AS Colour Kids Supply Hood | 3032

Description

The AS Colour Kids Supply Hood is the youth version of one of the most trusted fleece blanks in custom apparel. At 290GSM in a cotton-polyester blend, it delivers the same print-ready surface and soft interior that makes the adult Supply Hood a staple — scaled down with proportions that actually fit kids properly rather than just shrinking adult patterns.

Who Orders It

Elementary and middle school spirit wear programs choose this for fall fundraisers and team gear. Summer camps and outdoor education programs order it for layering pieces that hold up to daily wear. Youth sports organizations use it for post-game warmups and team travel apparel. Children’s clothing brands building out seasonal collections rely on the consistent sizing and quality hand-feel. Church youth groups and nonprofit kids’ programs order it when the gear needs to last longer than a single event.

Decoration

The cotton-poly blend accepts screen printing cleanly with minimal fibrillation — important for youth sizes where print areas are smaller and detail matters more. The fleece face holds embroidery well at standard stitch counts without excessive puckering. DTG performs reliably on this fabric weight, though pretreatment needs to be lighter than on adult garments given the smaller print areas. The kangaroo pocket provides a secondary decoration location for brands that want front and back coverage.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on youth hoodies?
Screen printing is the most common for youth programs — cost-effective at volume and durable through the washing cycles kids put gear through. Embroidery works well for smaller left-chest logos. DTG is ideal for full-color artwork in smaller runs.

Is this good for school spirit wear programs?
This is one of the most popular youth blanks for school programs. The 290GSM weight is warm enough for fall and spring without being too heavy for indoor wear, and the preshrunk construction means parents aren’t dealing with fit changes after the first wash.

How does the sizing run?
AS Colour youth sizing runs true and consistent across production runs. Size 2 fits most 2-year-olds, scaling up through size 12 for pre-teens. We recommend ordering a size sample if you’re running a large program with mixed ages.

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