If you’re building a brand or simply want the best quality for your team, look no further: the Independent Trading Co. Heavyweight Hood (IND4000) is the undisputed champion of premium blanks. This isn't a basic event handout; it’s retail quality crafted from a dense, robust 10 oz. cotton/poly fleece that offers superior warmth and structure compared to standard hoodies. Its smooth surface and high-quality construction are the ideal canvas for your custom design, which we can apply perfectly using screen printing for a durable, rich, high-end print on bulk orders, DTF (Direct-to-Film) for detailed, full-color graphics on any order size, or a reliable heat press for specialized transfers, ensuring your finished apparel feels like an exclusive piece of merchandise built to be worn and loved for years.
Yes, the Independent Trading Co. Heavyweight Pullover Hood (IND4000) is widely considered to fit true to size, but you should be aware of its specific cut:
Fit Profile: It features a more retail-driven fit than basic wholesale hoodies. It's designed to be slightly roomier and boxier than a typical fashion hoodie, allowing for comfortable layering.
Fabric Weight: Because the fleece is a heavier 10 oz., it naturally has a lot of structure and bulk. This means it will feel substantial and hold its shape well, which can sometimes make it feel slightly larger than a lighter 8 oz. hoodie of the same size.
Production time usually takes 7 to 10 business days after you approve the design proof. Shipping time is added to this, so please plan accordingly for your event date!
For the best results, please submit your artwork as a high-resolution file such as a PNG (with a transparent background) or a vector file (like PDF or AI).
This printing types works best for groups, so our minimum order size is typically 12 garments per design. This ensures you get the best print quality and value.
Screen Printing is like using a stencil and wet paint directly on the shirt; it's slow to set up, but cheap for high volumes and creates the most durable, bold designs. Heat Press Printing is the general method of taking a pre-made design (like vinyl or special paper) and sticking it onto the fabric using a hot press machine. DTF (Direct-to-Film) is the best kind of digital "sticker" within that "Heat Press" category; it prints any color or photo onto a film and then uses the press to apply that complete, versatile design to any type of fabric
