Ideal For
The 5109 Premium Full Zip Hoodie is purpose-built for brands and decorators who need a zip-front blank with a refined, retail-quality hand feel. The 100% ringspun cotton face gives this piece a noticeably softer finish than standard fleece, a detail your clients will feel immediately. At 7.8oz, it sits in the sweet spot for layering pieces, outerwear programs, and year-round corporate apparel. There is no minimum order on standard stock, so decorators can order a single piece to test fit and print before committing to a full program.
Deciding between a full-zip and pullover silhouette depends on how your clients plan to use the hoodie. Our blank hoodie buying guide breaks down the key choices.
Fabric & Construction
Constructed from 264 GSM (7.8oz) 80/20 cotton-polyester fleece with a 100% ringspun cotton face yarn, the 5109 features a tighter, smoother surface compared to open-end cotton. That distinction matters for print clarity and hand feel. The 80/20 blend leans into cotton softness while the poly component adds shape retention and reduces pilling over time. The hood is fully lined with a heavy drawstring cord, and spandex-reinforced ribbing at cuffs and hem maintains structure through repeated laundering. Double-needle stitching at all major seams provides production-grade durability. The YKK metal zipper runs the full front with a clean tape finish, the tear-away label enables private-label rebranding, and the regular fit provides consistent sizing across the full size run.
Decoration Guide
The ringspun cotton face delivers a smooth, tight-knit surface that takes ink and thread with precision, and screen printers will appreciate the consistent lay of the fabric. For left-chest embroidery (the most common placement on zip hoodies), the 80/20 weight holds stitching cleanly without puckering. DTG on zip hoodies requires careful platen alignment around the zipper, so results are good but shop workflow is slightly slower than pullover styles.
| Method | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Screen Printing | Excellent | Ringspun face yields sharp, vibrant prints |
| DTG | Good | Excellent results. Zipper requires platen adjustment |
| Embroidery | Good | Left-chest and back yoke placements work well |
| Heat Transfer / HTV | Good | Cotton face accepts transfers at standard settings |
| Sublimation | Not Recommended | Cotton-dominant blend does not hold sublimation dye |
Pairs Well With
Pair with the 8801 Fleece Joggers for a coordinated full-zip set in matching colorways. Layer over the 1003 Combed Cotton Tee for a clean layered look. For clients who prefer a pullover silhouette in a similar premium hand feel, offer the P280 Midweight Pullover Hoodie alongside the 5109. The 7770 Fleece Shorts round out a warm-weather capsule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fabric weight and blend of the 5109 full zip hoodie?
The 5109 is 7.8 oz (264 GSM), an 80/20 cotton-poly fleece with a 100 percent ringspun cotton face yarn for a softer, tighter-knit surface than standard fleece. It comes in 12 colorways and sizes XS to 3XL, and falls in our lightweight weight band.
Is there a minimum order quantity for the 5109 hoodie?
No. There is no minimum order on standard stock, so you can order a single piece to test fit and decoration before committing to a full program. Sizes and colors can also be mixed freely within one order.
How fast does the 5109 hoodie ship, and what about custom colors?
In-stock paid orders placed by 12pm PT ship the same day. Custom colors on the existing 5109 style require 600 pieces per color, and a brand new custom cut and sew style requires 2,400 units. Custom production takes 120 days total, 60 days production and 60 days shipping.
Where is the 5109 hoodie designed and manufactured?
The 5109 is designed in the Los Angeles Fashion District and manufactured in Pakistan at a WRAP-certified partner factory that also holds FLA, C-TPAT, Sedex, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and amfori BSCI certification.
What decoration methods work best on the 5109 full zip hoodie?
Screen printing is excellent on the 5109’s ringspun cotton face, which holds sharp, vibrant prints. DTG and embroidery both rate good, though DTG needs careful platen alignment around the zipper. Heat transfer and HTV bond cleanly at standard settings. Sublimation gives a muted, vintage style effect on this 80/20 blend rather than full vibrancy, since full sublimation brightness needs 100 percent polyester, which Three Layer does not stock.
How does the 5109 compare to a Bella+Canvas 3719 full zip hoodie?
The 5109 runs slightly lighter and more cotton forward at 7.8 oz (264 GSM) in an 80/20 cotton-poly blend with a 100 percent ringspun cotton face, against the Bella+Canvas 3719’s 8.0 oz solid-color blend of 52 percent Airlume combed ring-spun cotton and 48 percent poly fleece, 32 singles, 90/10 in Athletic Heather. Both are full zip styles built for retail-quality decoration, so the choice comes down to hand feel and cotton percentage rather than a quality gap.
