Hoodie Manufacturing for Startups, Brands and Teams
We make hoodies for three groups: new labels launching a first drop of 100 pieces, established brands that need a dependable sweatshirt factory for repeat colours, and teams, schools or companies ordering branded hoodies in long size runs.
A hoodie is often the highest-value item in a streetwear range, so it carries the brand. That is why we start every order with weight, fit and hood construction before talking about price.
New streetwear labels
Launch two or three hoodie designs at 100 pieces each. A heavier oversized pullover, around 380 GSM, photographs well and feels substantial in the hand, which helps a new label stand out.
Growing brands
Reorder the same block in new seasonal colours and keep measurements consistent from one run to the next, checked against your signed sample.
Teams, schools and companies
Embroidered crests, printed names and numbers, size runs from small to extra large, and packing split by squad or department.
Hoodie and Sweatshirt Styles We Make
Our sewing lines produce pullover, zip-up, cropped and oversized hoodies, crewneck sweatshirts, puff print and embroidered hoodies, and balaclava hoodies. Each can be made custom, private label or white label.
Oversized hoodies
Dropped shoulders, wider body and longer sleeves; usually made in heavier fleece.
White label hoodies
A proven base hoodie finished with your labels and packaging, the quickest route to market.
Cropped hoodies
Shorter body lengths, often with raw or ribbed hems, for womenswear ranges.
Crewneck sweatshirts
Same fleece, no hood. A common pairing with joggers for a matching set.
Balaclava hoodies
Hood with built-in face cover for streetwear and outdoor ranges.
Wholesale hoodies
Repeat bulk runs of one approved style for retailers and distributors.
Hoodie Fabrics and GSM: What to Choose
Pick 280–320 GSM for an everyday or layering hoodie and 380–460 GSM for a heavyweight streetwear piece. Brushed fleece is soft and warm inside; French terry has loops inside and drapes more lightly.
Other fabric options we source for hoodies: 100% cotton, organic cotton, polyester blends, and bamboo or hemp blends for eco-focused ranges.
| GSM | Feel | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 280 GSM | Light, flexible | Layering hoodies, promotional and event merch, warmer climates |
| 320 GSM | Mid-weight | Everyday brand hoodies, team and school wear |
| 380 GSM | Heavy, structured | Premium streetwear, oversized fits |
| 460 GSM | Very heavy | Luxury and heavyweight drops where the weight is the selling point |
Garment dye, acid wash and enzyme wash finishes are available on cotton-rich fleece. More on fabric sourcing.
Custom Branding for Private Label Hoodies
Every hoodie can carry your print or embroidery, your labels and your packaging, and none of these add a separate minimum on top of the 100-piece order.
Screen print, puff print, sublimation, heat transfer, DTG and foil, plus embossing or debossing for a tonal look.
Colours and trims
Custom dyed fleece colours, personalised zips and hardware, and washes such as garment dye or acid wash.
Labels and packaging
Woven neck labels, printed care labels, hang tags and branded bags or boxes.
How a Hoodie Order Moves Through Our Factory
Every hoodie order passes six checkpoints, and no fleece is cut for bulk until you have signed off a physical sample.
1. Enquiry
Send the style, GSM, fit, artwork and quantities. A priced quote follows within 24 hours.
2. Tech pack
Body length, chest width, sleeve and hood measurements, plus pocket, cuff and drawcord details, all agreed in writing.
3. Sample
First the fleece swatch gets your OK; the pre-production hoodie is ready 7–14 business days later.
4. Approval
You check fit, weight and decoration and approve in writing. Minor tweaks are free at this point.
5. Bulk
Over 20–35 business days the fleece is cut, sewn and decorated, while line checks watch hoodie measurements, stitching and print registration.
6. Ship
Final AQL 2.5 inspection of the hoodies, then folding, bagging and dispatch by ocean or air on DDP or FOB.
See every stage on our manufacturing process page.
What a High Quality Hoodie Manufacturer Checks
Hoodies fail in predictable places: twisted side seams, uneven hood height, loose cuffs and cracked prints. Our inline checks and AQL 2.5 final inspection are built around catching those before packing.
- Body, sleeve and hood measured against the spec sheet while sewing
- Stitch quality on shoulders, side seams and cuffs
- Print alignment and embroidery position on each hoodie
- Drawcords, zips and neck labels fixed firmly
- Finished hoodies compared with your approved sample and photographed for you
Hoodie MOQ, Price Factors and Lead Times
Our hoodie minimum is 100 pieces per style, per colour, per size run. A sample hoodie is made in 7–14 business days, and bulk hoodies need 20–35 business days from approval. GSM, fit and decoration move the price more than anything else.

What changes the price of a hoodie
- GSM. Moving from 320 to 460 GSM adds fabric weight to every piece.
- Fit. Oversized blocks use more fabric than regular fits.
- Hood. A double-layer hood costs more than a single layer.
- Zip or pullover. A full zip adds a trim and sewing time.
- Decoration. Puff print, large embroidery and multiple placements add cost.
- Finish. Garment dye and acid wash are extra processes.
- Quantity. Price per piece falls as the run per colour grows.

Buyer's Guide to Hoodie Manufacturers
Most problems with hoodies show up after the first wash, not in the product photo. A good hoodie manufacturing brief prevents them by fixing fabric, construction and measurements before sampling.
Fleece choices explained
Brushed fleece has its inner loops brushed into a soft pile, which feels warm and plush. French terry leaves the loops intact, so it breathes better and drapes more lightly. Cotton-rich fleece takes garment dye and washes well; polyester-rich blends hold colour and shape but feel less natural.
Construction details to put in your tech pack
- Hood: single or double layer, and the hood height
- Pocket: kangaroo pocket or split side pockets
- Cuffs and hem: rib knit or self-fabric
- Shoulder: set-in for a classic fit, dropped for oversized
- Drawcord: flat or round, with or without eyelets
What drives cost for custom sweatshirt manufacturers
Fabric weight and fit decide how much fleece goes into each piece. Decoration and finishing add process time. When you compare quotes from hoodie manufacturers, check that each one is for the same GSM, fit and hood construction, otherwise the cheapest quote is often a lighter garment.
Hoodie manufacturer for USA brands: working overseas
US brands searching for a hoodie manufacturer in the USA often end up paying an importer’s margin on goods made abroad. Working direct with our Sialkot factory removes that layer. Sialkot is on UTC+5, so schedule hoodie approvals with that gap in mind, write every change into the tech pack, and sign off from photos plus measurements.
Shipping hoodies to the USA, UK and EU
Fleece hoodies fill cartons fast, which is why full hoodie orders usually sail and samples or urgent restocks fly. DDP hoodies land at your warehouse duty-paid; FOB hoodies are handed to your forwarder at the port in Pakistan. Documents for each hoodie shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, and certificate of origin.
