Custom Hoodie Selection 101: How to Choose the Right Hoodie Weight<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Hoodies, aka hooded sweatshirts, come in three different weights, and when choosing a hoodie to custom decorate, weight matters. The weight is based on the actual thread count of the fabric used to make the sweatshirt. The heavier the thread weight, the heavier the hoodie. Choosing the correct weight of custom decorated hoodie dramatically impacts how warm a hoodie will keep you and how bulky it will feel.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022<\/strong> Custom Decorated Lightweight Hoodie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular choice<\/strong>:Next\nLevel 9301 French Terry Hoodie<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightweight hoodies, like this 5.3 ounce French Terry, are great for indoor wear and for layering with T-shirts. As a general rule, these sweatshirts are soft, comfortable, and move easily with your body. Choose these hoodies for a fashionable custom look, to stay comfortable in an overly air conditioned room or under-heated room, or when the temperature outside cools a few degrees during later spring, summer and early fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suggested Uses: <\/strong>
\nSummer and early fall evenings, layering, lounging, casual events<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Temperature is it Best For?<\/strong>
\n60 degrees F and warmer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Our Staff Says:<\/strong>
\u201cThis is one of my favorite custom hoodies! It\u2019s super soft, comfortable and isn\u2019t bulky. My customers love it! Just don\u2019t choose this lightweight to shovel snow on a cold winter day \u2014 unless you add a layer on a top of it.\u201d\u2014Kortni Remer, Customer Service Team<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Custom Decorated Midweight Hoodie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular Choice<\/strong>: Port\n& Company PC850H Midweight Fan Favorite Hoodie<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midweight hoodies are able to keep most people comfortable on most spring and fall days, particularly when exercising or playing outdoors. They are also a good choice in cool, drafty buildings. As a general rule, they are soft and comfortable, but feel a little thicker to the touch than a 6-ounce lightweight hoodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suggested Uses:<\/strong>
\nCrisp fall evenings, fall\/spring athletic events, everyday use in cooler months<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Temperature is it Best For?<\/strong>
\nBetween 55-70 Degrees F<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Our Staff Says:<\/strong>
\u201cThis is a great soft hoodie for anyone that wants to stay warm on the sidelines or in the stands. Great for fall sports, inside and outside. This is a great all around hoodie and if you are wanting to get a lot of use from a hoodie, you can\u2019t go wrong with this one.\u201d\u2014Megan Logan, Customer Service Team<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Custom Decorated Heavyweight Hoodie:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular Choice<\/strong>: Sport-Tek F281 12oz Super Heavyweight\nHoodie<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavyweight hoodies are best for outdoor use or in cooler environments, such as an ice arena or a building without much heat. These hoodies are thick and warm, and are wonderful to wear when sitting outside watching a soccer or football game. As a general rule, heavyweight hoodies don\u2019t feel quite as soft as lighter hoodies due to their extra thickness.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suggested Uses:<\/strong>
\nWorking outside in cold weather, watching hockey games, outdoor activities on\ncool days<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Temperature is it Best For?<\/strong>
\nColder than 60 Degrees F<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Our Staff Says:<\/strong>
\u201cIf you are stuck on the side of the road in the winter months doing construction, landscaping or anything outside, this is a great hoodie choice. I would recommend this item when it\u2019s below 60 degrees to keep you warm. If it\u2019s warmer than that, you might be too hot.\u201d\u2014Mary Sample, Customer Service Team<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
