Bayside BA960 Black USA-Made 80/20 Hoodie

Description

The Bayside BA960 is a 9.5 oz 80/20 cotton/polyester fleece pullover hoodie made in the USA with union labor. The domestic production and union-made designation are the specifications that government contract programs, union shops, municipal purchasing departments, and Made in USA brand programs require when procurement rules mandate domestic sourcing. At 9.5 oz, the fleece is heavier than most import hoodies, which gives it a denser body that holds its shape on a hanger and provides more warmth per layer.

Screen printing is the primary decoration method. The 80/20 cotton-face fleece holds plastisol ink with solid coverage on front, back, and sleeve prints. The cotton-dominant face also accepts DTG water-based ink for short-run full-color artwork. DTF transfers bond at standard press settings. Embroidery works on left chest, back, and sleeve with cut-away backing on the heavy fleece. Heat transfer vinyl for names and numbers. The 80/20 blend carries low dye-migration risk at standard cure temperatures. Charcoal Heather is 60/40 cotton/poly, so poly-block ink is recommended on that colorway above 320F.
