Soft unisex hoodie with a cotton surface designed for decoration
Gildan Softstyle Midweight Hoodie SF500 is a unisex hoodie with a fabric weight of 285 g/m², combining a classic fit with a soft brushed interior. The model works well for corporate clothing, promotional apparel, events, merchandise and everyday wear.
One of the main advantages of the SF500 is its 100% ring-spun cotton outer surface. The smooth outer layer has been designed with decoration in mind, and the manufacturer particularly highlights its suitability for DTG printing.
→ The 100% ring-spun cotton surface provides an excellent base for decoration. Depending on the artwork, print size and order quantity, we can use DTF, DTG, screen printing, screen-printed heat transfer or computer embroidery.
The brushed interior improves comfort during everyday wear, while the two-piece hood with jersey lining provides a more refined finish. Dropped shoulders give the hoodie a contemporary look while maintaining a classic, versatile silhouette.
1x1 rib with spandex improves the elasticity of the cuffs and bottom band. The black tear-away label makes the model suitable for corporate collections, merchandise and projects requiring private branding.
