Expert Tips for Ordering Custom Sweatshirts
Smart tips from our team to help you get the best value, fit, and results from your personalized sweatshirt order.
Do Not Overlook Small Details that Matter
We offer 500+ different sweatshirts styles, and that's for good reason. The style of the sweatshirt, like a crewneck or full-zip, is important. The weight, fabric content, and sleeve type also affect how comfortable it is. Be sure to keep these details in mind when selecting your sweatshirt.
Do Not Choose Based on Price Alone
Often, for a small extra cost, you can get an upgraded product. It may be softer, better fitted, and longer lasting than a cheaper option. Think about what matters most to you to get what you need, and avoid spending more than you’re willing to pay for an item that doesn't fit your budget.
When buying for groups, choose what is safe.
If you are buying for a group or plan to resell, choose a mid-weight sweatshirt. It should have standard shoulders and a standard fit. It makes it easier than explaining size or cut differences to each person you need a size from.
Mix and Match Styles
People like different styles. Men often prefer hoodies, women choose crewnecks to avoid hood bulk, and quarter-zips are less restrictive. Offering multiple options ensures everyone gets a sweatshirt they enjoy, not just the style you picked.

A sweatshirt is typically made from cotton or cotton-blend and has a soft, lightweight fleece type material on the inside. It's designed to be comfortable and typically have a more casual vibe. Sweatshirts come in different styles with the most popular being crewneck, hooded, 1/4 zips and full zip. Sweatshirts are worn year-round.
A sweater, on the other hand, is usually knit from yarn (like wool, acrylic, or cotton) and has a more textured, woven look. Sweaters tend to have a more elevated, fashion forward look and can easily be dressed up or down. Sweaters are typically worn in colder months as they are designed to provide warmth. Due to the texture, traditional sweaters are rarely customized.
Fun Fact: While a sweatshirt typically means just that, people use the word sweater interchangeably. In some regions of the US, they use the word sweater to simply mean a warm top.
