Description
The Independent Trading IND4000 is the Heavyweight Hooded Pullover Sweatshirt, a 10 oz blend 3-end fleece hoodie built around a 100% cotton 32-singles face yarn that gives a decorator a cotton print surface on a heavy, premium body. It is the hoodie a shop reaches for when a streetwear or retail-tier program needs more weight and a cleaner print face than a value 50/50 blank, the default for boutique merch lines, band and brand drops, and decorators selling a heavyweight hoodie at a higher ticket. The 10 oz fleece holds its shape and reads as a substantial garment in hand, the cotton face yarn takes ink and dye more like a cotton tee than a poly-rich fleece, and the IND4000 runs a deep colour card that includes camo and houndstooth allover patterns alongside solids and heathers.
The blend changes by colour and that decides the print plan. Solid colours and houndstooth run 70/30 ring-spun cotton/poly with a 100% cotton 32-singles face, so screen printing goes straight onto the cotton face on lights and over a low-bleed underbase on darks, and the 30% poly under the surface means a touch of muting rather than a clean knockout on discharge. Camo colours run 75/25 with the same cotton face, heathers run 52/48, and safety colours run 52/48 overall with a 65/35 poly/cotton face that migrates more and wants a poly-block underbase. DTG prints bright and crisp on the 70/30 cotton-face solids, the ideal digital target on this body, and turns muted over the 52/48 heathers, so route digital art to the solid colourways. Discharge strips the cotton face on the 70/30 and 75/25 solids and camos to a soft vintage hand with slight muting, and fails on the 52/48 heathers and the poly-face safety colours, so wash-test before a discharge run. DTF presses consistently across the whole card, including the heathers, and is the most reliable single method when one artwork has to span solids and patterns. Embroidery sits on the heavy 10 oz fleece with a cut-away backing and is the safest method across the allover camo and houndstooth grounds, since the stitch sits on top of the pattern rather than fighting it. Vinyl and HTV knock out cleanly over the busy camo and houndstooth, where a tonal screen print would disappear into the pattern. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton-face fleece is a cotton-majority substrate, not a polyester woven panel.

The reorder note specific to this style: confirm whether your colourway is a 70/30 solid, a 75/25 camo, a 52/48 heather or a 52/48 safety before a repeat run, because the blend and the print face drive the look more than the body weight. The IND4000 sits in an Independent Trading hooded-fleece line that also runs the lighter midweight SS4500 and a full-zip heavyweight, so a program can match weight and colour across pullover and zip styles for a coordinated range. The 100% cotton face yarn is the differentiator that keeps screen and DTG cleaner than a poly-rich value fleece run to run. TheClothingSpace stocks the IND4000 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Screen Print | ✓ | goes straight onto the 100% cotton face on lights and over a low-bleed underbase on darks; on the camo and houndstooth allover colourways the design must fully knock out the busy ground with a white base |
| DTF | ✓ | presses consistently across solids, heathers and patterns; the most reliable single method when one artwork has to span a solid, a heather and a camo, and a full white base knocks out the pattern grounds |
| DTG | ✓ | prints bright and crisp on the 70/30 cotton-face solids, the ideal digital target; turns muted over the 52/48 heathers and cannot knock out an allover camo or houndstooth, so route digital art to the solid colourways |
| Embroidery | ✓ | sits on the heavy 10 oz fleece with a cut-away backing, full-back capable; the safest method across the camo and houndstooth grounds since the stitch sits on top of the pattern rather than fighting it |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | knocks out cleanly over the busy camo and houndstooth, where a tonal screen print would disappear into the pattern; good for names and numbers on a team or band run |
| Discharge | ✓ | strips the cotton face on the 70/30 and 75/25 solids and camos to a soft vintage hand with slight muting from the poly content; fails on the 52/48 heathers and the poly-face safety colours, so wash-test before a discharge run |
| Sublimation | ✗ | the cotton-face fleece is a cotton-majority substrate, not a polyester woven panel, so dye-sublimation will not bond; route branding to screen, DTF, embroidery or a discharge run on the cotton-face solids |

Fabric Blend by Color Group
Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.
| Color Group | Blend | Print Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Solid colours and houndstooth (White, Sand, Black, Navy, Maroon, Forest, Houndstooth and more) | 70/30 ring-spun cotton/poly with a 100% cotton 32-singles face | Screen print and DTG run straight on the cotton face; discharge strips to a soft vintage hand with slight muting from the 30% poly |
| Camo colourways (Forest Camo, Grey Camo and similar) | 75/25 with a 100% cotton 32-singles face | Treat as an allover pattern: knock out the busy ground with a white screen base or a full-base DTF, or sit a design on top with embroidery or HTV |
| Heathers (Heather Grey, Charcoal Heather and similar) | 52/48 ring-spun cotton/poly | Run a white underbase for screen opacity, route DTF for consistency, and reserve DTG for solids since the heather mutes digital |
| Safety colours (Safety Green, Safety Orange) | 52/48 overall with a 65/35 poly/cotton face | The poly-rich face migrates, so run low-bleed inks over a poly-block underbase at the lowest effective cure, or press DTF |
