Quick Answer
Custom hoodies start with the fit, fabric and finish
For hoodie sourcing, buyers should define the silhouette first, then choose fleece or French terry, full cotton, cotton blend, CVC blend or PC blend, GSM, finishing, decoration method, trims and size chart.
A realistic hoodie tech pack usually needs fabric composition, body GSM, rib GSM, hood construction, pocket construction, wash process, print technique, artwork placement and tolerance rules before costing can be accurate.
For sample/SMS orders, 20-50 pieces can be discussed after tech pack review. These smaller runs usually cost around 2x normal production unit pricing because development and setup costs are spread over fewer pieces.
