Product description
Gildan® 18500 Heavy Blend™ Hooded Sweatshirt
Your coziest layer for rainy-day rereads, late-night chapters, and library runs on frosty mornings. Pull up the hood, tuck your bookmark in the pocket, and get back to your story.
The Fit:
- Classic unisex fit for everyday comfort.
- Ribbed cuffs and hem that keep their shape, wash after wash.
- Size up for a roomier, oversized look, perfect for curling up in the reading nook.
- Available sizes may vary by color.
- Check the Size Chart above before you order 👆
⚠️ IMPORTANT:
Every hoodie is made to order just for you, so we may not offer full refunds for sizing issues. Please check the size chart carefully.
The Details:
- Front pouch pocket: big enough for your phone, a paperback, or a stash of bookmarks.
- Double-lined hood with a color-matched drawcord for a clean, finished look.
- Tear-away label: no scratchy tag to distract you mid-chapter.
The Feel:
- Medium-heavy 8.0 oz/yd² fabric with a soft fleece interior.
- 50% cotton, 50% polyester. Heather Sport colors are 60% polyester, 40% cotton.
- Warm and easy to layer over your favorite BooksThreads tee.
Note: due to the fabric blend, the White color may appear slightly off-white rather than bright white.
Tip: lay a hoodie you love flat and compare its measurements with the size chart above. Measurements are a guide and may vary by up to 1.5 inches.
Washing Instructions
Care for it like your favorite well-loved paperback:
- Wash cold, inside out, with like colors to keep the print crisp.
- Tumble dry low or hang dry. High heat can shrink the fleece lining.
- Skip the fabric softener, which can affect the print and the fleece feel.
- Never iron directly on the design. Turn it inside out or use a pressing cloth.
No special treatment needed. Toss it in with your everyday wash and get back to your book.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 5 / 5 from 146 reviews.
The design turned out even better than the mockup photos. Fabric is thick but still breathable.
Good quality for the price. The print is nice but took a wash or two to soften up.
Comfortable shirt and true to size, just wish the color was a touch more vibrant in person.
Great find! The shirt fits true to size and the fabric is much softer than I anticipated.
Really like the graphic, fit is comfortable, just wish it had a bit more stretch to it.
Good quality print, fits true to size, fabric is a little thinner than I hoped for.
Good buy, print looks great, fabric is soft but a little see-through in bright light.
Solid purchase, the print looks great, only minor downside is it wrinkles a bit easily.
I appreciate how true to size this ran. No need to size up or down, fits perfectly.
Good shirt for the price, print quality is solid, just took a while to arrive.
I ordered a size up just in case and it fit perfectly, very true to size overall.
Pretty satisfied with this. Fits true to size, the fabric is a touch thinner than other shirts I own.
Absolutely love this! The quality feels way above what I paid for. Ordering another one in a different color.
This has become a staple in my wardrobe. Comfortable fabric and a design I always get asked about.
Happy with the purchase, good print quality, though the material is lighter than anticipated.
This shirt is soft, breathable, and the print is exactly the kind of bookish humor I love.
Good purchase overall, comfortable and well made, wish it came pre-shrunk.
I like this shirt a lot for my reading days, though the print could be a touch bigger.
This shirt understands introverts who'd rather be reading. The quality is excellent too.
I like the fit and reader design a lot, just wish the fabric had more stretch to it.
Love the message, love the fit.
