Fruit of the Loom 4LSHFL - HD Cotton™ Jersey Hooded T-Shirt - Black Ink

The Fruit of the Loom 4LSHFL is a 5.0 oz HD Cotton jersey hooded t-shirt: a long-sleeve jersey-knit body with an attached hood and no drawcord. That construction distinction matters for decorators. Unlike a fleece hoodie, the 4LSHFL platens flat like a standard long-sleeve tee. The hood drapes behind the platen and does not interfere with the print zone. Screen printers can run it on the same platen and press settings as a regular long-sleeve tee without retooling for the extra mass of fleece. Print shops looking to add a hooded silhouette to a school, event, or uniform program without changing their press setup get a production-friendly blank at a price point well below a fleece hoodie.

For screen printing on the solid cotton colorways, the HD Cotton jersey holds plastisol with clean ink holdout on bold spot-colour work. The high-density cotton face is tighter than a basic heavyweight jersey, which reduces dot gain on fine art compared to a coarser open-end fabric. One critical note on colorway selection: the safety colors (Safety Green, Safety Orange) and the heather colorways (Black Ink Heather, Retro Heather Royal) are 50/50 cotton/polyester blends, not 100% cotton. That changes the decoration setup for those colorways. On a 50/50 substrate, use a low-bleed plastisol or poly-block underbase and reduce cure temperature to manage dye migration. Athletic Heather is 90/10 cotton/poly and carries lower migration risk, but still warrants a lower-bleed ink on dark artwork. For DTF transfers, the entire colour card bonds reliably across cotton and 50/50 grounds, making DTF the lowest-friction option when an order spans multiple colourways with mixed blends. For DTG on the cotton-dominant colorways, white garments print at full vibrancy without pre-treatment; coloured blanks require pre-treatment. DTG is not practical on the 50/50 safety and heather colorways due to ink muting. For embroidery, the 5.0 oz jersey body is workable for left-chest and sleeve placements; use a cut-away stabiliser to prevent the knit from tunnelling under the hoop.

The 4LSHFL fits neatly into a decoration program where a screen printer or DTF shop already runs the Fruit of the Loom 4930 long-sleeve tee and wants to add a hooded option without moving to fleece. The jersey construction keeps platen setup identical and the per-unit cost below a comparable fleece hoodie.
