Softstyle Pullover Hoodie

The Badge. The Hood. The Statement. 🏆🔥

The Softstyle Pullover Hoodie is the first hoodie in the Signature Wear Collection — and it arrives with authority. Gildan’s premium Softstyle fleece, 8.4 oz. two-end ring-spun cotton face fabric, spandex-ribbed cuffs and waistband, dyed-to-match jersey-lined hood, and the BL Military Badge on the chest. This is the hoodie that means business.

Fabric & Construction Details

Built on the Gildan SF500 Softstyle® Pullover Hooded Sweatshirt — Gildan’s premium Softstyle line, engineered for a softer hand-feel and a more refined look than standard fleece.

• 🧵 8.4 oz. 80% ring-spun cotton / 20% poly — at 8.4 oz., this is a substantial, mid-weight fleece with real warmth and structure. Ring-spun cotton creates a smoother, stronger yarn than open-end spun cotton — the result is a softer, more durable fabric that holds its shape and color through repeated washing.
• 💡 Two-end ring-spun cotton face fabric — the “two-end” construction means the face of the fabric is made from two strands of ring-spun cotton yarn twisted together, creating an even smoother, denser, and more premium surface feel than single-end construction. This is the defining feature of the Softstyle line — the face fabric is noticeably softer and more refined than standard fleece.
• 💜 Two-piece dyed-to-match jersey fabric-lined hood — the hood is lined with jersey fabric dyed to match the shell color — no contrasting lining, no exposed seams. The two-piece construction creates a structured, fitted hood shape that sits cleanly on the head without bunching or collapsing.
• 🔧 Double-needle hem and topstitching on outside of hood seam — reinforced construction at the hood seam for long-lasting durability and a clean, finished exterior look
• 🧵 3/8-inch flat drawcords — flat drawcords lie flat and don’t twist or bunch — a premium detail that keeps the hood looking clean and intentional
• 👕 Dropped shoulder — a relaxed, modern silhouette detail that creates a slightly oversized, fashion-forward shoulder placement — comfortable and on-trend
• 💪 1x1 rib knit with spandex cuffs and bottom band — the spandex content in the ribbing gives the cuffs and waistband stretch and recovery — they snap back to shape after every wear, maintaining a clean, fitted finish that doesn’t sag or stretch out over time
• 🔄 Tubular body — the body is knit in a continuous tube without side seams, creating a cleaner silhouette and reducing potential points of wear or irritation
• 👚 Classic fit with kangaroo pocket — a comfortable, relaxed classic fit with a front kangaroo pocket for warmth and storage
• 🏷️ Tearaway label — no itch, no irritation, just pure comfort all day
• 📌 Select colors available up to 5XL — one of the most inclusive size ranges in the lineup, starting from XS

The Graphic: BL Military Badge

Left-chest placement. Bronze. Gunmetal. Tactical authority.

The BL Military Badge — the horizontal, rectangular military-style badge with dark bronze and gunmetal finish, gear-tooth border detailing, flanking square corner accents, and the bold “BL” monogram at center — makes its hoodie debut here. On the clean, smooth Softstyle face fabric, the dark metallic badge reads with maximum clarity and authority. Against the White colorway, the dark bronze badge creates the sharpest, most striking contrast in the entire lineup — bold, clean, and unmistakable. This is the graphic that commands attention without demanding it.

Styling Advice

The hoodie that works everywhere — the gym, the campus, the weekend, the sideline, and everything in between. The 8.4 oz. Softstyle fleece provides real warmth without bulk, while the dropped shoulder silhouette and spandex-ribbed cuffs give it a modern, fitted look that elevates any outfit. Wear it over a tee, under a jacket, or as a standalone layer on cool days. The BL Military Badge is the most tactical and authoritative graphic in the lineup — left-chest placement, dark bronze tones, gear-tooth border — making it the piece that commands respect without saying a word. The White colorway with the dark bronze badge is the standout, highest-contrast pairing — clean, bold, and unmistakable. The XS–5XL size range (select colors) makes this the most inclusive piece in the lineup.

⚠️ Fit Note: Classic fit, XS–5XL (size availability varies by color). The dropped shoulder silhouette creates a relaxed, slightly oversized feel — size down for a more fitted look.
