AS Colour Supply Hood | 5101

Description

The AS Colour Supply Hood sits in the sweet spot between heavyweight fleece and lightweight loungewear — 290GSM cotton-poly construction that holds up to daily wear without the bulk that fights your print. The blend matters here: enough cotton for a soft hand-feel and clean ink absorption, enough polyester for shape retention through months of washing. This is the hoodie that shows up in brand collections because it photographs well, fits consistently, and doesn’t pill out after a season.

Who Orders It

Music venues and record labels building merch runs that need to look good on stage and in the crowd. Creative agencies outfitting their teams with something better than generic corporate fleece. Coffee roasters and craft breweries wanting hood programs that match their brand’s aesthetic. Nonprofit organizations running fundraiser campaigns where the product quality reflects the mission. Streetwear startups launching their first capsule collection. Surf and skate shops stocking house brand apparel.

Decoration

The cotton-facing exterior takes screen print ink cleanly — expect solid opacity on darks and sharp detail on lighter colorways. DTG performs well on the cotton-dominant face, though the poly content means proper pretreatment is essential for wash durability. Embroidery sits flat on the chest and back panels without excessive puckering; the 290GSM weight provides enough body to stabilize stitching up to 12,000 counts. For left-chest logos and sleeve hits, back the area with proper stabilizer and you’ll get professional results. The kangaroo pocket can be printed but requires specialized platen work — talk to your decorator about pocket-specific setup.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the Supply Hood?
Screen printing delivers the most durable results on this blend. The cotton-facing exterior accepts plastisol and water-based inks cleanly. DTG works well with proper pretreatment. Embroidery holds up to about 12,000 stitches without distortion on chest and back placements.

Is this good for retail-quality brand merch?
Yes — this is one of the most popular blanks for brands that sell hoodies rather than just give them away. The fit photographs well, the fabric doesn’t look cheap on camera, and the construction survives the kind of repeated wear that retail customers expect.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular fit. AS Colour sizing tends slightly more tailored than American basics — if your customers prefer an oversized look, consider sizing up. Consistent across production runs, which matters for reorders.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated hoodie programs start at 24–50 pieces for optimal per-unit pricing. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
