 is side-seamed (contoured) vs the 1801's tubular (straight cut) — the SF000 hangs better on the body
• Print surface: The SF000's ring spun surface produces slightly finer print detail
• Colour range: The 1801 has a wider colour selection
• Recommendation: Choose the 1801 for maximum value and colour variety. Choose the SF000 when softness and premium feel matter — retail merch, corporate gifts, and brand apparel.

Best Print Methods for the Gildan SF000

• Screen Printing — the ring spun surface produces sharper, more detailed prints than standard fleece. Full front, full back, and sleeve prints all look exceptional.
• Embroidery — excellent for corporate logos and premium branding. The ring spun fleece provides a smooth, stable base for detailed embroidery.
• DTG (Direct-to-Garment) — outstanding on cotton-rich colours. Photo-quality prints with a soft hand feel that blends into the fabric.
• DTF (Direct-to-Film) — works on all colours with vibrant results.
• Heat Transfer / Vinyl — clean results for names, numbers, and logos.
