GildanYouth Hoodie Sweatshirt, Style G18500BOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

I purchased this children's hoodie jacket 2 years ago as a school uniform jacket for both of my kids and we are still using them to this day ! The material is comfortable, perfect for keeping my babies warm during colder days. The fit is true to size(i ordered a small for my 5yr old and a medium for my 7yr old) and the quality of the stitching is excellent, ensuring durability even with lots of active play, and the color has not faded at all ! Highly recommend!

I bought this to make my son a soccer hoodie to wear to his games. The fabric is soft and thick, which we like, don't care for thin hoodies. It did shrink just a small bit but not too small. It fits him great. The vinyl stuck very well to the material and hasn't chipped and or cracked. The color is a nice dark black not faded. I had kept its shape and color well after several washes. If making a hoodie using vinyl I highly recommend this hoodie. If you do put vinyl on it wash it first to account for a little shrinking.

Perfect fit. Washed and dried several times - no piling or facing and inside is still soft. Always a dependable brand.

Might just be my child's head but it is very difficult to take off for him. Once its on it fits great but a super tight squeeze getting the hoodie up and over his head. Maybe sizing up would help, but I still see this as a tighter fighting jacket around the neck and I wanted something more loose and comfy.

I don't usually write reviews but I read them all the time. I feel compelled to review this item because I am very pleased with the quality for the price. It is a nice thick sweatshirt, warm but not super heavy. It washes up beautifully with a minimum amount of shrinkage. It is not as soft as a 100% cotton sweatshirt would be but is really nice for a 50/50 blend. I agree with other reviews that this sweatshirt runs small. I ordered a youth XL which is supposed to be equivalent to a 14-16. My son is a solid size 12 so I expected it to be pretty roomy but it fits him perfectly. A Large (10-12) would have been way too small. For reference he is 58 inches and about 87 pounds.

True to size. I bought this to personalize with my daughter softball team logo and it’s so warm she just wears it plain.

Uso estos hoodies Gildan como base para mis productos personalizados con vinil, y la verdad es que me han funcionado muy bien. La tela es de buena calidad, resistente pero suave, lo que los hace ideales tanto para el uso diario como para aplicar vinil térmico sin problemas.La superficie se trabaja muy bien, el vinil se adhiere perfectamente y se mantiene después de los lavados. Además, el precio está bastante bien considerando la calidad del material, lo que los hace una opción rentable para quienes emprendemos en este tipo de negocio. Recomiendo todos los colores, aunque considero que el blanco no es mi favorito. Un detalle importante: los hoodies juveniles tienden a quedar un poco ajustados, especialmente por la forma, costuras y bolsillos. Por eso, recomiendo pedir una o dos tallas más grandes de lo que normalmente usan los niños. En cambio, los modelos de adulto sí vienen con la talla correcta.

I should preface my review with the fact that I ended up returning this sweatshirt. It was purchased for my 8 yr old son, and we got what we thought would be his usual and preferred slightly-baggy sweatshirt fit - but we were wrong. We really should have sized up a couple sizes I think, instead of our standard 1.There was very little stretch to the fabric, and the hole for his head to fit thru was really small, he couldn't even fit it over his head (even after trying to gently stretch it).And that was where the journey with this sweatshirt ended with us. I ended up returning it and paying slightly more for a sweatshirt he loves and actually wears.If you end up purchasing this sweatshirt, my advice is to size UP - way up - if you want it to actually fit.
