Description
Gildan 18500 Unisex Hooded Sweatshirt | "Founder Since 1982" Embroidery
Product Overview
A Unisex pullover hooded sweatshirt built from a medium-heavy cotton-poly fleece blend to deliver stable warmth and a soft, consistent hand feel. The 50/50 construction supports everyday durability while keeping the surface smooth and reliable for embroidered detailing.
Embroidery is available across multiple placements (left chest, center chest, large center chest, and right + left wrists), designed to keep the “Founder” script and the “Since 1982” line crisp, readable, and structurally stable through repeated wear and washing.
Design Story
“Founder” is a classic script identity with a bold outline presence, paired with a clear “Since 1982” signature line. The composition is built for immediate recognition while staying controlled enough to integrate into a minimal wardrobe without visual noise.
