Independent Trading Co. Women’s Lightweight Crop Hooded Sweatshirt | AFX64CRP

Description

The Independent Trading Co. AFX64CRP is a cropped silhouette that reads current without chasing trends. The cotton-polyester CVC blend gives you the soft hand-feel of cotton with the durability and color retention of poly — a combination that matters when you’re building a merch line meant to last beyond launch day. Lightweight fleece construction keeps it layerable year-round, while the relaxed crop cut hits at the natural waist for a contemporary fit.

Who Orders It

Fitness studios and yoga brands building athleisure collections. Dance programs and cheer squads wanting something their athletes will actually wear off the floor. Streetwear labels and independent clothing brands launching women’s capsules. Music venues and festival merch programs. Sororities and campus organizations. Boutique gyms and wellness brands that need branded gear their members want to keep.

Decoration

The CVC fleece front panel takes screen printing cleanly — expect good ink adhesion with minimal hand-feel change at standard coverage. DTG prints well on the cotton-dominant blend, though white-ink underbase on darker colors may show slight texture. Embroidery works on the front and upper back, but keep stitch counts moderate — the lightweight fleece doesn’t support heavy-density designs the way a heavyweight hoodie would. Left chest logos and small back-neck hits are the sweet spot. The hood interior is smooth enough for tagless heat-transfer labels.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this hoodie?
Screen printing gives the cleanest results on the fleece face. DTG is solid for detailed or photographic prints. Keep embroidery to moderate stitch counts — this is lightweight fleece, not heavyweight canvas.

Is this good for gym or fitness brand merch?
Yes — the crop cut and lightweight fleece make it a natural fit for athleisure and studio wear. It layers well over sports bras and tanks without bulk.

How does the sizing run?
Relaxed fit with a cropped length. Preshrunk fabric means what you order is what you get after washing. Size up if your customers prefer extra length through the torso.
