Ideal For

The 8801 anchors matching-sweatsuit programs for streetwear brands, merch companies, and corporate gifting houses buying at wholesale volume. The 15-color palette covers neutrals, primaries, and trending tones like Sage and Olive, aligning with the P280 hoodie and CR280 crewneck for ready-made coordinated sets. It works equally well for loungewear lines, athletic warm-ups, event giveaways, and lifestyle collections where a tapered silhouette reads modern.

Fabric & Construction

Built from 8.8 oz (298 GSM) 70/30 cotton-poly fleece, the 8801 delivers the same weight and hand-feel as every piece in the Three Layer midweight fleece family. The regular-fit cut features a tapered leg and cuffed rib bottom that keeps the silhouette clean, while an elasticated waist with functional drawstring accommodates a wide size range. Off-seam pockets sit flat under print placements, and the two-side plus one-back pocket layout adds everyday functionality. The tear-away label makes private-label rebranding fast, ready for custom neck labels out of the carton.

Decoration Guide

Screen printing is the dominant method on joggers. The 298 GSM fleece face handles plastisol and water-based inks cleanly on left-leg, right-leg, and back-hip placements. DTG works well on the flat thigh panels, and the cotton-forward blend absorbs ink without dye migration, though heavier passes may be needed on the napped surface. Embroidery is best reserved for smaller logos with a firm cutaway stabilizer on the soft fleece. Heat-transfer vinyl is reliable for names and short-run work, while sublimation is not recommended on this blend.

Method	Rating	Notes
Screen Print	Excellent	Dense fleece holds plastisol and water-based on leg placements
DTG	Good	Cotton-forward blend absorbs ink. Use heavier passes on napped areas
Embroidery	Fair	Small logos. Firm cutaway stabilizer recommended on soft fleece
Heat Transfer	Good	HTV and printed transfers bond reliably on fleece surface
Sublimation	Not Recommended	70/30 cotton-poly blend prevents proper dye transfer

Pairs Well With

The 8801 is purpose-built to pair with the Midweight Pullover Hoodie (P280) or the Midweight Crewneck Sweatshirt (CR280) for full matching sweatsuits in the same 8.8 oz fabric, same colorways, and same dye lots. For warmer-weather set programs, swap the joggers for Fleece Shorts (7770) while keeping the same top. Brands running youth lines can extend the family with the Youth Fleece Jogger (Y5501) for size-inclusive set offerings.
