Custom Hoodie Manufacturer for Clothing Brands
Stitch Expo manufactures custom hoodies with personalised fabrics, GSM, fits, measurements, colours, printing, embroidery, labels, trims and packaging for streetwear brands, fashion labels, teams and businesses worldwide.
Private-Label Hoodie Production From Concept to Delivery
Stitch Expo is a custom hoodie manufacturer based in Sialkot, Pakistan. We help clothing brands develop pullover, zip-up, oversized, heavyweight, washed, cropped and performance hoodies according to their specifications.
You can provide a complete tech pack, measurement chart, artwork and colour references. If your project begins with sketches or reference images, our team can review the construction and identify the information required for sample development.
Every quotation is based on the actual hoodie design, material, weight, decoration, trims, branding, packaging, quantity and delivery destination.

Choose the Right Hoodie Fabric and GSM
Fabric should be selected according to climate, silhouette, finish, comfort, durability and target retail position—not by GSM alone.
| Fabric | Typical Weight | Characteristics | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brushed Cotton Fleece | 280–500 GSM | Soft brushed interior, warm feel and structured appearance. | Streetwear, winter hoodies and premium tracksuits. |
| French Terry | 260–420 GSM | Smooth outer face with looped interior; less insulating than brushed fleece. | Midweight hoodies, transitional seasons and premium casualwear. |
| Cotton-Polyester Fleece | 280–450 GSM | Combines cotton comfort with improved stability and reduced wrinkling. | Everyday hoodies, teamwear and repeat-use garments. |
| Loopback Jersey | 240–350 GSM | Flexible, breathable and lighter than dense heavyweight fleece. | Lightweight hoodies and warmer climates. |
| Interlock | 250–380 GSM | Smooth, stable double-knit construction with a clean surface. | Minimal, technical and premium fitted hoodies. |
| Polyester Performance Fabric | 180–300 GSM | Lightweight, quick-drying and suitable for sublimation. | Sports, training and all-over printed hoodies. |
| Waffle or Thermal Knit | 280–420 GSM | Textured surface with additional visual depth and insulation. | Fashion hoodies, panels and seasonal collections. |
GSM indicates fabric weight per square metre; it does not independently determine quality. Yarn, fibre composition, knitting density, finishing, shrinkage and colourfastness also affect the finished garment. Final specifications should be confirmed through sampling.

Custom Hoodie Manufacturing FAQs
What is your MOQ for custom hoodies? ⌄
The standard starting MOQ is 50 pieces per design. The possible size and colour breakdown depends on fabric availability, dyeing, decoration and trims.
Can I order a hoodie sample first? ⌄
Yes. A paid sample is recommended before bulk manufacturing so you can evaluate the fit, fabric, colour, construction and branding.
What GSM is best for a heavyweight hoodie? ⌄
Many heavyweight hoodies use fabric around 400–500 GSM, but GSM alone does not determine quality. Fibre, yarn, knitting, brushing and finishing must also be considered.
Can you manufacture oversized hoodies? ⌄
Yes. Chest width, body length, shoulder drop, sleeve volume, hood size, ribbing and pocket proportions can all be customised.
Can you match a Pantone colour? ⌄
Pantone references can be used as colour targets. Final appearance may vary by fabric, dye method, lighting and finishing, so physical approval is recommended.
Can you add custom labels and packaging? ⌄
Yes. Options include main labels, care labels, size labels, neck prints, hang tags, branded bags, mailers, boxes, stickers and cards.
Can you copy a reference hoodie exactly? ⌄
A reference garment can help establish construction and fit, but protected logos, artwork and branded components should not be copied without permission. Materials and washes may also require development to achieve a close result.
Do you ship custom hoodies internationally? ⌄
Yes. Shipping options are quoted according to the destination, quantity, carton dimensions, weight and required delivery method.
