Bella + Canvas 3739Y - Youth Sponge Fleece Full-Zip Hoodie - Black

The Bella + Canvas 3739Y is the Youth Sponge Fleece Full-Zip Hoodie, a 7.0 oz 52% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton / 48% polyester sponge fleece full-zip with a hood, the youth version of the 3739 a decorator reaches for when a fleece program needs a kids' zip-up that fits and prints like the adult body in the same artwork. It is the hoodie for school spirit and team runs, youth retail and boutique lines, fall and winter merch, family matching sets and any decorated batch that needs a youth full-zip to sit next to a unisex 3739 in the same design. The body is a soft 7.0 oz sponge fleece at 32 singles with a full-zip closure and white taping, a hood with a white cord drawstring, 1x1 ribbed cuffs and waistband, side seams, a youth retail fit and a tear-away label. The size range runs S through L (youth), in six colours: Black and Navy solids, plus the heathers Heather Athletic, Heather Forest, Heather Dark Gray and Heather True Royal. The solids and most heathers are a poly-heavy 52/48 sponge fleece; Heather Athletic is the one exception, a 90% cotton / 10% polyester fleece.

The 3739Y decorates as a poly-heavy 52/48 sponge fleece, so dye migration from the polyester is the controlling risk, and the full-zip front changes the layout. The zipper splits the front panel down the middle, so there is no centre-chest print area; the left chest, the back panel, the sleeves and the hood are the print zones, and the 1x1 ribbed cuffs and waistband are no-print since a print bridges and cracks across the rib. For DTF, the transfer bonds clean at standard heat-press settings across the solids and heathers, the most consistent, universal route on this poly-cotton fleece and the way most decorators run it. For screen printing with plastisol, run a poly-blocking low-bleed underbase on every colour and a reduced cure to hold back migration from the polyester. For DTG, print with a white underbase and a low cure, keeping the deposit controlled, since the 48% poly will migrate into a heavy direct print on the soft fleece. For embroidery, the heavyweight 7.0 oz fleece holds a dense stitch cleanly, a strong route for a left-chest mark or a back design over a standard backing, kept off the ribbed cuffs, waistband and the zip placket. For vinyl, a stretch HTV presses cleanly at any size. Water-based and discharge are not a route, since the 48% polyester will not discharge and the ink will not lift on the poly-heavy ground. Sublimation does not apply, since the bodies are piece-dyed and carry cotton.

The reorder note specific to this style: treat the 3739Y as a poly-heavy 52/48 sponge fleece, so default to DTF as the universal route across the solids and heathers, run a poly-block low-bleed underbase plus a reduced cure under plastisol, and print DTG with a white underbase and a low cure to hold back migration. Plan art for the left chest, back, sleeves or hood, since the zipper takes the centre chest, and keep print off the ribbed cuffs and waistband. Skip water-based and discharge, since the 48% poly will not lift.
