Choosing heavyweight blank hoodies for a clothing brand starts with the garment your customer will wear. A larger GSM number does not tell you whether the fit, fabric surface or decoration will suit your collection. Compare an actual style, a measurement chart and a sample before planning your order.
Compare fabric weight and composition together
GSM means grams per square metre of fabric. It describes fabric weight, not the total weight of a finished hoodie. Read it alongside fibre composition and construction. Two hoodies can have similar GSM values but different proportions, finishes and fabric surfaces. Confirm softness, shrinkage expectations and decoration results on the selected sample instead of treating weight as a quality guarantee.
Three hoodie references from our current catalog
These are product references to compare, not interchangeable versions of one hoodie. Specifications below were checked against our product pages on 28 October 2026; confirm the selected colour, size assortment and supply terms when requesting a quotation.
| Style | Listed fabric | Details to compare | Supply check |
|---|---|---|---|
| DY031 — 380 GSM | 36.8% algodón, 57.4% poliéster, 5.8% other fibres | Washed fleece pullover, kangaroo pocket and faded wash placement | Hecho a pedido; Cantidad mínima de pedido, sample cost and timing by quotation |
| DY049A — 400 GSM | 36.8% algodón, 57.4% poliéster, 5.8% other fibres | Wide oversized shape, short proportion, roomy sleeves and gathered hem | Hecho a pedido; Cantidad mínima de pedido, sample cost and timing by quotation |
| DY070 — 520 GSM | 100% algodón | Oversized pullover, drawstring-free hood, dropped shoulders and kangaroo pocket | Confirm colour and size availability and the applicable blank or branded order quantity |
Define the oversized fit with measurements
comprobar el pecho, body length, shoulder and sleeve measurements together. Un cuerpo corto y ancho crea una silueta diferente a la de una sudadera con capucha más larga y de corte holgado. Going up a size is not a substitute for specifying the proportions you want. Before comparing charts, check whether a chest measurement is a flat width or a circumference; do not compare those numbers directly.
Use a reference garment and record the measuring method. Revisa la muestra con la capa que tu cliente normalmente usaría debajo. Also check hood shape, neck opening, puños y dobladillo. Keep the chosen style code and approved size chart with your sample notes.
Plan printing or embroidery on the actual hoodie
Send artwork at its intended dimensions and show its placement relative to seams, the neckline or a pocket. A large chest design needs to be reviewed against the kangaroo pocket and usable area. Sleeve embroidery requires a clear position and orientation. For tonal embroidery, confirm the thread colour against the actual garment colour rather than a screen image alone.
Ask for the proposed process to be assessed on the selected fabric and colourway. Review the sample for placement, legibility, puckering and the feel of the decorated area. Nuestro servicio de personalización de logotipos can review printing and embroidery requirements; feasibility and cost are confirmed for the specific garment and artwork.
Separate stock blanks from made-to-order production
A catalog listing is not a promise that every colour and size is in stock. DY031 and DY049A are made-to-order styles, so their minimum quantities, sample costs and lead times require a quotation. For other styles, confirm availability and whether you need undecorated blanks or ropa de marca privada. Label changes, decoration and packaging should be listed separately in the brief.
Prepare a quotation that can be checked
Send the style code, colour references, quantity in each size, artwork dimensions and placement, label requirements, delivery destination and required delivery window. State what needs approval on the sample. Solicite un presupuesto desglosado que muestre el coste de la prenda por separado de los costes de personalización y etiquetas. Pida que los costes de embalaje y envío se indiquen por separado para poder comparar los cambios con claridad.
Start with the blank hoodie catalog, usa nuestro sample development checklist, then send your hoodie brief. If the existing blanks do not match your required pattern or construction, discuss an ODM full garment development project before choosing a starting quantity.
