Getting the right fabric is probably the most important part of creating a great hoodie. But whether you're new to clothing design or already experienced, it's easy to get lost between different fabrics, knit structures, weights and GSMs. In this video, we break down everything you actually need to know about hoodie fabrics — including fleece, French terry, waffle knit and scuba. We’ll look at what makes each fabric different, when you should use them, and how to choose the right GSM and fabric weight for the hoodie you’re trying to create. By the end, you should have a clear understanding of the main hoodie fabric options and which one makes the most sense for your next design. If you're looking to manufacture your own custom hoodies, we've also got you covered. All the fabrics and weights discussed in this video are available for custom production through Labwear OS. https://www.labwearstudios.com/ For more clothing manufacturing content: Instagram: @labwearstudios
