Casualwear / Hoodie & Sweatshirt Sets
Custom Hoodies & Sweatshirts Manufacturer
WSL Apparels produces custom hoodies and sweatshirt sets for brands and sourcing teams, from 500 pieces per style and colour. Send a tech pack and we return a counter sample before bulk. Production runs in China for speed and Bangladesh for volume, with final inspection to AQL 2.5.
01 — Fabric
Fabric specifications
Weight follows the season, composition follows your market. These are the bases we work with most on this lane.
Spring / Summer
Interlock, scuba, French terry and sweatshirt fleece, loop-back or lightly brushed. Composition follows local consumer preference — Modal for premium, viscose as the accessible alternative, cotton for everyday comfort.
Autumn / Winter
Brushed-back sweatshirt fleece with cotton leading. Cotton holds heat better and takes color with more depth; the brushed inner surface adds insulation without extra weight, and cotton does not build static.
02 — Decoration
Finish options
Brushed fleece, unbrushed fleece and loop-back terry do not accept decoration the same way. We test the combination on a sample before bulk.
Printed
Screen print, puff print, heat transfer, DTG, sublimation, reflective print
Stitched
Direct embroidery, applique, woven patches, contrast piping
Washed and textured
Garment wash, enzyme wash, tie-dye, embossing, jacquard
Trims and hardware
Rib cuffs and hem, drawcords, custom zippers, branded pulls
Private label
Woven labels, printed labels, rhinestone and hot drill detailing

05 — Quality
Quality comes first
We treat quality as a fixed requirement rather than something that flexes with the price we are asked to hit. We prefer to supply a stronger garment at a comparable price instead of trimming the specification to chase a cheaper quote.
Material approval
Weight, color performance, handfeel and compliance signed off ahead of bulk cutting, not found out on arrival.
Cut and sew control
Alignment, construction accuracy and workmanship managed panel by panel along the line.
Checks during production
Problems identified while the run is ongoing, not picked out afterwards.
Pre-shipment audit
AQL 2.5 random inspection, results logged before the goods leave. Same benchmark on re-orders.
Best fit for
Seasonal hoodie programmes with clear direction · Oversized or cropped silhouettes · Washed or decorated sets · Brands planning China sampling and Bangladesh repeats
Not ideal for
Orders below 500 pcs per style/color · Fully fashioned sweater knitting · Bulk delivery under 15 days
06 — Cost
What drives your unit price
Five variables decide almost every hoodie quote. Knowing them before you write in saves a full round of emails.
Fabric and GSM
A 280gsm fleece and a 450gsm heavyweight fleece are different fabrics at different prices, and heavier cloth changes both cost and sewing time. Which of the two fits your programme depends on the channel you sell through — see how to choose between 380–450gsm and 260–320gsm.
Quantity per style / color
Development cost spreads over more units, so unit price drops as the run grows. Below the threshold, setup charges dominate.
Decoration complexity
Puff print, embroidery, applique, garment dye and washing each add operations — and every added operation adds a place for defects.
Base selection
China quotes faster with a lower MOQ; Bangladesh wins on unit cost once a style clears roughly 3,000 pieces and repeats seasonally.
Trims and packaging
Custom drawcords, woven labels, printed hangtags and branded polybags add sourcing time — sometimes more than the garment itself.
07 — Questions
Manufacturing FAQ
What hoodie types can you manufacture?
We manufacture pullovers, zip-ups, cropped hoodies, oversized hoodies, crewnecks, joggers, and hoodie sets.
Can you do oversized and cropped fits?
Yes. Send a measurement chart or reference sample so we can develop the correct shoulder, length, and body proportions.
Which base should I use?
Use China for sampling, complex wash or decoration, urgent production, and 500 pcs MOQ. Use Bangladesh for stable repeat volume from 3000 pcs.
What is the minimum order quantity?
China production starts from 500 pcs per style/color. The exact figure is confirmed against your fabric weight, wash and decoration, because a heavyweight washed fleece and a simple unbrushed terry carry very different setup requirements. Bangladesh production is planned from 3000 pcs per style/color.
How long does sampling take?
Most samples take 7-10 days after the tech pack, fabric direction, and measurements are confirmed.
What quality standards do you hold?
Quality is treated as a precondition rather than a variable. Fabric weight, color performance, handfeel and compliance are approved before bulk cutting, workmanship is controlled while production is running, and finished goods are inspected to AQL 2.5 before shipment. Materials can be sourced to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 requirements where your market requires it, and the same checks apply to first orders and repeat orders.
Which decoration methods can you apply?
Screen print, puff print, embroidery, applique, heat transfer, DTG, sublimation, garment and enzyme wash, tie-dye, rhinestone, reflective print, embossing and jacquard, plus rib trims, drawcords, custom zippers and private labels. We flag the cost and lead time impact of each before quoting.
Can you help me choose the right fabric?
Yes. We set the weight by season, 200 to 240 GSM for spring and summer and 260 to 500 GSM brushed-back fleece for autumn and winter, then narrow the composition against your market: Modal-led for a premium hand, viscose as a more accessible alternative, and cotton-led terry or fleece for everyday comfort.
