AS Colour Kids Relax Zip Hood | 3038

Description

The AS Colour Kids Relax Zip Hood is the youth counterpart to one of the most reliable fleece blanks in the AS Colour lineup. At 320GSM in a cotton-polyester CVC blend with recycled content, it delivers the kind of midweight warmth that works for school mornings, camp evenings, and sideline layering — without the bulk that makes kids overheat indoors. The relaxed fit gives room to move while the preshrunk construction means the hoodie you decorate is the hoodie they keep wearing six months later.

Who Orders It

School spirit programs use the 3038 as the go-to hoodie for elementary and middle school fundraisers — it survives playground wear and weekly washing. Youth sports organizations order it for team warmups and tournament giveaways. Summer camps and outdoor education programs choose it for evening layers that hold up through a full season. Children’s apparel brands use it as the foundation for decorated collections. Dance studios, youth ministry groups, and nonprofit mentorship programs order it when they need something parents will actually let kids wear repeatedly.

Decoration

The 320GSM fleece face holds embroidery cleanly at standard youth-scale designs — left chest logos stay crisp without puckering. Screen printing lays down smoothly on the cotton-rich surface with good ink adhesion and minimal bleed. DTG works well for full-color artwork, though allow for the heathered appearance on certain colorways. The CVC blend means slightly less vibrancy than 100% cotton but better shape retention through the wash cycles youth apparel actually sees. For zip hoodies, back prints work best positioned below the yoke to avoid the center seam.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 3038?
Embroidery and screen printing both perform well. The 320GSM weight supports embroidery without distortion, and the cotton-rich face takes screen print ink with clean edges. DTG is viable for detailed artwork — just account for the blend when setting color expectations.

Is this good for school spirit wear programs?
This is exactly what it’s built for. The preshrunk construction and reinforced stitching mean it holds up to the way kids actually wear hoodies. Parents appreciate that it maintains its shape and decoration through constant washing.

How does the sizing run?
The relaxed fit runs true to standard youth sizing with room for layering underneath. It’s cut for comfort rather than slim, which works better for the age range and allows for growth room.
