I would like to know whose hooded sweatshirt is the best and cheapest, Gildan, Hanes, Fruit of the Looms? I am thinking of purchasing some but I really want the best quality for a good price. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Re: Whose hooded sweatshirt is the best and cheapest
Im doing alot of research on this as well, one you dont have on that list that you should also consider is American Apparel, I havent handled their fleece hoodies but from the looks of them they look very high quality. I cant give an opinion of my own because I havent had all of these brand in front of me and printed on them though.

Re: Whose hooded sweatshirt is the best and cheapest
For a basic hoody I like the Gildan 12500. 50/50 9 ounce. Prints and washes great. I make a good profit on them. I've used FOL, Hanes and District Threads and have not found one I like better.
Re: Whose hooded sweatshirt is the best and cheapest
It all matters on the fit and weight. AA, AAA, ITC, have more of a fitted cut depending on the style and usually are more expensive and lighter weight. I use Gildan for the price and profit margin.
Re: Whose hooded sweatshirt is the best and cheapest
I used to say Gildans were my favorite for a basic hoodie. But since I started getting Gildans with grease stains, holes, seams coming loose etc, I've been printing on Jerzees Heavyweight. They are WAY nicer than the Gildans. Much heavier and just all around better quality.
