Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What decoration methods work best on the Gildan 18000?
A: The 18000 accepts all standard decoration methods including screen printing, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, sublimation transfers, and embroidery. The smooth fleece interior and 50/50 blend provide an excellent printing surface.

Q: Is the Gildan 18000 true to size?
A: Yes, Gildan sizing is consistent and true to standard unisex sizing. The 18000 offers a classic, comfortable fit that's not too fitted or too loose. For a more relaxed fit or to accommodate layering, consider sizing up.

Q: Can I remove the label for custom branding?
A: Absolutely! The 18000 features a tear-away label that removes cleanly, making it perfect for adding your own custom woven labels, heat transfer labels, or screen-printed neck tags.
