50-piece minimum per design · Mixed sizes · We never share your details
Twenty minutes with the first carton tells you almost everything. Here is what to look at and where the line between fault and variation sits.
A first bulk hoodie order runs through six stages. Here is what happens at each one and which of them you control.
A vague brief produces a figure that changes later. Here are the nine things to state so the first quote you get is the one you pay.
Two quotes rarely price the same thing. Here is how to read a hoodie quote line by line and work out what it actually covers.
The unit price is about two thirds of what you will spend. Here is how to build a hoodie budget that survives contact with the invoice.
Margin starts from the landed cost, not the quoted unit price. Here is how to work out what a hoodie really costs you before you price it.
Collecting sizes badly is what turns a hoodie hand-out into a morning of swapping. Here is the process that avoids it.
Gym hoodies start from £30 a piece at the 50-piece minimum. Here is what moves that number, and where staff kit and member merch differ.
Production is 10 to 15 working days from artwork approval. For a gym, the question is what happens in the fortnight before that.
An even split across seven sizes is how gyms end up with a shelf of unsold XS. Here is a better way to allocate 50 pieces.
Gym kit gets washed more than almost any branded garment. Here is how print and embroidery compare on fleece that lives in a laundry basket.
A sample costs £150 and comes back off the bulk order. Here is exactly what a gym should check before committing to 50 pieces.
A second gym hoodie run is easy to get wrong: fabric dye lots move, artwork gets lost, and the 50-piece minimum starts again on every design.
Leavers hoodies start from £30 a piece at the 50-piece minimum, and the per-pupil number drops steadily as the year group signs up.
The production window for school hoodies is fixed at 10 to 15 working days. Everything that makes schools miss a date happens before it starts.
Most leftover school hoodies are the result of a size split guessed in a staff room rather than collected from the cohort.
Most leavers hoodies end up with both: an embroidered crest that lasts and a printed back list that would be impossible to stitch.
A sample is the only point at which a school can change its mind cheaply, and it costs £150 that is credited against the bulk order.
Schools reorder hoodies on an annual cycle, which makes the file you leave behind more valuable than the hoodies themselves.
Event hoodies start from £30 a piece at fifty, but crew kit and sale merch are two different budget decisions with different risks.
An event date is the one deadline that cannot be renegotiated, which changes how you should plan a hoodie order around it.
Crew hoodies are sized from a list of names. Merch hoodies are sized from a guess, and the two should never share a split.
Event artwork tends to be large, loud and full of colour, which points at print rather than embroidery for almost every placement.
For merch you intend to sell, a sample is a product photograph and a quality check in one. For crew kit, it is a fit reference.
You cannot restock during an event, so reordering is either next year's job or a decision you should have made at the first order.
For a charity the unit cost is only half the question. The other half is what the hoodie has to sell for to be worth running at all.
Charity orders rarely slip in production. They slip while a design waits for a committee that meets once a month.
Charities size for two groups at once: volunteers whose names you know, and supporters whose bodies you are guessing at.
A charity hoodie usually carries more than one mark: a logo, a registered number, sometimes a sponsor. Each placement is a decision.
A charity spends donated money, which is the strongest argument there is for seeing the garment before the run is committed.
The second charity hoodie run is where the margin is, because the guessing has already been done and the data is sitting in front of you.
A band hoodie is the highest-margin item on most merch tables, and also the one most likely to be sitting in a van at the end of a tour.
Tour merch has a hard deadline. Work back from the first show: 10-15 working days of production, transit on top, and artwork signed off before any of it starts.
Band crowds do not buy the same size curve a high street shop does. Here is how to split a 50-piece hoodie run so you are not carrying dead stock home.
Band artwork is usually detailed, often large and always on a heavy garment. Here is how the decoration methods compare on a brushed-back fleece hoodie.
Before 50 hoodies are printed with your artwork, one comes first. The sample is £150, credited against the bulk order, and it answers questions a render cannot.
Selling out is a good problem until you try to restock. Here is what a hoodie reorder involves, what changes between runs, and how to keep colours matched.
A hoodie drop has a landed cost, not a unit price. Here is where the £30 starting figure comes from and what moves it as the order grows.
A drop date is set by the slowest step, and it is rarely production. Here is how the 10-15 working day window fits into a brand launch calendar.
Sizes mix freely inside the 50-piece minimum, so the curve is a business decision. Here is how brands set it and how they correct it after drop one.
Decoration is what separates a branded blank from a garment people pay brand prices for. Here is how the five methods compare on a hoodie.
One garment, made the way the run will be made, for £150 credited back against the order. Here is the checklist worth running before you sign it off.
A design that sells is an asset. Here is how to reorder it without drift in colour or fit, and how to use the first run to fix the second.
Committees have to price a hoodie before they know how many members will buy one. Here is how the tiers work and how to set a member price safely.
Freshers week does not move. Here is how to work back from it through collection, approval and the 10-15 working day production window.
Societies have an advantage on sizing: they can ask. Here is how to run the form, set the curve and avoid a box of unclaimed hoodies at the end of term.
Society kit usually needs a crest, a society name and sometimes individual names. Here is which decoration method handles each one best.
A committee is spending other people money. The £150 sample, credited back against the order, is how you avoid explaining a bad one at the next AGM.
