Hoodies and sweaters are wardrobe essentials that work across seasons. The category includes pullover hoodies, zip-up hoodies, crewneck sweaters, cardigans, and knitwear. Key considerations include material weight (GSM), fit type, and print quality.
Pullover Hoodies: Most common style. Check GSM (fabric weight), print method, and kangaroo pocket construction
Zip-Up Hoodies: Pay attention to zipper quality and alignment — a cheap zipper ruins the whole piece
Crewneck Sweaters: Focus on knit density, neck ribbing, and overall shape retention
Knitwear: Material composition matters most. Check if it is cotton, wool blend, or synthetic
Sizing & Fit Guide for Hoodies/Sweaters
Hoodie sizing is best evaluated using chest width and length measurements. Request QC photos with a measuring tape showing chest width (pit-to-pit) and total length. Compare these to a hoodie you already own and like the fit of. For oversized styles, the chest measurement may be 10-15cm larger than your normal size — this is intentional.
Common Mistakes When Buying Hoodies/Sweaters
Not checking GSM — a 280GSM hoodie feels completely different from a 450GSM one
Ignoring print method — screen print, embroidery, and DTG all have different durability and look
Assuming 'oversized fit' means size down — some pieces are intentionally oversized and sizing down ruins the silhouette
Not checking sleeve and body length separately — hoodie sizing can be inconsistent between length and width

Hoodies and sweaters are moderate-weight items (typically 500-900g each). They compress well for shipping, but heavy winter hoodies can add up quickly in a multi-item haul. Plan your haul weight accordingly.
