Next Level 9001 - Unisex Long-Sleeve Crew with Pocket - Red

The Next Level 9001 is the Unisex Long-Sleeve Crew with Pocket, a 7.4 oz 80% cotton / 20% polyester brushed back fleece sweatshirt built on a 100% cotton face. The cotton-majority blend and full-cotton print face set it apart from the standard 50/50 and 60/40 fleece crews that dominate the wholesale sweatshirt tier: a 100% cotton face takes ink the way a cotton tee does, which opens up decoration routes that a poly-faced fleece blocks. The construction is finished for a retail-quality program: a set-in front pocket across the lower chest, an inside locker patch for a printable label, a contrast 3/8-inch back neck binding, 1x1 rib at the neck, cuffs and waistband, a side-seamed body, and a tear-away label. The 30-singles yarn produces a tighter, smoother brushed face than a standard open-end fleece, which keeps ink deposit even across the brushed nap. The regular unisex fit runs XS through 3XL.

For a shop decorating the 9001, the 100% cotton face is the variable that changes the plan versus a typical blended fleece. DTF transfer is the most practical first method across all colors: the film bonds to the cotton face at standard heat-press settings and reads cleanly over the brushed nap. Screen printing is genuinely strong on the cotton face, since the 20% polyester sits behind the cotton surface and does not block ink the way a poly-faced fleece does. Plastisol prints clean, and unlike a 60/40 or 50/50 fleece, water-based and discharge inks are practical on this cotton-face body, which is rare in the fleece tier and gives a soft-hand result on the darker grounds such as Black and Midnight Navy. On saturated darks, a low-bleed underbase still guards against any migration from the 20% polyester at cure, so test the run before a full production. The set-in front pocket sits across the lower chest, so full-front art needs to be scaled and placed above the pocket opening or planned as a full-back graphic on the unobstructed rear panel. For embroidery, the 7.4 oz fleece body holds a cut-away backing without distortion, and a standard left-chest logo sits clear of the pocket and locker patch. For DTG, the cotton face takes pretreat cleanly and produces fuller vibrancy than a poly-blend fleece; lay a white underbase on Black, Midnight Navy, Heavy Metal, Maroon and Forest Green. Vinyl and HTV bond well into the brushed nap at standard press pressure. Sublimation does not apply on a cotton-majority body.

The reorder note specific to the 9001: the 100% cotton face is consistent across the color range, but plan any plastisol or discharge run on the darkest grounds (Black, Midnight Navy, Heavy Metal) with a test print, since the 20% polyester behind the face can migrate under sustained cure heat without a low-bleed underbase.
