Hoodie & Sweatshirt Manufacturing

French terry and brushed fleece hoodies, zip-throughs and crew sweatshirts — the heaviest knitted garments we run, and the ones where fabric weight most directly signals quality at retail.

Knitted polo shirts and tees in a range of colours, produced by UNF Corp Inc.

What we produce

Pullover hoodies, full-zip and half-zip styles, and crew-neck sweatshirts. Double-layer hoods, flat or round draw cords with custom tips, kangaroo or split pockets, rib cuffs and hem with elastane for recovery.

French terry or fleece

French terry is looped on the inside and unbrushed — lighter, more breathable, and holds print detail better. Brushed fleece is the same base construction with the loops raised and sheared, giving the soft inside face most buyers associate with a winter hoodie. Fleece is warmer and drapes heavier at the same GSM; terry runs cleaner through print.

240–280 GSM terry suits year-round programmes. 320–360 GSM fleece is the specification for a substantial winter hoodie.

Frequently asked questions

What GSM should a premium hoodie be?
320–360 GSM brushed fleece is the usual specification for a hoodie intended to read as premium. Below 260 GSM the garment feels light in hand regardless of construction quality.
Can you do custom draw cords and metal tips?
Yes, along with custom zips, sliders and woven labels. Trims are specified alongside the garment rather than sourced late.
What is the lead time?
Indicatively 50 to 65 days from an approved sample. Hoodies run slightly longer than tees because of the additional construction steps.
