420gsm Garment-Dye Premium Hoodie — Long-Staple Fleece for Elevated Essentials Labels

This 420 gsm garment-dye hoodie targets elevated essentials labels, combining long-staple cotton-rich fleece with trims specified to survive garment dyeing without shade drift. Garment dyeing gives the lived-in depth of color that piece-dyed bulk production cannot match, a look premium shoppers actively search for. Lead times include lab-dip and dye-batch windows, planned with you at PO stage.

Good to know

• Garment-dyed fleece softens after the first two washes and settles to its final shade; include a care card to set customer expectations.
• This garment-dye premium sits at the top of the hoodie range here; the dye process adds lead time but delivers shade depth that piece-dyed production cannot replicate.
• Minimum commitment sits at 120 pcs per colorway, with 12–16 days (incl. lab dips) for the first prototype round; re-orders after a season typically skip re-sampling and land inside the 30–38 days after dye approval window.

Every lot moves through staged QC checkpoints. Fleece weight is checked against the 420 gsm specification roll by roll, the full Men S–2XL run is measured against the approved sample, and the inspection report is shared before goods leave the floor. Pieces outside tolerance are remade at our cost, and third-party inspection at final packing is supported.
