Hoodies & Sweatshirts · OEM & ODM
A hoodie is more than its graphic. Start with the body shape, fabric feel and hood construction, then build the branding around them.

Discuss this direction02 / Material decisions
A fabric name is a starting point, not a full specification. Bring the desired look and feel; review the actual material before committing to the garment.
| Direction | What it changes | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Brushed fleece | A softer, warmer-feeling inner surface. | Check brushing, pilling and handfeel after washing. |
| French terry | A loop-back option for a less bulky inner feel. | Compare loop texture, drape and weight on swatches. |
| Rib trim | Connects the body, cuffs and neckline visually. | Approve stretch, recovery and color match with the body fabric. |
Confirm composition, weight, color, care and any required supporting documents as part of your material brief.

03 / Before sampling
Use these checkpoints to turn an image into a clearer development brief.
Send your referencesMark chest width, body length, shoulder drop and sleeve length on one reference.
Review hood depth, hood layers and pocket opening before artwork placement.
Agree measurement tolerances and a wash-check method; compare body and rib after care.
Review artwork size, placement, backing and handfeel on the intended fabric.
04 / Finishing
A short, relevant selection for this category. Suitability depends on your material and artwork and should be checked on a sample.
05 / Sample review
Start with the intended layers and fit. Record the body and sleeve measurements, hood shape, fabric direction, rib and decoration in one brief. Review the actual sample for movement, seam bulk and the relationship between body fabric and rib. Agree the care conditions before comparing measurements or surface appearance after washing. Keep each correction tied to a sample ID and specification version; confirm the approved reference and open points in writing.
If a cuff becomes loose during use, record hand passage, wrist fit and return after sleeve positioning with our hoodie cuff review.

Use what you know and leave undecided details open. Copy or download your notes when you are ready.
This worksheet does not send an inquiry or save your entries to our server. Keep a copy before leaving this page.
Use the same brief when comparing quotes so materials, finishing and delivery assumptions stay comparable.
Record what was specified, what you observed and what needs another check. These are your working notes, not a test report or an automatic approval.
Before bulk production, agree which sample and specification version form the final approval reference, including the intended materials and finishing.
Continue to the inquiry form with all filled quotation and sample notes. The transfer is available in this browser tab for one hour; review and send the form yourself.
06 / Quote questions
Send a reference garment or a front-and-back sketch with chest, length, shoulder and sleeve measurements. A label such as oversized does not define a repeatable fit.
Compare actual swatches for inner feel, drape and weight. Brushing, composition and finishing matter alongside GSM; approve the choice together with the intended fit.
Pricing and bulk production timing are confirmed in your order-specific quote after reviewing the style, fabric availability, decoration and quantity.
Yes. Send a sketch or reference image with the measurements and details you already know. Identify what is still undecided so the next sample-development steps can be discussed.
Send the total quantity and your proposed breakdown by style, colour and size. The feasible split and any conditions are reviewed for your project and confirmed in the written quote.
Compare the same specification version, materials, decoration, labels, packaging and quantity breakdown. Ask which sample, testing, inspection and freight costs are included or separate, and confirm the destination, quote validity and production timing in writing.
