AS Colour Made Hood | 5151

Description

The AS Colour Made Hood is the heaviest blank hoodie we stock — 500GSM of 100% cotton that feels substantial without being stiff. This is the weight streetwear brands chase when they want their hoodies to feel like a product, not a giveaway. The relaxed fit and preshrunk construction mean it holds its shape and size through the kind of repeated washing that destroys lighter blanks.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building collections that justify premium pricing. Music venues and artists who want merch that becomes wardrobe-regular. Skate and surf brands that need durability to match the lifestyle. Creative agencies ordering team apparel that actually gets worn. Nonprofit organizations running donor appreciation programs where the gift needs to feel valuable. Coffee roasters and breweries building brand loyalty through quality goods.

Decoration

The 500GSM weight handles high-stitch-count embroidery without puckering — run up to 15,000 stitches on the chest with confidence. Screen printing sits clean on the cotton face, and the fabric weight prevents ghosting on darker colorways. DTG works well given the 100% cotton construction, though the heavier weight means slightly longer cure times. The kangaroo pocket requires careful placement planning for front chest prints — measure your art against pocket position before production.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5151?
Embroidery and screen printing both perform exceptionally on this weight. The dense cotton holds thread tension for detailed embroidery, and the fabric weight gives screen prints a premium hand-feel. DTG is viable but works best on lighter colorways.

Is this good for streetwear brand launches?
This is the hoodie for streetwear launches. The 500GSM weight matches what buyers expect from $80+ retail hoodies, and the relaxed fit photographs well for lookbooks and product shots.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a relaxed, contemporary fit. Not boxy like traditional blanks — it has the proportions of a retail garment. The preshrunk construction means what you order is what you get after washing.
