AS Colour Wo’s Relax Zip Hood | 4162

Description

The AS Colour 4162 Relax Zip Hood is the women’s fleece blank that doesn’t compromise on weight or structure. At 320GSM in a cotton-poly CVC blend with recycled content, it delivers the kind of substantial hand-feel that justifies custom decoration — this isn’t a throwaway promo piece. The relaxed fit sits comfortable without drowning the frame, and the preshrunk fabric means what you print stays where you printed it.

Who Orders It

Yoga studios and wellness brands building member merchandise. Creative agencies outfitting their teams. Nonprofits running donor appreciation programs. Boutique fitness studios that want something better than the standard hoodie handout. Music venues and independent labels creating artist merch. Coffee roasters and specialty retailers building brand loyalty through wearables their customers actually keep.

Decoration

The 320GSM fleece provides excellent stability for both embroidery and screen printing. The CVC blend accepts plastisol and water-based inks cleanly — expect solid opacity on darker colorways without excessive buildup. For embroidery, the structured fleece holds stitches at higher densities without puckering, making it suitable for detailed left-chest logos or larger back pieces. DTG performs well on lighter colors; on darks, pretreatment is standard. The full-zip construction means you’re working with front panels rather than a continuous surface — plan placement accordingly.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best?
Screen printing and embroidery both perform well on the 320GSM fleece. For logos under 10,000 stitches, embroidery is clean and durable. For larger graphics or multi-color designs, screen printing gives you the most flexibility.

Is this good for staff uniforms or team apparel?
Yes — the relaxed fit works across body types without sizing complications, and the preshrunk construction means consistent sizing from first wear through repeated laundering. Popular for creative teams, studio staff, and front-of-house hospitality.

How does the sizing run?
True to size in a relaxed fit. The dropped shoulder and roomier body mean it’s not fitted — size down if you want a closer silhouette, stay true to size for the intended relaxed drape.
