Independent Trading AFX64CRP - Women’s Lightweight Cropped Hoodie - Gray Heather
Selected Color: Gray Heather8 colors
Choose Size
Description
The Independent Trading AFX64CRP is a 6.5 oz women's cropped pullover hoodie in an 80/20 cotton/polyester blend with a kangaroo pocket, raw edge hem, and jersey-lined hood. The cropped body hits at the natural waist, giving the fashion-forward silhouette that boutique merch lines, sorority programs, and branded retail capsules sell at premium price points above standard full-length hoodies. The 80/20 cotton-face fleece provides a smooth outer surface that takes DTF and screen print cleanly. Sizes XS through 2XL.
DTF transfers are the primary full-color decoration method. The cotton-face fleece bonds well with DTF adhesives at standard press settings, and the 6.5 oz weight provides a stable surface that holds the transfer flat. Screen printing with plastisol works on the front chest panel; the 80/20 blend has low enough polyester content that standard plastisol cures without aggressive dye migration on most solid colors. Embroidery works on the left chest with a cut-away backing; the fleece weight supports moderate stitch density. HTV for names and monograms. Water-based and discharge inks work on the cotton-face fleece for soft-hand prints on solid dyed colors. DTG is impractical on a cropped hoodie due to the pocket, drawcord, and hood geometry.
