Which men's hoodie or sweatshirt should you choose?
The range is mostly AS Colour fleece, split into crews, pullover hoods and zip hoods, and the real decision is fabric weight. Weight is measured in gsm (grams per square metre), so a higher number means a thicker, warmer garment that also costs more to buy.
| Style | Weight and fabric listed | Fit and details |
| AS Colour Mens Supply Hood and Supply Crew | 290 gsm, 80% cotton 20% polyester anti-pill fleece | Regular fit, raglan sleeves, preshrunk. The hood has a kangaroo pocket and tonal drawcord |
| AS Colour Mens Relax Hood | 320 gsm, 80% cotton 20% recycled polyester anti-pill fleece | Relaxed fit, drop shoulder, no drawcord |
| AS Colour Mens Faded Relax Hood | 320 gsm, 80% cotton 20% recycled polyester fleece | Garment dyed in six faded colours, from Faded Black to Faded Taupe |
| AS Colour Camo Stencil Hood | 350 gsm, 80% cotton 20% polyester anti-pill fleece | Regular fit, inset sleeves, dyed-to-match drawcord, white, standard and black camo |
| AS Colour Mens Heavy Crew and Heavy Zip Hood | 400 gsm, 80% cotton fleece (the zip hood uses 20% recycled polyester) | Oversized fit with dropped shoulders. The zip hood has a 2-way YKK zip |
| AS Colour Made Hood | 500 gsm, 100% cotton French terry | Relaxed fit, no drawcord, the heaviest hood in the range |
For a staff or team order, we'd start with the Supply Hood. It has the widest colour choice of the range, so matching a brand colour is realistic, and 290 gsm is a weight people can wear from autumn to early spring without overheating indoors. If the hoodie is a gift or a reward and you want it to feel substantial, the Relax Hood at 320 gsm is a sensible step up, and the Heavy and Made styles are for buyers who want a thick, boxy streetwear fit and accept the extra cost. Crews suit offices and anyone who dislikes a hood.
The grid also holds a few jackets, such as the Canvas Hooded Jacket and Hooded Puffer Jacket. If a jacket is what you want, browse our AS Colour jackets. The Mens Stencil Safety Hood is a high visibility hood in Safety Orange and Safety Yellow, and its product page lists AS/NZS 1906.4 testing. If it's for site work, tell us what the garment is used for so we can check the decoration won't interfere with the hi-vis requirements.
How can you brand men's sweatshirts and hoodies?
These are cotton-rich fleeces, so the methods that work are the ones for cotton. Sublimation is out, because it needs polyester and light colours.
- Screen printing is our pick for most orders. A one or two colour chest logo or a larger back print bonds well to fleece, and the cost per hoodie falls as the quantity grows.
- DTF transfers suit full-colour artwork, fine detail or a small run, because there is no separate colour setup, but the feel and wash life differ from screen print.
- Embroidery gives a stitched, uniform look that suits a small left-chest logo on a Supply Crew or a zip hood, though fine detail and tiny lettering get simplified when the logo is digitised into a stitch file.
Each product page offers one, two or three decoration positions, so a chest logo with a name or slogan across the back is straightforward. The artwork team confirms the method and logo size on your free digital proof, and nothing is made until you approve it.
Ordering men's sweatshirts
There's no minimum, so a small team can order ten hoodies as readily as a franchise can order several hundred. Colours, sizes and styles can be mixed in one order and the whole order counts toward volume pricing, which many of these products show on the product page; your quote confirms the branded price. After you approve the proof we decorate in house. Send a size breakdown with your enquiry so nothing gets guessed.
Who buys men's sweatshirts and knits?
- Businesses issue hoodies or crews to staff and new starters, so the logo is seen by customers and colleagues every cold-weather working day. Many add a tee and a beanie in a kitting pack.
- Sporting clubs and event crews order one design for the whole squad or volunteer team, so people are easy to spot and the same artwork can be reordered each season.
- Corporate gift buyers choose a name-brand hoodie for a client or an end-of-year reward, because AS Colour has a recognisable label and people keep a good hoodie for years. If it's for Christmas, order soon, because production slots fill from September.
Organisations with several sites that reorder each year can ask about our online stores and uniform programs through the enquiry form.
What goes with men's sweatshirts?
Most buyers pair them with AS Colour men's t-shirts for warmer days and an AS Colour beanie or cap to finish the set. For women's sizing, see AS Colour ladies sweatshirts and knits, and for juniors, kids sweatshirts and hoodies.
