What changes as fleece gets heavier

  • Structure. Heavier fleece holds its shape and drapes less.
  • Cost. You pay for it twice: a higher blank price and higher shipping weight. Run it through the calculator.
  • Printing. Thick, fuzzy fleece can be harder to print fine detail on; ask your printer for a test.

People on r/streetwearstartup regularly compare what they earn per hoodie [source]. The useful number is contribution margin after the blank, print, freight, packaging, fees and defects, which is exactly what the margin calculator works out.

  2. Blank specs, prices and printer listings: the Blankdex index, each with its own source link and check date.

Reddit threads are cited as evidence that a question comes up often, not as proof of any claim.
