Introduction: More Than Just a Hoodie

A college hoodie is not just a piece of clothing — it’s a badge of identity. It represents your batch, your memories, and your shared journey. Across India, from Delhi to Bangalore, customized college hoodies have become a must-have tradition for students and alumni.

But here’s the big question: How do you actually place a bulk order for college hoodies in India without stress, delays, or poor quality?

At Alma Mater Store, we’ve simplified the process into a step-by-step guide. Whether you’re a college student, alumni coordinator, or fest organizer, here’s everything you need to know to place your hoodie order with confidence.

Step 1: Decide Your Hoodie Design

Design is the heart of your hoodie. Before ordering in bulk, get clarity on:

  • Colors: Black, navy blue, grey, maroon are the classics. Want something bold? Try mustard, olive, or pastel shades.

  • Logo/Graphics: Add your college crest, fest logo, or team name.

  • Text: Batch year (e.g., Class of 2025), slogans (Work Hard, Play Harder), or even nicknames.

Pro Tip: Keep the design minimal but meaningful. Simple logos on the chest + large bold text on the back = the most popular choice.

Step 2: Select Hoodie Style

Every batch is different. Some like comfort, some like statement pieces. At Alma Mater Store, you can choose from:

  1. Pullover Hoodies – Classic, comfortable, always in demand.

  2. Zipper Hoodies – Great for casual and layering.

  3. Oversized Hoodies (Streetwear Fit) – A Gen Z favorite for college fests.

We even offer custom sizing options so that every student gets the perfect fit.

Step 3: Choose Your Fabric

Not all hoodies are made equal. Here’s a quick comparison:

Fabric Type Features Best For
Cotton (300 GSM) Soft, breathable, premium quality All-weather wear, daily use
Fleece-lined Warm, cozy, slightly heavier Winter batches, North India
Poly-cotton Blend Affordable, durable Large-scale college events

Step 4: Printing or Embroidery?

Your design can be customized using two main methods:

  • Screen Printing: Bold, vibrant colors; best for logos/text.

  • Embroidery: Premium look, long-lasting; best for logos/crests.

  • DTG (Direct-to-Garment): Photorealistic prints; great for detailed graphics.

For bulk orders (10+ hoodies), screen printing is the most cost-effective.

Step 5: Finalize the Quantity

  • Single orders: Yes, you can order even 1 hoodie (personalized with your name, design, or college logo).

  • Bulk orders: Start from 10 units and above.

  • Discounts: Pricing becomes most attractive when ordering 50+ units.

  • College batches: Most orders range between 100–500 hoodies.

  1. Visit Alma Mater Store.
