Description
The Next Level 9301 is a unisex French Terry pullover hoodie constructed from 5.3 oz 60/40 combed ring-spun cotton/polyester French Terry fleece spun to 30 singles. French Terry differs from standard fleece in its construction: the interior has looped terry rather than a brushed nap, creating a lighter, smoother feel that works year-round. At 5.3 oz this is a lightweight hoodie compared to 8-12 oz traditional fleece bodies, positioned for retail-quality decorated programmes where a slim, fashion-forward silhouette matters more than heavyweight insulation.
The jersey-lined hood with matching drawcord and metal eyelets gives a clean, finished look. A kangaroo pocket and contrast 3/8-inch back-neck binding add construction detail. 1x1 ribbed cuffs and waistband hold their shape. The tear-away label removes for relabelling. Side-seamed construction keeps front prints centred.
For decoration, DTF transfers are the primary method, bonding consistently across the cotton-blend French Terry face. Screen printing works with a poly-block underbase on dark and coloured grounds. The 40% polyester content means standard plastisol cure temps can cause dye migration on deep/saturated colours, so moderate cure and poly-block are essential. DTG is viable on the 60% cotton content, producing a soft, faded vintage look on the French Terry face with white underbase on dark grounds. Water-based inks produce a soft hand but discharge is not recommended due to the 40% polyester. Embroidery works at moderate stitch count.
