The Gildan GD57B Kids Heavy Blend™ Hooded Sweatshirt is a children's hoodie available plain or personalised with your own image. This soft, durable sweatshirt is suitable for school, clubs, sports teams, events, merchandise and everyday wear. Children's sizes XS–XL cover approximately ages 4–14.
How do I personalise this kids' hoodie?
Upload your image on this product page and select the print placement. Your image can be applied using DTF (direct-to-film) printing, and a design preview will be sent to you by email before printing. The clean front and back surfaces provide an excellent base for personalisation. You can also choose a plain hoodie without personalisation.
What fabric is the hoodie made from?
The hoodie is made from 50% cotton and 50% polyester. Coloured fabric weighs 280gsm, while white fabric weighs 270gsm. Its air-jet yarn construction provides a smoother feel while helping to reduce pilling, and the soft brushed interior adds everyday comfort. The garment is suitable for printing and embroidery.
