Professional from start to finish! The website is well designed and easily accessible. There's a great variety to choose from whether more budget friendly to higher end items as well. The whole process felt personalized from customization to delivery. Had some great help from Jason while figuring personalization details. Would definitely recommend for schools and sports teams looking for some custom merchandise. The prints are clean, vibrant and last very well!

We absolutely love our custom jackets! The quality exceeded our expectations, and the embroidery turned out beautifully. One of our favorite features is being able to customize the front, back, and both sleeves all on the same jacket. The finished product looks professional, feels durable, and represents our business perfectly. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out!

Gildan 186B FAQ

Common questions about the Gildan 186B YOUTH Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt

Is the Gildan 186B YOUTH Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt good for screen printing?

The Gildan 186B YOUTH 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.

What is the difference between the Gildan 5000 and Gildan 2000?

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.

Does the Gildan 186B shrink after washing?

The Gildan 186B YOUTH 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.

What sizes does the Gildan 186B come in?

The Gildan 186B 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.

Can I order custom Gildan t-shirts with no minimum?

What print method should I choose for the Gildan 186B?

For bulk orders (12+), screen printing offers the best value and durability. For full-colour photos or small quantities, DTG or DTF printing is ideal. For names and numbers, heat transfer vinyl works great. For a premium look on polos and hoodies, embroidery is recommended. Our team can help you choose the best method for your project.
