Custom Knit Hoodie Manufacturer
Heavyweight hoodies and knit sweatshirts made to your specification — embroidery, screen print, DTG or a woven badge. Wholesale and private label.
Technical specifications
The hoodie is the one product where weight is the whole conversation
Two hoodies can look identical in a photograph and sit at completely different places in the market, because the fabric weight decides everything: how it drapes, how it washes, how long it lasts.
So the first number to settle is not the logo or the colour. It is the fabric weight and the fleece construction behind it.
We quote hoodies by weight and construction first, then by decoration.
What you customise on a wholesale hoodie
Fabric, fit and decoration are three separate decisions, and getting one wrong is what makes a hoodie feel cheap.
- Fabric weight — light terry through heavy brushed fleece, specified by the number
- Construction — hooded or crew, pullover or full zip, raglan or set-in sleeve
- Fit — classic, relaxed, oversized, or drop shoulder
- Decoration — embroidery, screen print, DTG, heat transfer or a woven badge
- Trims — drawcord, eyelet, rib cuff, kangaroo pocket detail
- Labels and packaging — woven label, neck print, hang tag, polybag
Every option you choose on this style
Anything not listed is still worth asking about — send the reference and we will tell you whether it can be knitted, and what it changes in the quote.
How a custom hoodie order is made
Cut-and-sew, not knitting — and run through the same approval gates.
- Specification — fabric weight, composition and fit confirmed in writing
- Sample — physical sample with your decoration placed on it
- Cutting and sewing — in-house lines, with the first-off piece photographed
- Decoration — applied and checked before finishing
- Inspection and dispatch — measured, photographed, packed and shipped
Wholesale order terms
Why we don't publish a price
A custom product has no universal price. Two orders for what looks like the same sweater can land far apart, because the number is built from the specifics below — and a factory that quotes you a figure before asking these questions has not costed your order at all.
- Yarn and material — acrylic, cotton, wool and cashmere are different products, not the same product at three prices — the fibre decides hand feel, weight and cost together
- Size and fit — a kids' size and an adult 2XL draw different yarn on a different machine setup, and a full size curve spreads the fixed cost differently
- Knitting structure — a plain jersey knit and a textured relief or intarsia panel run at different speeds on different machines — the construction is the single biggest driver of machine time
- Colour count — every additional colour in a jacquard chart means another yarn feed and another colour change on every row, so a 3-colour motif and a 13-colour all-over pattern are not close in cost
- Wastage and yield — complex charts, textured structures and cut-and-sew patterns lose more material on the machine. That loss rate is a real line in the cost, and it moves with the design
- Quantity — pattern charting and machine programming are fixed costs — the longer the run, the thinner they spread across each piece
- Trims and packaging — woven labels, hang tags, foil boxes, polybags and Pantone-matched yarn all add per piece, and each one is a separate quote line

What is the difference between terry and fleece, in practice?
Terry has visible loops on the inside and dries faster, so it suits lighter year-round hoodies. Fleece is brushed on the inside, feels warmer and heavier, and pills more if the yarn is poor. Two hoodies at the same stated weight feel different depending on which one you chose.
Are you a factory or a trading company?
We own the knitting floor in Dalang, Dongguan. Knitting and linking happen on our own machines, and woven work is ours as well. Anything outside those — certain finishing, printing on some materials, hard goods — comes from partner workshops, and we say which is which instead of claiming everything is in-house.
What do you need from me to quote?
Artwork or a reference image, the size range, the quantity you have in mind, and the destination country. A vector file is best but a sketch or a phone photo is enough to start — our CAD team turns it into a knit chart and sends it back for your approval before anything runs.
