Most blank crewnecks land around 8 to 9 oz. That's fine for basics, but if you're building a premium fall or winter drop, you want something your customers can feel the moment they pick it up. The Smart Blanks 8003 Ultra Heavyweight Crewneck is 12 oz (400 GSM), and it's now in stock at Halo26 for less than you'll pay at the big online distributors.
Smart Blanks 8003 specs
- Fabric weight: 12 oz | 400 GSM
- Fabric: 60% combed ring-spun cotton, 40% polyester fleece with a 100% cotton face
- Pigment-dyed colors: 80% combed ring-spun cotton, 20% polyester
- Construction: Heavyweight 3-end fleece with a brushed interior
- Labeling: Tear-away label plus a neck patch for your branding
- Sizes: S through 3XL
- Made in: Pakistan
7 colors, including vintage pigment-dyed shades
Core colors: Black, Bone, Desert Taupe, Relaxed Grey
Pigment-dyed colors: Ash Black, Vintage Dusty Blue, Vintage Sage
The pigment-dyed colors go through a special wash for a soft, lived-in vintage look. Every piece varies slightly in shade, which is exactly what makes them popular for streetwear and boutique brands.
Why the 100% cotton face matters
The outside of the 8003 is 100% cotton, so it prints and presses much like a cotton garment, while the poly in the fleece adds warmth and helps it hold its shape. It works for embroidery, DTF, DTG, screen printing, and heat transfer. Because the fleece contains polyester, keep press temperatures in check and use inks and transfers suited to blends. The heavy 400 GSM fabric can also need slightly longer press or cure times, so test on a sample first.

Lower prices than the big distributors
We checked what a major online blank distributor, Blankstyle, charges for the exact same Smart Blanks 8003:
| Size | Halo26 (core colors) | Blankstyle (1 piece) | Blankstyle (best bulk price, $3,000+ cart) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S to XL | $12.00 | $19.12 | $15.29 |
| 2XL | $13.00 | $19.92 | $15.93 |
| 3XL | $14.00 | $21.12 | $16.89 |
That's about $7 less per sweatshirt than their single-piece price, and still lower than their biggest bulk discount, with no $3,000 order required. On a 24-piece run in S to XL, that's roughly $170 back in your margin.
