AS Colour Heavy Hood | 5146

Description

The AS Colour Heavy Hood is the blank you reach for when the standard 280GSM fleece feels too thin for the project. At 400GSM, this is a genuinely heavyweight garment — the kind of substantial cotton-blend fleece that streetwear brands build collections around. The oversized cut and recycled fiber content signal intention: this isn’t a promotional giveaway hoodie, it’s apparel people keep wearing.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels launching limited drops. Music venues building premium merch lines. Creative agencies outfitting their teams in something that doesn’t look like corporate standard-issue. Nonprofit organizations running donor appreciation programs where the garment quality reflects the mission. Breweries and coffee roasters who want their branded gear to become a customer’s favorite hoodie, not something that ends up in a donation pile.

Decoration

The 400GSM weight and cotton-poly blend make this ideal for embroidery — the dense fleece holds high-stitch-count designs without puckering. DTG prints cleanly on the cotton face, though expect slight texture from the fleece surface. Screen printing works well for bold designs; the heavyweight fabric doesn’t shift during production runs. The oversized fit means chest prints have room to breathe — size up your artwork accordingly.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5146?
Embroidery is the standout choice — the dense 400GSM fleece holds intricate designs without any backing show-through. Screen printing and DTG both work well for chest and back prints. For small logo placements, embroidery delivers the cleanest result.

Is this good for retail-quality branded merch?
Yes — this is specifically built for that application. The weight, the recycled content, the oversized cut all position it as a premium retail product rather than a promotional item. Customers recognize the quality difference.

How does the sizing run?
The 5146 is cut oversized by design. If your buyers prefer a traditional fit, consider sizing down. For the intended relaxed streetwear silhouette, order true to size.

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.
