Bella + Canvas 3512 - Unisex Jersey Long-Sleeve Hoodie - Asphalt

The Bella + Canvas 3512 is the Unisex Jersey Long-Sleeve Hoodie, a lightweight hooded long-sleeve in a smooth jersey body rather than a heavy sponge fleece, the blank a decorator reaches for when a program wants a hood that prints like a tee, layers under a jacket and ships at a fraction of a fleece hoodie's weight. It is the hoodie for any decorated layering order pitched at a soft, retail look: festival and event merch, spring and shoulder-season runs, lounge and studio lines, and the group orders that want a hood without the bulk of fleece. The solid colours run a 4.2 oz of 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton spun to 32 singles in a smooth jersey, the same flat-knit face the Bella tees print on, so artwork lands as clean on the hood body as it does on the tee. The retail unisex fit, cross-over v neckline and hood shape a light layering line, and the side-seamed construction with a tear-away label finishes it for resale. The size range runs XS through 2XL. The fabric changes by colour family: solids are 100% Airlume cotton, the heather colours are 52% cotton / 48% polyester, and the triblend colours such as Charcoal Black Triblend and Gray Triblend run a 3.8 oz 50% polyester / 25% Airlume cotton / 25% rayon for the signature heathered drape.

The 3512 decorates by colour family, since the fabric shifts from 100% cotton on the solids to a 52/48 heather to a triblend. For DTF, the transfer bonds at standard heat-press settings across every colour, the most universal route and the easy choice across the mixed palette. For DTG, the 100% cotton solids take the ink bright and sharp, the standout on the smooth solids needing a white underbase on the dark colours; the 52/48 heathers mute slightly and need a white underbase, while the triblend colours read soft and faded by design since only a quarter of the body is cotton. For screen printing with plastisol, the 100% cotton solids hold a clean plastisol, while the 52/48 heathers and the triblend colours want a poly-blocking underbase and a reduced cure so the disperse dye does not migrate. For water-based and discharge inks, the 100% cotton solids discharge bright and soft for the lightest hand, the 52/48 heathers only partially discharge, and the triblend colours barely lift since the rayon and polyester will not discharge. For embroidery, the 4.2 oz jersey holds a moderate design over a cut-away stabiliser, kept clear of the hood seam and the cross-over v so it does not pull. For vinyl, a flexible HTV presses cleanly on the smooth face. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton-majority solids and heathers will not hold disperse dye and the triblend is already piece-dyed.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat it as a colour-family body, so reach for DTF across the mixed palette, lay a white underbase on the dark and heather grounds, run a poly-blocking underbase with a reduced cure on the heathers and triblends, and keep embroidery clear of the hood seam and cross-over v.
