Men's Wholesale Hoodies: Hoodie & Fleece Wholesalers
Men's wholesale hoodies — pullover and zip fleece from blank brands and distributors.
The hoodie is the workhorse garment of the imprint business: the piece that carries team logos, company branding, event graphics and streetwear labels, and the anchor of every fleece program. Wholesale hoodies are sold two ways - as branded blanks through national distributors, and directly from blank manufacturers - to printers, embroiderers and retailers. The directory below collects both, alongside this section's sweatshirt and blanks pages.

Fleece Weights and Fabrics, in Plain Terms
Hoodies are specified by fabric weight and blend. Lightweight fleece around 6-8 ounces suits layering and warm climates; midweight 8-10 ounce fleece is the volume standard for team and corporate wear; heavyweight fleece of 10 ounces and up - including the cross-knit and premium three-end fleeces in the listings - is what streetwear and retail-quality programs are built on. Cotton-rich faces print and embroider best; polyester-rich blends hold color and resist shrinkage.
Construction separates a program garment from a giveaway: double-lined hoods, twill neck tape, split kangaroo pockets that do not sag, and side-seamed bodies that keep their shape through washing. When comparing quotes across the brands and distributors listed here, compare ounce weight and blend first - price differences usually trace straight back to them.
Buying Hoodies: Brands, Distributors and Decoration
Blank manufacturers design the garment; distributors warehouse everyone's. A decorator buying one brand in depth may open a direct account, but most printers and small brands buy through the national distributors in the listings, which stock dozens of brands in regional warehouses for next-day ground delivery and consolidate the whole fleece order on one invoice.
Buy for the decoration you actually run. Screen printing wants a smooth, cotton-rich face; embroidery wants fleece stable enough to hold a stitch-dense logo without puckering; DTG printing wants high cotton content and a tight knit. Order a sample in the exact style and color before a program buy - the listings' brands all sell into sample programs through their distributors.
Common Questions
What fleece weight is best for a wholesale hoodie?
Midweight 8-10 ounce fleece is the all-purpose standard for team, school and corporate programs. Go heavier - 10 ounces and up - for streetwear and retail programs where hand feel is the product, and lighter for layering pieces and warm climates.
What is the difference between a blank brand and a distributor?
A blank brand manufactures the garments; a distributor warehouses many brands and sells them to printers and businesses. Most buyers purchase through distributors for consolidated stock and delivery, even when they specify one brand's style.
Which hoodie fabrics are best for screen printing?
Cotton-rich and 100 percent cotton-face fleece prints most smoothly. High-polyester fleece can need special inks and handling for dye migration, which is why printers favor the cotton-face styles in the listings for decorated programs.
