Hoodie and sweatshirt fabrics are chosen around warmth, body, drape, surface, stretch and whether the back is brushed or bonded.
Define season, target garment weight and whether a brushed back is required.
Specify stretch, face smoothness and finishing route.
Confirm pilling, dimensional stability and colour-fastness targets where relevant.
For winter-weight sweatshirts, prioritise body and brushed/bonded options; for lighter hoodies, start with stable mid-weight double jerseys.
Ranking is deterministic and uses only current catalogue data: exact end-use tags, construction, stretch, GSM fit, family and listed properties. It is a sourcing shortlist, not a claim that one fabric is universally best.
Send the garment, GSM, width, stretch, finish, volume and testing requirements.
