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.
