AS Colour Stencil Hood | 5102

Description

The AS Colour Stencil Hood is the heavyweight blank that streetwear brands and premium merchandise programs reach for when they need a hoodie that survives real life. At 350GSM in a cotton-poly CVC blend with recycled content, this is not a giveaway hoodie — it’s the piece your customers actually keep wearing. The weight sits in that sweet spot where it feels substantial without becoming a burden, and the preshrunk construction means the fit your customer tries on is the fit they keep.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building collections that justify the price point. Music venues and record labels creating merch people wear until it falls apart. Breweries and craft beverage brands who want their logo on something customers reach for on weekends. Nonprofits running donor appreciation programs. Creative agencies outfitting their teams. Schools and universities producing alumni gear that actually gets worn post-graduation. Skate shops and action sports brands where durability is non-negotiable.

Decoration

The 350GSM weight and tight fleece interior make this hoodie exceptionally stable for embroidery — holds high stitch counts without puckering and the cotton-rich face takes thread color accurately. Screen printing lays down clean with excellent ink adhesion on the CVC blend. DTG prints well on the natural cotton content, though expect slightly more saturation time on darker colorways. The kangaroo pocket and hood lining are fully accessible for interior branding if your program calls for it. Double-needle stitching at seams means your decoration won’t be sitting next to a blown seam two years from now.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the Stencil Hood?
All three primary methods work well. Embroidery is the standout — the heavyweight fleece provides excellent stability for detailed logos. Screen printing gives you bold, durable coverage. DTG works cleanly on the cotton-rich surface for photographic or complex artwork.

Is this good for retail-quality brand merchandise?
Yes — this is specifically what the 5102 is built for. The 350GSM weight, recycled content, and preshrunk construction put it in the premium blank category. Brands selling hoodies at $60+ retail price points use this as their base.
