Development notes
The decisions that actually determine the outcome for this product, and are best settled before sampling.
Hood construction defines the silhouette
A two-panel hood, a three-panel hood and a lined hood all sit differently on the shoulders. Hood depth, opening width and whether the hood is self-lined are specified at sample stage — this is the detail brands most often want revised after seeing the first sample.
Rib and body fabric are dyed to match
Cuffs, waistbands and the main body are different constructions, so matching the colour requires them to be dyed together in the same lot. This is a normal part of planning but it affects lead time, particularly for custom colours.
Fleece weight and shrinkage
Heavier brushed fleece is warmer but shrinks differently to French terry. We account for this in the pattern, and confirm it against a washed sample before bulk so that graded sizes stay accurate after the customer washes the garment.
MOQ starts from 50 pieces per colour for suitable styles. Final MOQ depends on the product, fabric, construction, number of colours, finishing and sourcing requirements.

Questions about this category
What fabric weight should I choose for a hoodie?
It depends on your market and season. Around 280–320 gsm is a common all-year weight. Heavier fleece around 350–400 gsm reads as more premium and suits colder markets, but costs more in both fabric and freight. We can develop samples in two weights if you want to compare.
Can you produce matching hoodie and jogger sets?
Yes. Sets are usually developed together in the same fabric and dye lot so the colours match exactly. Each piece still counts separately towards the order quantity.
