Buyer Questions

Frequently Asked Questions for Hoodie Manufacturing

Can you manufacture custom heavyweight 450+ GSM hoodies?

Yes. We regularly knit ultra-heavyweight 400, 450, and up to 500 GSM loopback French terry and brushed fleece. We adjust knitting cylinder tensions to achieve maximum density without stiffness, ensuring great drape and durability.

How do you guarantee the hood stands upright without slouching?

We engineer our hoods with a double-layered self-fabric construction (inner lining and outer shell from the same heavy fleece), reinforced crossover front neck plackets, and contoured 3-piece ergonomic hood patterning.

What is your shrinkage tolerance after domestic wash cycles?

All our fleece fabrics undergo pre-shrinking and sanforization during the finishing process. We guarantee residual shrinkage remains under 3% length and width under standard domestic 30°C–40°C machine washing.

Do you provide custom laser-engraved metal aglets and eyelets?

Yes. We can engrave your brand name or emblem on metal drawcord tips (aglets) and hood eyelets in matte black, brushed gunmetal, antique brass, chrome, or custom dyed tonal finishes.

What is the total turnaround time from tech pack to final delivery?

Proto sampling takes 7–10 business days, followed by 3–5 days for express courier delivery. Once the pre-production sample is approved, bulk production requires 25–35 days. We also offer air freight dispatch for fast-track collections.

Can you provide GOTS organic or OEKO-TEX certified fabrics?

Absolutely. We source certified organic combed cotton yarns with full GOTS transaction certificates and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I/II certified non-toxic reactive dyes safe for skin contact.
