Some notable facts: Fleece is a blended material and any water based ink will have less success than a plastisol print. We can use plasticharge ink on the 80/20 cotton poly fleece with a great degree of success, but as always, plastisol is going to be your best bet for bright colors. Water-based will provide a soft hand, but the ink will not be as opaque.

A good replacement for Original Favorites. This hoodie has a slightly larger build to account for the density. The pullover is simple, coming in only a handful of colors, but it’s everything you could want in a warm cozy pullover. The way the panels are cut limits vertical shrinkage when washed and the addition of double ribbed side panels add stretch for a comfortable fit. Features of this hoodie include a double fleece lined hood, ribbing at the cuffs, waistband, and side panel, antique silver eyelets, and a shoestring drawcord with antique silver tips to match the eyelets.
