Custom hoodie manufacturer producing cut and sew hoodies for clothing brands.

Custom Hoodie Manufacturer for Brands That Care How a Hoodie Is Built

Mega Apparel is a custom hoodie manufacturer producing cut and sew hoodies and sweatshirts for brands, gyms, teams, and bulk buyers. We have been in apparel manufacturing since 2012, with more than 2,000 clients through our factory.
A hoodie is easy to make badly. The giveaways are always the same. A thin single-lined hood, a pocket that sags after three washes, and a rib that has lost its stretch. We build the parts your customer touches first, then price it so a small brand can still hold margin. The minimum is 35 pieces per style.

Custom Oversized Hoodies

A boxy fit with dropped shoulders, a wider body, and a shorter length ratio so it sits right instead of just looking too big. Best in 400 GSM and above, since light fleece collapses on an oversized block.

Custom Zip Up Hoodies

Full zip and half zip with YKK hardware, a zipper garage at the chin, and reinforced bar tacks at the pocket openings. Split kangaroo or hidden side pockets.

Custom Crewneck Hoodies

Classic crewneck sweatshirts with a ribbed collar, set-in or dropped sleeve, and a V insert at the neck if you want the vintage detail. Same fleece options as the pullovers.

Custom Short Sleeves Hoodies

A hooded short-sleeve built in lighter French terry is popular with streetwear labels and warm-climate markets where a full fleece hoodie sits on the rail.

Custom Embroidered Sweatshirts

Flat, 3D puff, tonal and applique embroidery, up to 15 thread colors, with backing so the stitch does not pucker the fleece. Chest, sleeve, and back placements.

Custom Kids Hoodies

Sized and constructed for children, with no drawcord at the neck for the younger age grades and softer brushed fleece against the skin.

Custom Printed Hoodies

Screen print, DTG, DTF, puff print, high density, and foil. We will tell you which method suits your artwork rather than pushing whichever machine is free. Custom Performance Sweatshirts
Poly and poly-spandex fleece with moisture-wicking and quick-dry finishes, cut for training rather than lounging. Common for gyms and teams.

Custom Performance Sweatshirts

Flat, 3D puff, tonal and applique embroidery, up to 15 thread colors, with backing so the stitch does not pucker the fleece. Chest, sleeve, and back placements.

Custom Pullover Hoodies

The volume seller. Double-lined hood, kangaroo pocket, ribbed cuffs and hem with elastane so they recover, and your choice of drawcord and tipping.

Cut and Sew Hoodie Manufacturer

We are the hoodie manufacturers in USA who build from your pattern, not from a blank with a print on it. "Cut and sew" means the garment is made from scratch, so you control the block, the panel shapes, and the fit.

The parts that decide whether a hoodie feels cheap or expensive:

  • Double-lined hood with a three-panel or two-panel construction so it holds its shape instead of collapsing flat.
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem knitted with elastane, which is why they still grip after twenty washes.
  • Kangaroo split or zip pocket, bar-tacked at both openings where the stress sits.
  • Self fabric or flat drawcord with metal or plastic tipping and metal eyelets rather than punched holes.
  • Coverstitch and twin-needle finishing at the shoulder, armhole, and hem.
  • Set in, raglan, or dropped-shoulder sleeve depending on the fit you want.
  • Optional side panels, thumbholes, gussets, and a taped neck seam.

Send a tech pack, a sketch, or a hoodie you want beaten. If you send a garment, we will reverse engineer the pattern and identify the fabric, then sample it side by side against the original.

Private Label Hoodie Manufacturer

Every order ships under your brand. Your customer should never see our name on the garment or the packaging.

  • As a private label hoodie manufacturer, we produce woven, satin, Tyvek, printed, and tagless heat transfer labels, plus hang tags in any shape or stock. Your labels carry:
    • Your logo
    • Size
    • Fabric composition
    • Care and washing instructions
    • Country of origin and your RN number
    • Anything else you need printed

    We also handle branded poly bags, custom mailers, and UPC barcodes applied per unit. If your order is going to Amazon FBA or a retail account, tell us at the quote stage so barcode placement and carton marking are built into the run.

    Customization and Printing

    Design your own hoodies down to the wash and the thread color. These are the methods we run and what each one is actually for.

    • Screen printing: Plastisol for bright opaque graphics, water-based and discharge for a soft print that sits in the fleece rather than on top of it. Best value above about 100 pieces per design.
    • DTG and DTF: Photographic artwork, gradients, and short runs where a screen setup does not pay for itself.
    • Digital and sublimation printing for all-over graphics on polyester-based fleece.
    • Embroidery, including 3D puff and applique, with the right backing for a brushed surface.
    • Puff print, high density, foil, and glitter for streetwear graphics.
    • Fabric dyeing and garment wash: Garment dye, pigment dye, acid wash, enzyme wash, tie dye, and stone wash for a lived-in finish.
    • Trims: YKK zippers, custom drawcords, metal tipping, woven patches, leather patches, and silicone badges.

    Send artwork as vector files, AI, EPS, or PDF, with Pantone TCX references for color. We send back a mockup for approval before anything is printed.

    Renowned High-Quality Sweatshirts Manufacturer

    Our associate brands consider us a highly skilled hooded sweatshirt manufacturer because we produce custom-printed sweatshirts using the best printing methods for them. We source only the finest quality materials to craft durable and reliable sweatshirts and hoodies. Our premium-quality fabric options include cotton, fleece, polyester, nylon, a blend of cotton and polyester, and spandex, as per the product.

    Other than that, our fabric options include:

    • Organic Fabric
    • Synthetic Fabric
    • Recycled Fabric
    • Pre Shrunk Fabric

    Fabrics and Weights

    With hoodies, weight is the spec that matters. It sets the drape, the warmth, and most of the cost.
    As a sweatshirt manufacturer, this is where we start every quote.

    Weight Fabric Feel and use
    240 to 280 GSM Light French terry Summer and short-sleeve hoodies, layering pieces
    280 to 340 GSM French terry, loopback Everyday hoodies, warm climates, best all-rounder
    340 to 400 GSM Brushed fleece Standard retail hoodie weight, soft inner face
    400 to 500 GSM Heavyweight fleece Premium streetwear and oversized fits, structured drape
    Performance builds Poly and poly spandex fleece Gym and team wear, moisture-wicking and quick-drying

    Common blends are 100 percent cotton, 80 percent cotton with 20 percent polyester, and 50/50 for a softer drape with less shrinkage. Fabric options also include:

    • Organic cotton
    • Recycled polyester and recycled cotton blends
    • Synthetic and performance fleece
    • Pre-shrunk and compacted fabric

    Colors are matched to Pantone TCX references, and the dye recipe stays on file, so your reorder does not come back a shade off the first run.

    Why Choose Mega Apparel as Your Hoodie Manufacturer?

    Mega Apparel creates hoodies according to your requirements. We provide you with samples first to help you make an informed decision about your hoodies. We offer you competitive prices, complete customization, and a great range of products. Our products are excellent in terms of quality and appearance, which your brand most certainly needs. Here is just a glimpse of why we are the best in business:

    Professional Team

    One project manager owns your order from the first quote to delivery, so you are not repeating your brief to a new person every week. You get an update at each stage rather than after you chase.

    Reasonable Pricing and Low MOQ

    Our MOQ is 35 to 50 pieces per product depending on color, printing, design, and the fabric GSM. Heavier fleece and custom-dyed colors sit at the higher end. Per-piece cost drops noticeably at 100, 300, and 500 units per style.

    Creative Professionals

    No tech pack, no problem. Send a sketch, a mood board, or a reference garment, and our design team builds the tech pack and mockups. We also produce t-shirts, jackets, sweatpants, and caps, so a full collection can ship together in one carton.

    Turnaround Time and Delivery

    Samples in 15 to 20 business days and bulk in 20 to 25 business days after you approve the sample. Goods ship to your door, your warehouse, or your fulfillment partner. If a date is going to slip, you hear it from us before you hear it from your customer.

    Quality checks

    Fleece is inspected on the four-point system before cutting, with GSM and shade checked against the approved lot. Shrinkage is tested after wash, since fleece moves more than jersey does. Measurements are audited across the full size range rather than the middle size only, and final inspection runs at AQL 2.5 for major defects.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    35 to 50 pieces per style, depending on color, print method, design, and fabric GSM. Heavyweight fleece and custom-dyed colors sit at the higher end of that range.
    280 to 340 GSM French terry is the safest all-rounder and works in most climates. 340 to 400 GSM brushed fleece is the standard retail weight. Go to 400 GSM and above for premium streetwear and oversized fits, where lighter fleece would collapse.
    Cut and sew. The garment is made from your pattern, so you control the block, the panel shapes, the hood construction, and the fit. We can also work from a sample garment you send us.
    Samples in 15 to 20 business days and bulk in 20 to 25 business days after sample approval.
