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 1860 Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hoodie: The Custom Zip-Up Canada Relies On
The Gildan 1860 Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt is the zip-up version of the best-selling Gildan 1850 pullover hoodie. Same trusted 50/50 fleece, same pill-resistant durability, same premium feel, with the added versatility of a full-length zipper. It's the top-selling custom zip-up hoodie in Canada for screen printing and embroidery.
The full-zip design makes it easy to layer over any outfit, show off an inner t-shirt, or remove without messing up your hair. 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 matching the Gildan 1850 pullover
- Air-jet spun yarn: softer feel and pill-resistant surface that stays smooth wash after wash
- Full-length YKK-style zipper: smooth, durable zip with metal pull for long-lasting reliability
- Double-lined hood with matching drawstring for a clean, premium finish
- Split front pouch pockets: two separate pockets on either side of the zipper for secure storage

- Double-needle stitching throughout for reinforced durability

Gildan 1860 Full-Zip vs Gildan 1850 Pullover: Which Custom Hoodie Is Right for You?
- Same fabric: Both use identical 7.75 oz 50/50 air-jet spun fleece, same warmth, softness, and pill resistance
- Zipper convenience: The 1860 is easier to put on and take off, great for layering and temperature control
- Print area: The Gildan 1850 pullover offers a larger uninterrupted front print area. The 1860's zipper splits the front, so left-chest or back prints are most popular
- Embroidery: Both are excellent for embroidery. The 1860 is especially popular for left-chest logo embroidery in corporate settings
- Pockets: The 1850 has a single kangaroo pouch. The 1860 has two split pockets, more practical for keys, phone, and wallet
- Style: Pullover hoodies have a more casual, streetwear vibe. Full-zips look slightly more polished and professional
Best Print Methods for the Gildan 1860
- Embroidery: the most popular choice for zip-up hoodies. Left-chest logo embroidery creates a clean, professional look. The heavyweight fleece provides an excellent stable base.
- Screen Printing: ideal for full back prints, left chest, and sleeve designs. The pill-resistant surface produces bold, long-lasting prints. Avoid printing across the zipper.
- DTF (Direct-to-Film): works on all colours. Great for detailed, full-colour designs on the back panel or left chest.
- Heat Transfer / Vinyl: clean results for names, numbers, and logos. Popular for team and corporate applications.

Gildan 1860 FAQ
Common questions about the Gildan 1860 Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt
The Gildan 1860 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 1860 comes in 16 colours in sizes S to 3XL, though not every colour is stocked in every size; the size list on this page shows live stock. A blank Gildan 1860 starts at $30.40; printed pricing is quoted by quantity in the design tool and drops as the order grows.
The Gildan 1860 Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hooded 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 1860 Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hooded 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.
The Gildan 1860 is available in sizes S through 5XL, offering one of the widest size ranges in the industry. Youth and ladies' fit versions are also available in separate styles.
