Description
The Jerzees 993 is the Unisex NuBlend Fleece Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt, an 8 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester preshrunk fleece built on a high stitch density yarn construction that resists pilling and prints cleaner than a basic fleece face. NuBlend is Jerzees' proprietary pill-resistant fleece specification: the high stitch density creates a smoother surface that holds ink deposit with less bleedthrough than coarser fleece, making it a reliable print substrate for screen shops running short decoration runs on a budget. The body runs a unisex classic fit in S-3XL with a quarter-turned construction to eliminate the centre crease, an aluminum zipper, a 1-ply hood with grommets and a matching tipped drawcord, and front pouch pockets. The 1x1 rib cuffs and waistband are set without spandex. Solid colour grounds and heathers run 50/50; the Oxford colourway runs 48/52 cotton/polyester, making it the most poly-forward ground in the 13-colour card.
The aluminum zipper, 50/50 blend, and front pouch pocket set the decoration plan for the Jerzees 993, and the same rules that apply to any 50/50 full-zip hoodie apply here. DTF is the most consistent single method across the full colour card, including the High Viz Safety shades, since the transfer bonds at a controlled temperature and requires no underbase step. Screen printing suits the high-density face well: a white underbase on the coloured grounds, a low-cure temperature to block the polyester from migrating dye into the ink layer, and bold or mid-detail art placed on the full back or as a left-chest hit opposite the zipper. The zip placket runs the full chest length, so print placement must clear the aluminum zipper teeth; the full back is the largest flat canvas on this garment. Embroidery works on the 8 oz body with a cut-away backing for a left-chest logo, placed opposite the zip. Vinyl and HTV bond with a firm press for names and numbers. DTG is not a practical fit, since 50/50 polyester mutes the ink, the thick fleece fights the platen, and the zip blocks a flat chest print; route those jobs to screen or DTF. Oxford's 48/52 polyester-majority ground needs the strongest underbase and the lowest cure of any solid in the card, closer to the treatment a heather blend requires. Discharge does not work on the polyester-bearing ground. Sublimation does not apply; route to a 100% polyester fleece for dye-sub.

The reorder note for the Jerzees 993: solids and heathers share the same 50/50 NuBlend ground and print on the same recipe. The Oxford colourway runs 48/52, making it slightly poly-majority, so if Oxford is in the run, step up the underbase weight and drop the cure temperature to match. The high stitch density face means the 993 holds ink deposit more consistently than a basic fleece, reducing blowout on fine-detail borders. Jerzees 993 is available at TheClothingSpace at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase with case and unit quantity, 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 |
|---|---|---|
| DTF | ✓ | the most consistent single method across the full 13-colour card including the High Viz Safety shades; transfer bonds at controlled temperature across the 50/50 and the Oxford 48/52 ground; place full-front clear of the aluminum zipper teeth, treat the full back as the primary canvas |
| Screen Print | ✓ | the NuBlend high stitch density face gives a smoother ink deposit than a basic fleece; lay a white underbase on the coloured grounds, run a low cure to block polyester dye migration, favour bold and mid-detail art, place on the full back or as a left-chest hit opposite the zip; Oxford's 48/52 poly-majority ground needs the strongest underbase and the lowest cure |
| Embroidery | ✓ | the 8 oz fleece body holds a left-chest logo cleanly with a cut-away backing, placed opposite the zip; the high stitch density face reduces pilling around the stitches |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | bonds with a firm press for names, numbers and letters on the back or left-chest opposite the zip; good for athletic and club lettering |
| DTG | ✗ | not a practical fit: the 50/50 polyester mutes the ink, the thick fleece body fights the platen, and the full-zip placket blocks a flat chest print; route these jobs to screen print or DTF |
| Discharge | ✗ | the polyester content will not strip cleanly, so discharge does not give a consistent result on this NuBlend ground; use an underbased plastisol or DTF instead |
| Sublimation | ✗ | the cotton-bearing 50/50 ground will not hold the dye for a clean full-bleed result; route dye-sub jobs to a 100% polyester fleece substrate |

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 grounds (White, Black, J Navy, Royal, Forest Green, True Red, Ash, Maroon) | 50/50 cotton/polyester NuBlend fleece | Lay a white underbase on the coloured grounds and run a low cure to block polyester migration; the high stitch density face gives a cleaner deposit than a basic 50/50 fleece |
| Heather grounds (Black Heather, Athletic Heather) | 50/50 cotton/polyester NuBlend fleece, marled yarn | Same 50/50 recipe as the solids; the marled face diffuses halftone detail, so favour bold art or route to DTF for the most consistent result across the heathered card |
| Oxford (polyester-majority solid) | 48/52 cotton/polyester NuBlend fleece | The most poly-forward ground in the card; treat it like a heather for decoration planning: the strongest underbase and the lowest cure, or use DTF to eliminate the migration step entirely |
| High Viz Safety shades (High Viz Safety Green, High Viz Safety Orange) | 50/50 cotton/polyester NuBlend fleece with fluorescent ANSI dye | The fluorescent dye can bleed under heat; use a white underbase with the lowest possible cure, or DTF for the most bleed-free result on safety grounds |
