The Best Custom Hoodies: A Buyer's Guide

After the humble tee, the hoodie is the most popular thing people print — for good reason. It's comfortable, it's a big canvas for a design, and it gets worn constantly. But "hoodie" covers everything from a light everyday layer to a 500 GSM heavyweight, so picking the right blank makes all the difference. Here's a plain-English guide to the best custom hoodies at Custom Fox, and how to choose.

How to choose a hoodie

Three things decide it:

• Weight (GSM) — higher GSM means thicker, warmer and more premium-feeling. Lighter is better for layering and milder weather.
• Fit — regular (classic), relaxed/drop-shoulder (streetwear look), oversized (on-trend), or boxy/cropped.
• Budget — from value blends to premium heavyweight cotton, there's a price point for every run.

Best value: Gildan Heavy Blend Hoodie

271 GSM, 50/50 cotton-polyester blend, classic fit. The go-to when you need to kit out a big group without blowing the budget — warm, reliable and easy to print. Ideal for teams, events and merch runs. See the Gildan Heavy Blend Hoodie.

The everyday staple: AS Colour Supply Hoodie

350 GSM, regular fit, brushed cotton-faced fleece. The most popular all-rounder — a premium feel at a sensible price, in a huge colour range. If you want one hoodie that suits almost any design or brand, start here. See the Supply Hoodie.

The streetwear look: AS Colour Relax Hoodie

A relaxed, drop-shoulder fit in soft cotton-faced fleece. The casual, slightly slouchy silhouette people actually want to wear out — great for modern brand merch and bigger front or back prints. See the Relax Hoodie.

Heavyweight and oversized: AS Colour Heavy Hoodie

400 GSM heavyweight fleece in an oversized fit. This is the on-trend, substantial hoodie — thick, structured and premium, perfect for a fashion-led drop or a statement piece. See the Heavy Hoodie.

The premium pick: AS Colour Made Hoodie

500 GSM, 100% cotton French Terry — the heaviest, most luxurious hoodie in the range. If you want a top-tier, retail-quality piece that feels expensive, this is it. See the Made Hoodie.

On-trend faded: AS Colour Relax Faded Hoodie

Garment-dyed for a washed, vintage look, in a relaxed drop-shoulder fit. Perfect for that lived-in, streetwear aesthetic that's big right now. See the Relax Faded Hoodie.

Boxy and cropped: AS Colour Box Hood

A modern boxy fit with a shorter length and dropped shoulders — the fashion-forward cut for a contemporary look. See the Box Hood.

The clean classic: AS Colour Stencil Hoodie

A straightforward, well-cut hoodie in a regular fit — a no-fuss option when you want the design to do the talking. See the Stencil Hoodie.

Prefer a crew? Sweatshirts and crewnecks

Not everyone wants a hood. The same fleece in a crewneck is a tidier look for uniforms and corporate gear, and the flat front panel gives a logo more room to sit properly — no drawstring cutting through it. If you are torn between the two, our crewneck vs hoodie comparison walks through print area, layering, warmth, cost and sizing across a group.

The crew range: the Supply Crew, the Stencil Crew, the relaxed Relax Crew, or the budget-friendly Gildan Heavy Blend Crewneck. Browse the full custom sweatshirts range, or see all hoodies and sweatshirts together.

Women's, men's and kids

Most styles come in women's cuts — the Women's Supply, Women's Relax, Women's Heavy and Women's Box hoodies, plus the cropped Relax Crop and garment-dyed Relax Faded. There are women's crews too, including the Supply Crew, Relax Crew, Heavy Crew and Relax Crop Crew. Shop the whole women's hoodies and sweatshirts range, or the men's hoodies and sweatshirts.

For the little ones there's the Youth Supply Hoodie and the Kids Supply Hoodie in our kids range — so you can match a whole family, team or club across every size.
