Next Level N9000 - Unisex French Terry Raglan Crew - Black

The Next Level N9000 is the Unisex French Terry Raglan Crew, a 5.3 oz midweight blank built on a 60% combed ring-spun cotton / 40% polyester french terry fleece construction. The garment sits between a standard crew sweatshirt and a premium fashion fleece, and the blank a decorated-apparel shop reaches for when a program wants a softer, lighter-feeling sweatshirt with a retail finish rather than a standard brushed fleece. The key structural detail is the french terry build itself: the face is a smooth flat-knit surface and the back is a looped terry structure, which gives the blank a much flatter print face than a brushed fleece and a softer, more drapey hand than a standard sweatshirt. The raglan sleeves angle from collar to underarm rather than setting at the shoulder, which eliminates the shoulder seam and opens up a full, unbroken front body panel for print placement. The classic v-notch neck and 3/8" self back neck binding finish it cleanly. The regular unisex fit, side seams, 1x1 ribbed collar, cuffs and waistband, and tear-away label position it for retail and resale programs where the hand and finish matter as much as the blank cost.

The N9000 decorates primarily through DTF, screen printing and vinyl, with DTG and embroidery as secondary routes. For DTF, the smooth flat-knit terry face bonds cleanly at standard heat-press settings and is the most consistent method across all 12 colours; place the transfer on the front body below the raglan seam line and clear of the v-notch so the full graphic lands on the flat chest panel. For screen printing with plastisol, the terry face holds ink cleanly, but the 40% polyester can cause dye migration on the dark grounds such as Black, Midnight Navy and Heavy Metal, so lay a low-bleed poly-blocking underbase on those colours and cure at a moderate temperature. For vinyl and HTV, the smooth terry face bonds well at standard settings with a light to medium HTV; avoid heavy rigid film on the raglan area where the sleeve seam can create stress on the bond. For DTG, the 60% combed cotton holds pre-treat but the terry loop structure on the inside means the face can compress slightly under the platen, so print on the front body with a white underbase on dark grounds; it works but DTF gives a more consistent result across the colour range. For embroidery, place the design on the left chest opposite the raglan seam line and use a cut-away backing to stabilise the terry face against needle penetration; moderate stitch counts work well on the 5.3 oz body. Discharge and sublimation do not apply: the 40% polyester will not discharge and the cotton-majority body is not a sublimation substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: the smooth terry face is consistent across the colour range, but plan any plastisol run on dark grounds with a low-bleed underbase since the 40% polyester will migrate under heat without one. The raglan construction means print files sized for a standard crew will land correctly on the front body panel, since there is no set-in shoulder seam to work around. For programs mixing this blank with the Next Level 3600 Cotton Tee or the Gildan G180 crewneck sweatshirt on the same order, the terry construction and raglan cut differentiate the N9000 clearly enough to justify the price difference on the premium tier.
