Sweatshirt Fabric - A Quick Guide

Sweatshirts are a wardrobe staple for any season. While you design your hoodies and give it to a custom hoodie printing company, you must ensure that all the elements right from the design to colors and the fabric you choose are good. We are here to discuss different fabrics that are used widely to make custom hoodies. If you are confused about which fabric to pick up for your order,

To stretch or not to stretch

Sweatshirts are made from stretchable and non-stretchable fabrics. This is important whether you are an apparel decorator or buying sweatshirts for your athletic needs. The material descriptions don’t always specify if it has stretch or not, so don’t sweat it too much if you can’t find it in the product description. It will turn out perfect, either way, just an extra bit of challenge to stitch when it has some stretch.

Fabric Weight

Fabric weight is a critical factor when it comes to what level of comfort a sweatshirt can offer. Here are the most common fabric weight options you will find in the market and what you should look for.

Wholesale hoodies are available in weights from 6.5 oz. to 10 oz. Some types of customers like a heavy-weight hoodie, particularly if they will be wearing it as outerwear. You can choose a lighter weight to add a layer without bulk. Polyester hoodies will generally weigh less due to the lighter nature of that fabric, and 100% cotton is a heavier weight.

Fabric Content

Another thing that is crucial when choosing sweatshirts for your winter wardrobe is the type of fabric. As you probably know, cheap bulk sweatshirts can be made from cotton, polyester, fleece, and so on.

We suggest 100% cotton fabrics because they are comfortable to wear in most seasons. Cotton hoodies are soft, breathable, and, lightweight. Besides, this natural fabric is very lightweight and offers excellent flexibility to the body.

The next popular option for cheap bulk hoodies is fleece. Fleece hoodies work best in the winter. While you are looking forward to gifting custom hoodies to your employees to keep them warm during the winter days, fleece hoodies should be a perfect choice.
