How to choose wholesale hoodies
Start with pullover versus full-zip. Pullover hoodies give you an uninterrupted front panel, which is ideal for large chest or front prints, while full-zip styles split that panel and suit left-chest embroidery or back prints instead. Consider the fleece interior too: brushed fleece is softer next to skin, and a fabric with higher cotton content holds print detail better than a heavily synthetic face.
Fleece weights and blends
Fleece weight drives both feel and price. Midweight fleece around 8 ounces is the versatile standard for promotional and team orders, while heavyweight 9 to 12 ounce fleece reads as premium and resists pilling. Cotton-rich blends print crisply and reduce shrinkage complaints, whereas cotton-poly blends dry faster and hold shape. For embroidery on heavy fleece, use a backing that stabilizes the loft so stitches do not sink.
