What is the minimum order for custom hoodies?

100 units per style is the floor in our group. Below that you are usually looking at small-batch producers or print-on-demand. Our low MOQ guide shows what a small run costs.

How much does a hoodie cost to make in Portugal?

The cost calculator starts at €14–24 for a hoodie and €12–20 for a sweatshirt, per piece ex-factory at 300–500 units. Embroidery adds about €1.80 a unit, screen print €1.40 and a wash or dye treatment €2.50.

French terry or brushed fleece: which should I choose?

French terry has loops inside and feels drier and lighter; brushed fleece is napped inside and feels warmer. Our French terry guide and fleece guide compare weights and uses.

How long does a hoodie production run take?

Plan on 5 to 7 weeks of production after a sample round of 2 to 3 weeks. Washes add a test step, so brief us at least 12 weeks before a fixed drop date.

Can I make matching t-shirts in the same order?

Yes. The same jersey factories make t-shirts and polos, so a drop of hoodies, sweats and tees can be produced together.

Where it’s made

Where hoodies are made

Terry and fleece are knitted before they are cut, so hoodies are made in the northern jersey towns, close to the mills that knit and brush the fabric.
