Sweatshirts & Crewnecks

A crewneck is the most-worn item in a cold-months merch wardrobe, and the gap between a $19 Gildan Softstyle Crewneck and an $85 Stormtech Montebello Thermal Quarter-Zip is fabric, fit and where the piece ends up. Both have a job; the discipline is matching the tier to the audience.

Three tiers cover it. Team issue ($19–25): Gildan Softstyle crewnecks and the Camden Brushed Fleece Quarter Zip — dependable, decoration-friendly, sized for a mixed team. Retail-grade ($30–45): the American Apparel Reflex Fleece Unisex Crewneck and Hooded Sweatshirt, plus the WNSDY Heavyweight Brushed Fleece Hoodie — streetwear-weight fleece people would buy themselves. Technical and premium ($55–85): Stormtech's Shasta Tech Fleece and Base Thermal quarter-zips and the Montebello, the tier for client gifting and senior teams. The Glenorchy Custom Knitted Jacquard Jumper and Blitzen Custom Knitted Christmas Jumper sit outside the tiers entirely — knitted-in jacquard for festive runs and campaign moments, minimum 100.

Decoration: embroidery is the first choice on fleece — a left-chest logo in matched or tonal thread reads considered and outlasts the garment. Screen print carries large front graphics; woven patches suit heavyweight fleece and knit jumpers where a stitched label looks better than ink. Quarter-zips are almost always left-chest territory — the placket breaks up a full front.

Minimums are friendlier than most apparel: 10 units on the Camden, Haven and WNSDY brushed fleece lines, 50 across most branded ranges, 100 on knitted jumpers. Men's and women's cuts run matched across the Stormtech and Lavar lines. Production typically two to three weeks; 48-hour dispatch on selected lines; freight quoted per job.
