Technical Specifications

What Is a Hooded Sweatshirt?

A hooded sweatshirt (hoodie) is a corporate top positioned as an autumn–winter transitional layer, with a hood, a kangaroo pocket and ribbed sweat fabric. It sits between a T-shirt and a jacket and is ideal in the 8–14 °C temperature range. The hood gives practical protection against wind, light rain and a cold head — so for outdoor field staff and operational teams, the sweatshirt-plus-hood combination removes the need to carry an extra beanie or cap.

In Türkiye's climate, it is the top layer corporate buyers order most from October to March. In logistics, parcel services, couriers, warehouse operations, outdoor staff at production facilities, event teams and tech companies, it is worn on its own as a mid layer or as an under layer beneath a jacket or parka.

At Mars Wear, the hooded sweatshirt can be fully customised in terms of fabric (standard 280 g ribbed or 320 g winter three-thread brushed fleece), colour and logo method. All our production starts at 100 pieces; it is designed not for small single-site businesses but for corporate companies, logistics chains, parcel and courier brands, factories and production facilities, retail chains, tech companies, event organisers and private security firms.

Which Sectors Choose It?

Logistics, warehousing and parcel companies: The autumn–winter standard for staff on open loading bays, in warehouse operations and in last-mile delivery. The hood protects the head in cold weather and light rain; the front kangaroo pocket makes it practical to carry a phone, gloves and handheld terminals. There are details on the logistics and warehouse workwear page.

Factories and production facilities: Ideal for field staff working in semi-open workshops, cold production lines and raw material transfer areas. The two-opening kangaroo pocket is practical for carrying shift equipment. You can browse the factory and production workwear category.

Courier, food delivery and last-mile brands: A basic garment for motorcycle, cycle and on-foot delivery teams. The hood can be worn under a helmet and gives extra protection outdoors. A back print of the brand logo creates a key canvas for recognition.

Tech companies, start-ups and software firms: The hoodie has become a symbol of casual corporate culture; it is widely used as an everyday office uniform, in onboarding gift packs and as company event wear. It is a standard item in annual staff clothing budgets.

Retail chains and store brands: The top layer of choice for store staff in the autumn–winter season. A choice that fits the brand identity of sports chains, youth brands and outdoor retail. Pantone-based corporate colours give consistency across multiple locations.

Events, trade fairs and sponsorship: Ideal for autumn–winter events, sector trade fairs and sponsorship wear at sports events. The wide back print area is used for the event logo and sponsor brand.

Private security companies: The mid-season mid-layer uniform of security companies. Dark shades are preferred. The back print is used for "GÜVENLİK" (security) or the company name.

Note: The Mars Wear minimum order is 100 pieces. This structure is designed for corporate companies, chain brands and operations with large staff numbers rather than small single-site businesses.

Hooded vs Crew-Neck Sweatshirt

Rule of thumb: For outdoor field operations, courier/delivery work and a casual brand identity, choose the hooded version; for indoor operations, offices and a classic corporate look, choose the crew-neck. Alternatives: Crew-Neck Sweatshirt — classic · Printed Fleece Jacket — winter top layer · Long-Sleeved Polo Work Shirt — under layer.

Fabric Options

Standard production uses 50% cotton / 50% polyester blend ribbed sweat, 280 g; it holds heat, dries quickly and shrinks little. For winter requests, a three-thread brushed fleece, 320 g option is offered — its brushed inner face gives extra insulation. An antibacterial fabric and water repellency for an outer layer are added on request. For a detailed fabric comparison, see our fabric guide page.

Colour Options

20+ stock colours are ready: dark shades (black, navy, anthracite, dark grey, burgundy, dark green), light shades (white, grey marl, light grey, cream), bright shades (red, orange, blue, green) and special shades (brown, tan, khaki). Custom Pantone colour production is possible from a minimum of 200 pieces and adds 1–2 weeks to the process. For chain brands, the same batch colour is guaranteed all year round.

Logo and Printing Methods

With its wide front and especially back area, the hooded sweatshirt is an ideal canvas for printing. Embroidery on the left chest withstands 200+ washes. Transfer print allows multi-colour logos on the centre front and back. Screen printing offers the best unit cost for bulk orders of 500+ pieces. For details on choosing a method, see our logo printing and embroidery methods guide.

Care Instructions

The hooded sweatshirt should be machine washed at 30–40 °C, inside out, without bleach. Knotting the hood drawcord before washing reduces damage. Natural drying is preferable to a tumble dryer; do not iron directly over embroidery or print. For detailed care, see our workwear care guide page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature range is a hooded sweatshirt suitable for?

It is used as an ideal mid layer at 8–14 °C, and as an under layer beneath a jacket or parka at 0–8 °C. In Türkiye its active season runs from October to March.

How should the hood drawcord be washed?

We recommend knotting the cord and tucking it inside the hood, then washing inside out at 30–40 °C. This stops the cord tangling in the machine and prevents damage to the metal-tipped ends.

What is the minimum order?

The minimum order for this product is 100 pieces. As the quantity rises, the unit price falls in tiers.

Which fabric suits winter?

The 320 g three-thread brushed fleece is ideal for winter requests; its brushed inner face increases insulation. The standard 280 g ribbed fabric is enough for autumn and spring.

Can the back be printed?

Yes, a hooded sweatshirt offers one of the widest areas for a back print. With transfer print and screen printing, a logo, slogan or brand name can be printed at A3–A2 size.

Do you make custom Pantone colours?

Yes. Pantone-based colours are produced from a minimum of 200 pieces; this adds 1–2 weeks to the process. For chain brands, the same batch colour is guaranteed all year round.

Is it suitable as an under layer beneath a jacket?

Yes. When worn under a jacket, the hood sits under the jacket's collar. Some wearers prefer the crew-neck model in this case.

What is the lead time?

Our standard lead time is 15 working days. In the busy season we recommend planning early.
