Custom Polka Dot Hoodie with Contrast Applique for Boutique and Label Brands

What this reference piece is

An oversized pullover hooded sweatshirt with a small repeated dot print across the body and sleeves, an attached hood, dropped shoulder seams and a front kangaroo pocket. The chest lettering is applied as a separate contrast panel, not as a flat print.

How we develop it

Send a tech pack or reference images with your target quantity and size range. Print repeat, print method, colour and placement are confirmed before the first sample, together with fit, trims and labelling.

Allover polka dot print

A small repeated dot print runs across the body and the sleeves, and the reference also shows a solid colourway with a printed lettering panel. Repeat size, print method and colour are confirmed against your artwork before sampling.

Contrast applique lettering

The chest lettering is cut from a contrasting printed or plain material so it reads clearly against the dotted base. Material, edge finish and stitch detail are agreed at sample stage.

Kangaroo pocket with ribbed trims

A front kangaroo pocket runs across the lower body, with rib knit cuffs and ribbed hem band finishing the garment. Print registration across seams is checked on the first sample.

Fabric development

Print-base knit options are quoted against your fabric brief; composition, weight and print base are confirmed by supplier specification before bulk.

Print and applique development

Chest applique, allover print and embroidery are set up through our private label branding service, with artwork proofs and strike-offs issued before sampling.

Colour and colourway planning

Reference colourways are blush and blue polka dot and butter yellow. Lab dips and print colour matching are confirmed against your palette.

Quality control on printed goods

Print registration, repeat alignment and shade consistency are checked at inline and final inspection; see our factory and quality control background for how our lines are run.
