ODM Light-Brushed Cotton Fleece Side-Tape Zip Hoodie

This light-brushed cotton fleece side-tape zip hoodie combines a clean full-zip front with an adjustable hood, discreet welt pockets and dark contrast tape running along the sleeves. The lightly brushed outer face keeps the charcoal surface smooth and soft, while the thick fuzzy backing adds warmth and comfort. It is suitable for cooler-season athleisure, travel sets and coordinated casualwear collections.

350 GSM Cotton Fleece with Two Brushing Levels

Soft Outer Face and Warm Brushed Backing

The garment face receives a light brushing treatment to soften the surface without creating excessive fuzz. The reverse is brushed more heavily to form a dense, warm interior. Bulk approval should define the acceptable face texture, backing loft and lint level after washing.

Natural Cotton Comfort and Shrinkage Control

The 100% cotton composition provides a breathable, familiar handfeel with substantial weight. Cotton can shrink and relax during laundering, so fabric testing and measurement allowances must be confirmed before pattern dimensions and zipper length are finalized.

Adjustable Hood and Neckline Balance

The hood uses a raised front neckline with drawcord exits and metal cord ends. Hood depth, crown shape and neck circumference should be approved together. Eyelets require reinforcement, and the drawcord should move freely without pulling the neckline out of shape.

Full-Zip Front and Hem Alignment

Keeping the Zipper Line Flat

The front zipper should remain straight without rippling or twisting. Zipper tape, front-panel length and sewing tension need to be compatible with the cotton fleece. Both front hems must meet evenly when the zipper is closed.

Allowing for Post-Wash Change

Zipper length should be released only after shrinkage testing. A stable zipper combined with shrinking cotton panels may create waviness if the allowance is not controlled.

Sleeve Side Tape and Placement Accuracy

Dark contrast tape runs from the shoulder toward the cuff, creating a vertical sportswear detail. Tape width, position and attachment tension should match on both sleeves. Combined wash testing should confirm that the tape does not shrink differently, twist the sleeve or create edge rippling.

Welt Pockets, Rib Cuffs and Hem Recovery

Welt pocket openings should lie flat and remain symmetrical while providing practical hand access. Rib cuffs and the lower band must recover after stretching and maintain consistent tension. Attachment seams should remain flexible without becoming wavy after laundering.
