AS Colour Wo’s Heavy Hood | 4146

Description

The AS Colour Women’s Heavy Hood is the kind of blank that changes how people think about custom apparel. At 400GSM, this is a substantial garment — the weight you feel the moment you pick it up. The cotton-poly blend with recycled content delivers warmth without stiffness, and the relaxed silhouette fits the way premium streetwear should: comfortable from day one, better after every wash.

Who Orders It

Creative studios and design agencies building staff apparel that people actually want to wear. Yoga and wellness brands launching retail-quality merch lines. Nonprofit organizations creating donor appreciation items that feel like real gifts. Women-owned businesses outfitting their teams with something that reflects the quality of their work. Boutique fitness studios and dance programs. Music venues and artist merch drops where the hoodie needs to stand alone as a product, not just a carrier for a logo.

Decoration

The structured fleece face accepts screen printing with excellent ink laydown — colors stay vibrant and edges stay sharp. For embroidery, the 400GSM weight means you can run higher stitch counts without puckering or distortion. DTG prints cleanly on the cotton-dominant face, though expect a slightly softer hand-feel on the print area. The relaxed fit gives you generous chest and back placement options. One consideration: the heavier weight means slightly longer flash times on press, but the payoff is a print that moves with the fabric instead of sitting on top of it.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this hoodie?
Screen printing is the standout choice — the dense fleece face holds ink beautifully and the weight prevents bleed-through. Embroidery works exceptionally well given the fabric density. DTG is viable on lighter colorways with proper pretreatment.

Is this good for retail merch programs?
This is exactly what the 4146 is built for. The weight, fit, and construction quality put it in line with $80+ retail hoodies. Your customers will keep this one.

How does the sizing run?
The relaxed fit runs true but with intentional ease through the body and shoulders. If your program spans multiple body types, the relaxed silhouette tends to work well without needing to size up.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
