Zip-Through Hoodie Customization Program for Cycling and Triathlon with Custom Drawcord
Zip-Through Hoodie Customization Program for Cycling and Triathlon
This programme covers the full path from a zip-through hoodie concept to repeatable bulk supply for cycling and triathlon. The build starts from everyday-casual references — zip-through hoodie in french terry — then locks fabric weight, wash behaviour and fit tolerance so every reorder matches the approved sample.
Most zip-through hoodie buyers arrive with one of these problems: delivery missed the season drop, or the fabric felt thinner than the approved sample. The fix is a written spec before bulk: shrinkage allowance, stitch density, colour tolerance and a golden sample kept at the factory.

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 200 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.
How is shipping handled?
We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
What file formats do you need for artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for GOTS, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
