Which women's hoodie or crew should you choose?
Most of this range is AS Colour fleece, and the choice comes down to fabric weight. Weight is given in gsm (grams per square metre), so a higher number means a thicker, warmer garment that feels more substantial in the hand. The table covers the main fleece styles on the page.
| Style | Weight and fabric | Fit and details |
| AS Colour Women's Supply Hood and Womens Supply Crew | 290 gsm, 80% cotton 20% polyester anti-pill fleece | Regular fit, raglan sleeves, preshrunk. The hood has a kangaroo pocket and a lined hood |
| AS Colour Womens Relax Crew | 320 gsm, 80% cotton 20% recycled polyester anti-pill fleece | Relaxed fit with a drop shoulder |
| AS Colour Womens Relax Half Zip Hood | 320 gsm, 80% cotton 20% recycled polyester | Relaxed fit, zip at the front placket, double layer hood with no drawcord |
| AS Colour Womens Stencil Hood | 350 gsm, 80% cotton 20% polyester anti-pill fleece | Regular fit, inset sleeves, tonal shoestring drawcord |
| AS Colour Womens Heavy Hood | 400 gsm CVC fleece, 80% cotton 20% polyester | Relaxed, oversized fit with dropped shoulders |
The Relax Hood and Heavy Crew sit alongside these, and each product page carries its full specification. For a staff or team order we'd start with the Supply Hood or Supply Crew: 290 gsm is warm enough for a cool morning and light enough to wear indoors, and it is the sensible weight when you're buying for people you can't fit individually. If the garment is a gift and should feel generous, step up to the Relax or Stencil weights. The Heavy Hood is for a boxy, oversized look and you pay for the extra fabric. Sizes mostly run from XS to 2XL, though the Heavy Hood stops at XL and the Relax Half Zip Hood goes to 3XL.
Which jackets are in this range?
Three outerwear styles sit in the same grid. The Womens Puffer Jacket is heavy weight with a 100% recycled polyester shell and lining and an 80% down, 20% feather fill, and its page describes it as water and wind resistant. The Womens Rain Jacket is a seam-taped, 100% recycled PU shell, with the page stating waterproofing of 10,000 mmH2O to the JIS L1092B test. The Womens College Bomber Jacket is a 150 gsm recycled polyester shell with a quilted padded lining. All three have an invisible lining access zip to assist with branding, and each is listed in black.
How can you brand women's sweatshirts and knits?
These are cotton-rich fleeces, so the methods that work are the ones that suit cotton. That rules out sublimation, which only takes on polyester and light fabric.
- For most hoodie and crew orders, screen printing is the one we'd pick: a one or two colour chest logo or a larger back print bonds well to fleece, and the cost per garment falls as the quantity grows.
- DTF transfers suit full-colour artwork, fine detail or a small run, because there are no separate colour setups, though the feel and wash life differ from a screen print.
- Embroidery gives a stitched, uniform look that suits a left-chest logo on a Supply Crew or a half-zip hood, but small lettering and fine detail 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 slogan across the back is easy to set up. Our artwork team confirms the method and logo size on your free digital proof, and nothing is made until you approve it.
Ordering women's sweatshirts
There's no minimum, so a team of eight can order as easily as a franchise ordering several hundred. Colours, sizes and styles can be mixed in one order, and the whole order counts toward quantity pricing, which many of these products show on the product page. Your quote confirms the branded price. Send a size breakdown with your enquiry, because the Heavy Hood stops at XL, then you'll see a proof, approve it, and we decorate in house.
Who buys women's sweatshirts and knits?
Businesses issue hoodies to staff and new starters, so the logo is seen by customers and colleagues through every cool-weather working day, and many add a tee and beanie in a kitting pack. Clubs, school parent groups and event crews order one design for everyone, which makes people easy to spot and the same artwork easy to reorder next season. Corporate gift buyers pick a name-brand hoodie for an end-of-year reward, because people keep a good one for years. For Christmas, book early, as production slots fill from September.
What goes with women's sweatshirts?
Most buyers add AS Colour ladies t-shirts for warmer days and an AS Colour beanie to finish the set, or AS Colour women's pants and shorts for a full uniform. For the same styles in men's sizing, see AS Colour men's sweatshirts and knits, and for juniors, AS Colour kids sweatshirts.
