How to Brief a Custom Hoodie Manufacturer

A clear brief is the difference between a hoodie that feels brand-owned and a hoodie that feels generic. Before sampling, lock GSM, fabric composition, fit block, rib specification, and decoration method.

Include reference garments whenever possible. Photos help, but a physical reference tells a manufacturer how the fleece should drape, how the hood should sit, and how the cuff should recover after wash.

Pindon Clothing typically turns first hoodie samples in 7–12 days once fabric and construction notes are confirmed. Brands that arrive with graded size specs and artwork in vector format move fastest from sample to bulk.
