AS Colour Youth Relax Zip Hood | 3039

Description

The AS Colour Youth Relax Zip Hood brings the same fabric quality and construction standards of their adult program down to youth sizes. At 320GSM, this is a midweight fleece that holds up to the kind of wear kids put garments through — washed weekly, thrown in gym bags, worn to practice. The cotton-poly blend with recycled content gives you a blank that parents appreciate and decorators can count on for consistent results across order runs.

Who Orders It

School spirit programs building varsity-style merch for younger students. Youth athletic leagues needing sideline warm-ups that match the adult coaching staff. Summer camps running full-program apparel packages. Children’s clothing brands testing designs before committing to cut-and-sew. Dance studios and youth cheer programs wanting a relaxed layering piece. Nonprofit youth organizations building belonging through branded gear.

Decoration

The 320GSM fleece face takes screen printing cleanly — use a flash cure between passes on dark colorways. The relaxed fit means less tension across the chest panel, which helps embroidery sit flat without puckering. DTG works well on the lighter colorways; expect slightly more ink absorption than adult tees due to the fleece surface. The zipper placket requires planning for left-chest placement — keep designs at least 2 inches from the zipper edge. Heat transfer vinyl adheres well but avoid high-stretch areas near the raglan seams.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on youth hoodies?
Screen printing is the most durable option for youth apparel that gets washed frequently. Embroidery works well for smaller left-chest logos. For full-color photographic designs, DTG on lighter colorways gives the best results.

Is this good for school fundraiser merchandise?
Yes — the 320GSM weight hits the sweet spot for fundraiser pricing while still feeling like quality merch parents will actually let kids wear. The relaxed fit means you can size up slightly and get more wear-life out of growing kids.

How does the sizing run?
AS Colour youth sizing runs true to standard US youth sizes. The relaxed fit adds room through the body compared to fitted youth hoodies. Size 4 fits most 4–5 year olds; size 14 fits most 13–14 year olds.

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