ACBuy Hoodies / Sweaters Guide

Hoodies and sweaters are where fabric weight and print technique make or break the value proposition. The ACBuy spreadsheet lists dozens of entries, but the difference between a 380gsm blank and a 280gsm alternative is not always obvious from the title. In 2026, the trend has shifted toward heavier French terry and cross-grain fleece that holds structure after multiple washes. This guide covers how to read the spreadsheet for fabric codes, what print methods to expect, and why some hoodies look correct in photos but feel wrong in hand.
