Selecting the ideal hooded sweatshirt amidst the plethora of options offered by Big City Sportswear can be overwhelming. To simplify your choice, we’re breaking down our top two hoodies. These coveted sweatshirts are favorites among colleges, sports teams, and outdoor-oriented businesses. Both the Gildan G185 and Jerzees 996 weigh in at 8 ounces and boast a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend, making the decision between the two a bit challenging.
Gildan 185
Our top-selling hoodie reigns supreme for its unbeatable comfort, affordability, and extensive color range of 25 vibrant choices. Buyers rave about its exceptional softness and its remarkable resistance to shrinking, a recurring accolade we receive time and again. The G185 stands out not just for its quality but also for its competitive pricing. Crafted with air jet yarn, it boasts a smooth, low-pill surface ideal for flawless screen printing. This feature ensures that your design stays crisp without the fabric texture peeking through.
Jerzees 996
This hoodie closely resembles the G185 in weight and material, sharing the same cotton/polyester blend. However, there exist subtle differences between the two.
A notable distinction lies in the color options available for each hoodie. The G185 boasts an impressive array of 46 colors, while the Jerzees 996 offers 31 shades—still a substantial selection. Another observation drawn from customer feedback over time is that the 996 tends to run slightly smaller. For those seeking a looser fit, we recommend ordering a size up.
As previously mentioned, although there are nuanced distinctions, both of these options offer well-crafted and comfortable choices for custom hoodies.
