Does this hoodie meet safety standards for direct skin contact and garment durability?

Yes. The 100% cotton fleece fabric is certified under OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Product Class II for direct skin contact with prolonged use. All production batches are tested for formaldehyde content below 20 mg/kg, extractable heavy metals under 0.5 ppm, and azo dyes at non-detectable levels. The certification covers the main shell, drawcords, metal eyelets, and printed care labels. Third-party lab reports are generated per production lot, with full documentation available upon request. We maintain a rolling compliance calendar with re-certification every 12 months.

What are the recommended screen printing settings for this heavyweight fleece?

The fabric is engineered for screen printing with plastisol inks at 160°C–170°C for 15–20 seconds under medium pressure. The thick 380–420 GSM fleece requires a slightly longer dwell time and higher flash cure temperature (165°C) to ensure full ink penetration through the face yarns without scorching. We recommend a two-stage process: flash cure at 160°C for 10 seconds, then final cure at 170°C for 15 seconds. The fabric's 100% cotton construction with no synthetic blends ensures excellent ink adhesion and opacity.

How does the MOQ work for size and color combinations, and what are the setup fees?

Base MOQ is 20 units per color — a deliberately low threshold for testing new designs. Setup fees are waived entirely for orders of 100+ units. For orders between 20–99 units, a $55 screen/setup fee applies per unique print placement (front, back, or sleeve). Size splits (S–2XL) within the same color do not trigger additional setup charges as long as the total quantity meets the 20-unit color MOQ. Pricing tiers: 20–49 units at $12.50/unit, 50–99 at $11.20/unit, 100–249 at $10.15/unit, 250–499 at $9.40/unit, 500+ at $8.65/unit.

What's the quality control protocol before these hoodies ship out?

We enforce AQL 2.5 per ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, General Inspection Level II. For a 200-unit run, we randomly draw 50 units. Critical defects (holes, stains >5mm, misaligned seams) are zero-tolerance. Major defects (print shift >4mm, loose threads >3cm, zipper malfunction) capped at 2.5%. Minor defects (slight color variance ∆E < 3, small loose threads) accepted up to 4.0%. Every garment is visually inspected post-cutting, in-line during sewing, and again at final finishing. All inspection checkpoints are photo-documented and time-stamped.

What's the HS code and what shipping paperwork do I need for US import?

Primary HS code for US import is 6110.20.2079 — men's or boys' knitted cotton hoodies. Duty rate is approximately 16.5% ad valorem. Required documentation: Commercial Invoice (FOB value declared), Detailed Packing List (carton counts and weights), Certificate of Origin (China), and Pre-Shipment Inspection Report. We also provide a Shipper's Letter of Instruction and ISF filing data for ocean freight.

The primary raw material is 100% combed ring-spun cotton sourced from the Xinjiang region of China, known for its long-staple fibers that produce a softer, more durable yarn. The cotton is spun into a 20/2 count yarn, providing the strength needed for heavyweight fleece construction. The yarn is then shipped to our knitting mill in Jiangsu, where it's converted into a 3-end fleece fabric on 20-gauge circular knitting machines, producing a dense 380–420 GSM fabric with a brushed interior for warmth and a smooth, calendared face for print adhesion.

The greige fabric undergoes a full finishing sequence: scouring to remove natural waxes and pectins, heat-setting at 180°C to lock dimensional stability, and a dual-stage brushing process on the reverse side to create the signature fleece texture. The face side receives a calendaring finish under heated rollers (170°C, 30 kg/cm²) to compress surface fibers, creating a smooth substrate for screen printing. The fabric is then piece-dyed in reactive dyes for solid colors, with full colorfastness testing to ISO 105-C06. All hardware — including metal eyelets, drawcord tips, and zipper pulls (if applicable) — are nickel-free and meet REACH Annex XVII restrictions on nickel release.

The cut-and-sew facility operates under ISO 9001:2015 and BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) Level B certification, verified through bi-annual unannounced audits. The factory employs roughly 450 production staff across six assembly lines, with a monthly output of 55,000 hoodies. Production processes include automated spreading, computer-controlled cutting (Eastman systems), and a combination of flatlock and overlock machines for seam construction. Each garment passes through three inspection checkpoints: fabric inspection pre-cutting, in-line sewing inspection, and a final 100% visual check before packing.

Environmental compliance includes OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification (Product Class II) for the finished garment, covering all components including the shell fabric, drawcords, eyelets, and printed labels. The dyeing mill operates a closed-loop wastewater treatment system with zero liquid discharge — effluent is evaporated and solid waste is sent to cement kilns for co-processing. All packaging materials are FSC-certified, and each master carton receives a unique batch tracking label with production date, style code, and quantity for full traceability from yarn lot to final delivery.

What You Need to Know?A heavyweight fleece hoodie designed for colder seasons and premium-feel apparel.

With its oversized fit and thick cotton construction, this style works well for brands and buyers looking to offer warmer, more substantial hoodies that align with current streetwear trends.

If you're looking for a hoodie that feels warm, structured, and built for colder seasons, thick fleece cotton styles like this are a common go-to.

This oversized hoodie combines a heavier cotton outer with a soft fleece interior, making it suitable for winter apparel, streetwear collections, and premium-feel merch. The relaxed silhouette also helps reduce sizing issues in bulk orders.

For brands and bulk buyers, this type of hoodie works well when you want something more substantial than standard lightweight options.

Why Companies Choose This Product? ✔ Thick fleece interior for warmth
✔ Oversized fit matches current streetwear demand
✔ Heavyweight feel (better perceived value)
✔ Easy for bulk sizing (lower return risk)
✔ Works for high-margin retail positioning

Is This the Right Choice for Your Business? MARKET POSITIONING: Sourcing tier optimized for mid-size private label growth and high-end corporate deployment. Positioned as a "premium heavyweight" blank for streetwear brands, event merch, and team apparel programs where quality and durability are paramount.
PRICE BENCHMARK: Achieves an estimated 30-40% reduction in total unit economics compared to domestic wholesalers at the same volume. US-based wholesalers typically price comparable heavyweight cotton hoodies at $14–$18/unit at 100-piece MOQ; SupplyBatch's tiered structure lands at $10.15/unit for the same volume, delivering a landed cost advantage of approximately 35–38% even after freight and duty considerations. This margin delta increases at higher volumes, with 500+ unit orders hitting $8.65/unit — roughly 45% below domestic wholesale benchmarks.
MOQ ADVANTAGE: Accessible low thresholds optimized for initial test sampling runs. The 20-unit MOQ per color allows brands to test multiple SKU variations without overcommitting inventory, while the sample order program (1–5 units at $16.50/unit with $35 sampling fee credited back) enables design validation before full production runs.

Questions Buyers Often Ask

Q: Do thicker hoodies actually sell better in winter or just cost more?

Q: Can I print on both the front and back of these hoodies?

A: Absolutely — the fabric is engineered for multi-placement screen printing. The smooth, calendared face allows for sharp, opaque prints on the chest, back, sleeves, and even the hood. We recommend using low-bleed plastisol inks to prevent dye migration, especially on darker colors. For all-over prints, we recommend sublimation or discharge printing, but for standard logos, screen printing works great.

Q: How does the oversized fit compare to standard hoodies?

A: This runs about one full size larger than a typical retail hoodie. A size M here fits like an L in most streetwear brands — we designed it that way to reduce sizing complaints on bulk orders. The measurements are on the spec sheet: chest width for M is 61cm (24 inches) compared to 56cm for a standard fit. If your customers prefer a true-to-size look, size down. For events and teamwear, this loose cut means fewer exchanges.

Q: What's the actual lead time from order to doorstep?

A: Samples ship in 5–10 business days. Bulk production runs 10–25 business days depending on quantity and complexity. Add 5–7 days for DHL air freight to the US, so figure 15–32 business days total door-to-door for bulk. We send production tracking links so you can monitor every stage. Rush production (7-day turnaround) is available for a 20% expedite fee.

Q: Any hidden charges I should know about?

A: No. The per-unit price covers the blank hoodie. Setup fees only apply below 100 units ($55 per print placement). Custom color matching (non-stock colors) carries a $85 lab-dip fee, waived on orders over 300 units. Neck label swaps, polybagging, and size splits are all included. No surprises — what's in the quote is what you pay, plus shipping.

Q: Can I get custom neck labels or tags?

A: Yes — we can swap the standard woven neck label for your own branded label. Minimum for custom labels is 150 units per design. We also offer direct screen printing on the neck area with no MOQ — just send your artwork and we'll print it during production. Both options are seamless and don't add extra lead time.

Thicker hoodies definitely sell better in colder seasons.

Customers can feel the difference right away — heavier fleece just feels warmer and more premium. People are also more willing to pay a higher price for something that looks and feels substantial.

A lot of brands switch to heavier hoodies in fall/winter and go lighter in summer.
