Title: Thick hoodies and clothing manufacturers
Post by: Liam on July 29, 2022, 12:34:05 AM
What's up, I'm looking for a thick hoodie for fall.
Looked at hoodies in my local shop (it's small) and the best I could find were passport hoodies for sure. Unfortunately none I liked fitted me. Does anybody know what clothing manufacturer passport uses or who else makes thick hoodies?

Thanks in advance

Depends on what you're looking to spend, I had a Dime hoodie that was really nice and thick but they're pretty pricy. Carhartt hoodies get the job done pretty well.

If you don't mind spending a little extra (like maybe double) I would suggest 3sixteen. I bought a hoodie from them like 5 years ago that I wear almost every day for 6 months a year and the cuffs are just now starting to fray. Best hoodie I ever had. I have the zipper one but they make a pullover one too.

It's a slim fit and no logo. I bought mine from Self Edge.

Their price to quality is hard to beat. They make the hoodies in different weights - Light,med,heavy

Bad marketing but American Giant; very heavy and thick (and I hate those thin light feeling jawns).

they make my fav hoodies! they have a depop where they sell items at a discounted price due to not passing quality check, have minor defects, etc.

A lot of skate brands use Independent Trading Co for their blanks, might be worth checking out. I know for a fact Crailtap and Independent use them.

I second this. I work at a printshop and they're the best fitting heavy hoodie. You'll want the IND4000. And it's not owned by super creep Dov Charney like LA Apparel so that's a plus

Roopa Mills is good. Canadian fleece. They do supreme blanks but you can get them for half price and without any branding straight from them.

I have a thrasher one (just the basic logo hoodie) that's really thick and one of my favorites to wear in the winter. Although I've probably had it for 10 years now, so idk what theirs are currently like. Not sure if you like baseball at all, but if you can get one of the Majestic ones from before Nike took over the MLB apparel contract they are awesome. Really thick and warm. I have a Phillies majestic one that's probably my favorite hoodie for when it's cold out and I don't want to wear a jacket. I hate that Nike makes all the MLB stuff now, Majestic was the shit.

I skated in this sweatshirt all last winter including mornings when it was below 20 degrees Fahrenheit in Philly with just a t-shirt underneath and no jacket.  It’s extremely comfortable and very warm without being close to unbearably heavy.  Looks like the price went up but I think it was only $39.99 when I bought it.  Can’t recommend it enough for the price and it’s very durable.

Arborwear makes super heavy weight hoodies as well. Spendy but solid with HUGE hoods. Carharrt is good for the ticket though. Hoods could be bigger but they're thick, water resistant and warm as fuck. There's a reason fisherman/construction/trades workers worethemt before they were trending

I was gonna say Bayside Apparel too.  I try to buy American made anything whenever I can.  I wear the Bayside crewneck sweatshirt.  I last bought one here https://www.clothingshoponline.com/p/bayside/1102_usa-made-crewneck-sweatshirt (https://www.clothingshoponline.com/p/bayside/1102_usa-made-crewneck-sweatshirt)

Damn i should've mentioned i live in Germany. I checked Independent Trading Co and they're just what I'm looking for. Unfortunately they don't ship to Europe themselves. Guess I'll have to figure out a triangle connection. If anybody has experience with ordering Independent Trading Co to Europe, that would also be appreciated.

Thanks again, you guys rule

Edit: My Labor hoody is the IND4000 fit so i can highly recommend!

ITC make a few diff hoods, the 4000 is the most common, seen spitfire, passport, butter goods and many others use this. Their thickest, heaviest is the 5000, the Legend hood. It’s reverse weave too like champion hoods, so little to no vertical shrinkage.

Edit: just seen your comment about living in Germany. You can probably still get a blank off Amazon? Seen them on there shipping international

No useful information here, just want to shout out this 20 year old Matix hoody that I was just admiring while folding laundry. Made In USA and an absolute tank. Been in regular use since i got it (my mom/sister had it for about a decade and wore it all the time until I realized it fit me even better now and took it back)

I’m a big guy but I have a very long torso.  My problem is always getting hoodies that are too short and always ride up. 

I gave up on skate brands and found a North Face hoodie at their outlet that is extra long and nice and roomy as well as thick.
