Unisex Heavy-Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
A clean, dependable crewneck engineered for everyday wear. The cotton/poly blend keeps prints bright and the fit approachable — neither too boxy nor too snug. It's the sort of sweatshirt you reach for when comfort matters.
Product Highlights
Built from a balanced cotton and polyester mix, this crewneck gives you the soft hand of cotton with the color-keeping and shape retention polyester offers. That fabric combo helps printed artwork look crisp and vibrant, wash after wash.

- Cotton/poly blend for softness, durability, and color retention
- Ribbed knit collar to prevent stretching and keep a neat neckline
- No side seams for a cleaner feel against the skin
- Midweight construction — warm without bulk
