Custom Independent Brand Sweatshirts
When starting a clothing line it can be tough to know which brand to put your designs on. Often the main factors are price vs quality. With Independent, you can be sure you’re getting high quality at decent pricing. The Independent brand is know for its high quality manufacturing with features like 100% cotton draw strings, double lined hoods, and durable metal zippers. Some of these sweatshirts have extra features like 100% cotton face which makes them excellent to print and opens them up to new print possibilities. Going with this brand is a great way to ensure your customers are happy and comfortable.
Midweight Independent Apparel Line
The Midweight Independent line, consisting of a Pullover, Zip, Crewneck, and Youth Pullover sweatshirt, is a versatile lineup that offers many different printing options. These items are 80/20 Cotton Polyester with 100% cotton face. So what does this mean for you? The high cotton content makes these soft and comfy to wear and midweight material means they’re great for all seasons. Because of the 100% cotton facing these items can use Discharge Inks or a Direct-to-Garment (Digital Print) Method. For more information on these methods, check out our printer’s blogs on DTG Printing and Discharge Inks.
Heavyweight, Cali Wash and Sherpa Lined Independent Apparel Line
If you like the sound of the Midweight hoodies but you need something a bit thicker, the Independent Heavyweight Pullover hoodie has all the same features but a thicker material. Need a ladies cut? The Cali Wave Wash Ladies Pullover hoodie is a super soft lightweight hoodie with a raglan sleeve and raw edge look to the collar and bottom. If you want a hoodie that’s going to keep you super cozy in the cold months, go for the Independent Sherpa lined zip hoodie. This hoodie is lined with a 100% polyester Sherpa on the interior of the garment with double contrasting draw strings, thumb holes, and matching antique nickel eyelets and draw string tips.
Best Decoration Methods for Each Style
Part of the Independent charm is each style has just a bit of that unique design aspect that will make your art stand out that much better. On the Midweight and Heavyweight hoodies, you’re open to Screen Printing using Plastisol, Reduced or Discharge inks and Direct-to-Garment printing. For the Ladies Cali Wash hoodie and Sherpa lined hoodie we recommend sticking with Plastisol or Reduced inks only. When it comes to embroidery, the Heavyweight and Sherpa lined hoodies are thick enough to hold up your beautiful embroidered design.
