Questions about Custom Hoodies?
FAQ
Everything you need to know about fleece fabrics, decoration methods, team treatments, bulk pricing, and delivery.
What's the best fabric for a custom hoodie?
Depends on the program. Cotton-poly fleece (Independent Trading Co, Gildan, Jerzees) is the everyday-merch and group-run workhorse. French terry (Cotton Heritage, Lane Seven, AS Colour) is the boutique and fashion-capsule pick โ lighter looped-back with a clean drape. Heavyweight and brushed fleece (Los Angeles Apparel, Marine Layer, Champion) is the premium-streetwear choice โ dense lofted nap with substantial structure. Ringspun and organic cotton fleece (Econscious, Allmade, Everywhere Apparel) is the eco and lifestyle pick โ exceptionally soft and holds crisp detail.
What's the best decoration for a fleece hoodie?
Embroidery is the headline decoration on fleece โ tonal flat-embroidered chest crests, back-yoke wordmarks, and sleeve lockups read beautifully on cotton-poly fleece, French terry, and ringspun cotton fleece hoodies. On heavyweight brushed fleece, the lofted nap makes embroidery, woven and chenille patches, and heat-pressed transfers the standout choices. Bold plastisol and water-based screen print works great on smoother cotton-poly and ringspun cotton fleece, and full-color DTG shines on French terry and ringspun cotton fleece.
What's the difference between a pullover hoodie and a zip-up hoodie?
A pullover hoodie has a closed front panel and usually a kangaroo pocket, while a zip-up (full-zip) hoodie has a front zipper and split front pockets โ handy for layering on and off. Both have a double-layer hood with a drawcord, use the same fleece fabrics, and take the full decoration library โ embroidery, screen print, DTG, transfers, and patches across the front panel, back panel, and long sleeves (the zip-up splits front-chest decoration to one side of the placket).
Are custom hoodies machine-washable?
Yes. Follow the garment label โ most fleece hoodies are machine-washable cold and tumble-dried low. Turn inside-out before washing for the longest life on embroidered, screen-printed, and DTG decoration.
Do you offer bulk pricing on hoodie orders?
Yes. Bulk discounts apply at volume across embroidery, screen print, DTG, transfer, patch, and foil runs on the full hoodie archive. Reach out for a custom quote tailored to your team, brand-drop, corporate, or everyday-lifestyle order.
How quickly can I get custom hoodies for an event or team rollout?
Standard production is 10โ14 business days after proof approval. Rush production is available for event drops, launch merch, and team rollout deadlines. Every order ships with tracking and we plant one tree per order placed.
