Plan a sample capsule using P280 hoodies, 8801 joggers, 1003 tees and CR280 crewnecks. The fleece pieces use 8.8 oz, 70/30 cotton-poly fabric, while 1003 uses 4.5 oz, 100% combed cotton with 30 singles yarn. We offer no minimum ordering from January through September. During our busy season, October through December, please order single sizes in packs of 6 (one polybag) per color, per size. Stock orders can mix sizes and colors.
Choose Stock or Custom Production
Use stock when an existing garment meets the fit and fabric brief. A custom color on an existing style requires 600 pieces per style per color for fleece styles and 1,200 for the 1003 and 1005 tees. A new style requires 2,400 units. Custom orders take 60 days production and 60 days shipping, 120 days total. Ask your decorator for its own minimum and completion date.
Step 1: Define the Fit and Artwork Brief
Write down the intended wearer, silhouette, decoration method and finished-garment delivery date before choosing a blank. For a streetwear launch, see the streetwear planning guide.
Step 2: Choose the Garments
Hoodies
The 15001 is regular fit at 12 oz in 80/20 brushed fleece, with 3 colors and sizes S to 3XL. The P280 is regular fit at 8.8 oz in 70/30 fleece, with 17 colors and sizes XS to 5XL. The lightweight 5108 is 7.8 oz in 80/20 fleece, with 13 colors and sizes XS to 5XL.
Tees
The 1003 offers 20 colors at 4.5 oz and 153 GSM in 100% combed cotton. For a heavier tee, compare 1005 at 6.0 oz and 203 GSM in 100% ringspun cotton, in Black and White. Both run S to 3XL.
Matching Fleece
P280 and CR280 can be paired with 8801 joggers or 7770 shorts. All four share 8.8 oz, 70/30 fleece. Choose a color offered on each selected style. Three Layer guarantees same-dye-lot matching across an order.
Step 3: Approve the Decoration
Give the decorator the exact SKU, color, size breakdown, artwork and placement. Compare screen printing, DTG, embroidery or transfers on a sample before choosing the method. No Three Layer blank is suitable for sublimation. Use the screen-printer question checklist before approving production.
Step 4: Calculate the Assortment
As a planning example, four styles in three colors produce 12 style-color combinations, while four colors produce 16. Each stocked size adds another SKU within a combination. Check shared color availability before assigning the palette.
| Style | Weight | Colors offered | Sizes |
|---|---|---|---|
| P280 hoodie | 8.8 oz | 17 | XS to 5XL |
| 8801 joggers | 8.8 oz | 15 | XS to 3XL |
| 1003 tee | 4.5 oz | 20 | S to 3XL |
| CR280 crewneck | 8.8 oz | 18 | S to 3XL |
Set quantities from confirmed demand and the decorator quote. The sample evaluation guide explains how to record fit and decoration results.
Step 5: Calculate the Launch Cost
Record blank, decoration, packaging, freight and expected spoilage costs by style. For a hypothetical $65 to $85 retail target, compare the decorated sample with your fit, fabric and artwork brief and calculate costs from the actual quotes. Inspect fit and print appearance after washing to the care instructions before committing the bulk order.
Your Next Steps
Keep the approved sample and product record, then prepare product photos of each actual garment. See the apparel photography guide for the shot list.
