Custom hoodies for men are among the most requested products in Guatemala for brands, uniforms, and sportswear. In this comprehensive guide, we explain how to choose the right model, technique, and process for your project.
Why Are Custom Hoodies a Success?
Hoodies are garments with a high perceived value. A custom hoodie with your logo or design conveys professionalism and strengthens your brand's identity. Furthermore, they are garments that people wear repeatedly, making them high-exposure walking advertisements.
Types of Men's Hoodies Available at BrandLab
1. Classic Hoodie with Hood
The most popular model. Available in medium weight (320 g/m²) and heavy weight (380 g/m²). Ideal for cold climates in Quetzaltenango, Chiquimula, or high-altitude areas of Guatemala. The hood and kangaroo pocket make it instantly recognizable.
2. Oversize Hoodie with Hood
The favorite model in current streetwear. Loose fit, dropped shoulders, and extended length. Perfect for urban fashion brands, content creators, and independent collections. Available from size S to 3XL.
3. Zipper Hoodie
Versatile and functional. The front zipper makes it more formal than the classic hoodie. Widely used in corporate uniforms and sports team apparel. It can be customized on the chest, back, and sleeves.
4. Crew Neck Sweatshirt (No Hood)
Clean and minimalist cut. Ideal for premium brands looking for a more sober look. The round neck allows more space for customization on the front.
Which Technique Should You Use to Customize Hoodies?
For hoodies, the three main techniques yield different results:
- Embroidery: The premium option. The logo has a raised texture. Ideal for brands seeking a high-end finish. Available from 6 pieces.
- DTF (Direct to Film): Perfect for full-color designs, illustrations, and complex artwork. The print remains flexible and withstands normal wear without issues.
- Screen Printing: For productions of 50+ pieces with designs of few colors. The most economical option for bulk orders.
