What Makes a Hoodie Worth Ordering in Bulk?
GSM — The Most Important Number
| GSM | Feel | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 180–220 GSM | Thin, light | Summer events only |
| 260–300 GSM | Mid-weight | Year-round casual |
| 320–380 GSM | Premium, structured | College merch, team kits |
At Alma Mater Store, our bulk hoodies are 350 GSM French terry fleece — pre-shrunk, brushed interior, double-stitched seams. The kind that holds its shape after 50 washes.
Construction Details That Matter
- Double-stitched seams — prevents splitting at stress points
- Ribbed cuffs and hem — keeps shape, doesn't stretch out
- Kangaroo pocket reinforcement — no sagging after daily use
- Pre-shrunk fabric — what you order is what you get, size-wise

Sizing a Bulk Hoodie Order: The Right Way
- Collect sizes before ordering — Google Form or WhatsApp poll. Never estimate.
- Order a size buffer — Add 5–10% extra in M, L, XL (the most common sizes).
- Unisex vs. fitted — For mixed groups, unisex sizing is safer and more inclusive.
- Request our size chart — We provide measurements in inches and centimetres for every product.
- Check shrinkage specs — Our hoodies are pre-shrunk, but we'll confirm exact post-wash dimensions.
Colour Selection: How to Pick the Right Hoodie Colour for Your Group
- College fests — Bold, high-contrast colours (black, navy, forest green, burgundy) photograph best on stage and in reels
- Corporate teams — Brand-matched colours using Pantone references; we offer colour-matching on bulk orders
- Sports teams — High-visibility colours (royal blue, red, orange) for on-field presence
- Alumni batches — Classic neutrals (charcoal, off-white, olive) that people actually wear post-college
We stock 20+ standard colours and can Pantone-match for orders above 100 pieces.
