Description
The Independent Trading Co. PRM15YSB is a 6.5 oz youth raglan hooded sweatshirt built on a 52/48 ring-spun cotton and polyester special blend fleece. The raglan sleeve construction and clean no-drawcord hood make it a common choice for school spirit programs, youth sports team gear, and event merchandise where institutional settings require drawcord-free garments. At 6.5 oz, it is lighter than standard youth fleece at 8 oz, giving it a softer drape while remaining stable enough for screen printing and DTF decoration. The CPSIA tracking label meets federal requirements for youth apparel decoration programs.
For screen printing on the PRM15YSB, the 52/48 cotton-poly blend requires attention to dye migration on coloured grounds. Solid-colour garments (Black, Crimson, Midnight Navy, Pomegranate) need a low-bleed or poly-blocking plastisol underbase to prevent polyester dye from migrating into the ink layer during cure. Heather and two-tone colourways (Nickel, Nickel Heather/Forest Camo, Nickel/Carbon, Pacific) carry a higher polyester face in the heather yarns and need the same underbase treatment. Cure at the minimum effective temperature and wash-test a sample before committing to a full run. For DTF heat transfers, the 52/48 blend bonds well with DTF adhesive film. The raglan sleeve panels print flat, and the front chest panel above the pouch pocket is the primary decoration zone. For embroidery, the 6.5 oz fleece weight is moderate, suitable for left-chest placements with a cut-away backing to stabilise the stitch on the lighter fleece.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | 52/48 blend bonds well with DTF adhesive film; press at standard time and temp; raglan sleeve panels and front chest print flat on the platen |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | Use a low-bleed or poly-blocking underbase on all coloured grounds including heather and two-tone raglan colorways; cure at minimum effective temperature and wash-test a sample first |
| Embroidery | ✓ | 6.5 oz fleece is moderate weight; use cut-away backing for stable stitch registration at left-chest and back placements; scale design to youth chest dimensions |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | Stable press surface at standard time and temp; use a lower-stretch HTV for the fleece surface |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✗ | 48% polyester content limits water-based and discharge results; discharge bleaches only the cotton portion, leaving the unbleached poly visible; route to plastisol with a poly-block underbase |
| DTG | ✗ | Uncommon on 52/48 fleece; polyester content mutes pretreat and ink vibrancy; route decoration to DTF or screen print |
| Sublimation | ✗ | 52/48 blend does not produce full sublimation colour; partial sublimation gives a faded pastel result only |

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 darks (Black, Crimson, Midnight Navy, Pomegranate) | 52/48 ring-spun cotton/polyester | Poly-blocking plastisol underbase required to prevent dye migration; cure at minimum effective temp; wash-test before full run |
| Heather and two-tone raglan colorways (Nickel, Pacific, Nickel/Carbon, Nickel Heather/Forest Camo) | 52/48 ring-spun cotton/polyester with heather yarn face | Heather yarns carry higher poly content in the face; treat the same as dark solids with poly-block underbase; DTF is the lower-risk route on complex heather raglan panels |
| Carbon/Black two-tone | 52/48 ring-spun cotton/polyester | Two-tone raglan panels mean the body and sleeve grounds differ; route to DTF for cleaner edge-to-edge coverage across the raglan seam |
