For zip-up hoodies we typically work with cotton-rich fleece, French terry and loopback constructions, choosing brushed or unbrushed backs depending on warmth and handfeel targets. Zippers, pullers, drawcords, aglets, rib knits, eyelets and pocket bags are specified together so weight, drape and price sit in the correct range for your brand. Optional metal trims can be added where you want a more elevated, streetwear-focused look.
