Blank hoodies for your own label
The hoodie is where most brands make or lose their reputation. It is the highest value piece in a first drop and the one customers judge by weight in the hand.
Anything under 300gsm will feel thin against a retail competitor. 350gsm is the sweet spot for most brands. 400gsm is a statement, but it narrows your colour options considerably.

A word on 400gsm
Founders often arrive asking for 400gsm or heavier, and it is worth knowing what that costs you beyond the price.
At 400gsm the colour palette narrows sharply, typically to black, navy, natural and one or two greens. Oatmeal, charcoal and dusty blue are not made at that weight in the ranges worth using.
At 350gsm you get the full colour range and a garment that still feels substantial in the hand. Unless the weight is central to your brand story, 350gsm is usually the better trade.
If the weight genuinely is the story, the AS Colour Made Hood at 500gsm goes further than anything else we supply. You just accept four colours to get there.
The Cruiser 2.0 runs to 5XL. Most other hoodies run XXS to 3XL.
Which decoration suits it
Embroidery suits a small chest logo and any quantity, including a single sample. Screen print suits a simple design at 100 or more of that design, and a well cured print can outlast the garment. DTF suits full colour artwork and first runs under 100. A one colour print on a dark garment needs a white base underneath, which makes it two colours.
Up to four weeks from artwork approval. Woven labels take 7 to 10 working days from the label maker, on new and repeat orders alike. They run alongside production rather than adding to it. Orders without labels are quicker. Decoration and finishing only is usually two to three weeks.
Everything here is held in stock, so there is no fabric minimum and no waiting on a production run. Reorders come from the same stock, which means your second run matches your first. Relabelling and finishing start at 25 garments, with mixed styles counted together.
Don't buy your first garments from a photograph.
A 350gsm hoodie and a 400gsm hoodie look identical online and feel completely different when you pick them up. Come to the Bradford unit and handle the range before you order.
