Gildan 18810 Heavy Blend 1/4-Zip Sweatshirt

Wholesale Gildan 18810 Heavy Blend 1/4-Zip Sweatshirt

The Gildan 18810 Heavy Blend 1/4-Zip Sweatshirt is a value-driven fleece quarter-zip built for schools, teams, and program buyers who need a dependable blank in deep color and size ranges. Built on Gildan's Heavy Blend fleece, the 18810 pairs a smooth printing surface with the everyday durability that program apparel demands. Buyers who stock the Heavy Blend hooded sweatshirt add the 18810 when a program wants a quarter-zip in the same trusted fleece.

Gildan built the 18810 with a finer, high-quality face yarn that gives a smoother decoration surface and reduces pilling, which makes it a step up from a basic fleece for logo-forward programs. For distributors building wholesale quarter-zip offerings, the quarter-zip is the high-volume Heavy Blend option that anchors a fleece program.

Because it ships in a broad color range at a program-friendly weight, the quarter-zip gives decorators a reliable everyday blank for schools, teams, and staff. A dealer can offer it beside the Hammer Maxweight hooded sweatshirt so an account can step up to a heavier hood in the same brand.

Fabric and Construction Overview

The quarter-zip is built from an 8 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester Heavy Blend fleece spun at 24 singles, with Heather Dark Navy and Heather Scarlet Red running a 60/40 cotton/polyester blend. The Heavy Blend collection uses a finer, high-quality face yarn that gives a smoother printing surface and helps reduce pilling, so a logo sits clean and the fleece holds its look.

The build is a classic fit with a self-fabric lined cadet collar, a quarter-zip covered zipper, and 1x1 rib with spandex for enhanced stretch and recovery at the cuffs and waistband. Double-needle stitching at the shoulder, armhole, waistband, and cuffs adds durability, and a tear-away label improves comfort. Buyers who also stock the Softstyle midweight sweatpants can pair a coordinated bottom with this quarter-zip.

The 50/50 blend and finer face yarn give the quarter-zip a smoother, more decoration-ready surface than a basic fleece, and the spandex-reinforced ribbing keeps the cuffs and waistband from stretching out over a season. That durability is what schools and teams need from a quarter-zip that gets worn and washed constantly. Pairing it with the Gildan fleece range lets a dealer build a full program around one trusted brand.

Decoration Compatibility and Print Performance

The quarter-zip is a strong embroidery and screen-print blank. The finer Heavy Blend face yarn gives a smoother surface that holds screen prints crisply and reduces pilling around a design, and the quarter-zip placket leaves a clean left-chest zone for a logo.

The smooth fleece also takes embroidery and heat transfers cleanly for names and numbers, which suits school and team roster orders. Decorators run the quarter-zip beside the Heavy Blend hoodie so a program can order quarter-zips and hoods decorated to match.

Because it ships in a deep color range, the quarter-zip fits a broader wholesale quarter-zip program a dealer keeps for schools, teams, and staff accounts. A smooth, consistent surface keeps decoration predictable across reorders, which is what turns a one-time order into a standing program built on a trusted fleece.

Wholesale and Program Buying Advantages

For wholesale buyers, the quarter-zip is the high-volume Heavy Blend quarter-zip, giving schools and teams a dependable fleece layer in deep color and size ranges from a brand decorators know. It pairs directly with the Heavy Blend hoodie so an account can build a coordinated Heavy Blend program.

Deep size runs and consistent case packs make the quarter-zip practical for school, team, and staff orders that reorder through the year. The trusted Gildan fleece and broad color range make it one of the easiest quarter-zips for a dealer to keep in stock and move at volume.

For a wholesale account, the quarter-zip is the kind of blank a dealer builds a program floor on: a trusted brand, a smooth decoration surface, deep colors, and a program position that lets a school or team outfit a full roster. The finer face yarn and reduced pilling give it a cleaner look than a commodity fleece, which lets a shop upsell it over a bare-bones quarter-zip while still hitting a program spec. Because Gildan availability is reliable, a dealer can promise fast reorders through a season without chasing stock. Pairing it with the Gildan fleece range gives an account the hoods, crews, and bottoms that round out a coordinated program.
