Design Your Own Hoodie, Handmade In London
Custom printed hoodies are such a fun and contemporary way of showing off your personal style. Every hoodie is printed, and sewn by hand and is available with a 48-hour turnaround with no minimum order, so if you are looking to create a hoodie just for yourself or a whole line for your own brand, Contrado is the only place to be. Make your own hoodie from our super soft Loopback Jersey. Printing on white Loopback Jersey will give you a bright and punchy print. This characteristic jersey fabric is full of personality and is unique due to its special kind of knit, which goes through the back loop and twists the stitch - hence its name.
Your label, your brand
Promote your brand, with our sewn-in Labels. Our Custom Hoodies UK come with the option to add a custom label: this big, bold full-colour label is a great platform to promote your brand. Print with your brand name or logo, add sizing information and more. You can even print a name or a personal message. Custom labels add a professional touch to your custom-made hoodies and will get your brand recognised.

With our zipper finish, we recommend layering it over our Cut and Sew Vest and topping it off with our Custom Beanie Hat, for a relaxed yet on-trend outfit. Our pull-over version is a great addition to skinny jeans and boots or worn under our Custom Bomber Jacket. Have fun mixing it up.

Good quality clothing, with some flaws
The hoodie I purchased fit perfectly, with a great print, however the lack of colour on the inside leaves something to be desired.

Hoodie
Contrado is a brilliant source to to build your brand. The stunning quality of the hand crafted garments and the vibrancy of the prints are absolutely amazing. I could have used a little more communication along the way however I understand the current Covid situation that everyone in the UK faces and wouldn't hold that against Contrado. I'm happy they are still providing their service throughout this however as being a whole seller, it has kept me on my feet. 😊

10/10 would totally buy another
I designed and bought a hoodie with Contrado - it looked absolutely perfect and matched the exact specifications I had laid out. It's a really nice material and very comfortable, and the colors are spot on. My only issue was that it's pretty expensive - that being said I was still really happy with the finished product. It arrived really quickly, much faster than I'd thought, too!

Excellent quality and Custom options
I ordered a custom hoodie as a gift from a friend, going off a sketch they liked.
The options on the website were far more detailed than others I looked at (different parts could be coloured e.g. each sleeve could be different and hood lining) and I could choose my own custom colours rather than a preset list.
The hoodie arrived in remarkably quick time (< 4 business days) and the quality is amazing! The custom colours I chose were spot on, the design print is really well applied to the fabric and the seams are very durable. My friend wears it every day and loves it, 10/10

Poor quality...the size was big even though I ordered small size and also the printing of the logo was no clear it was bleary. Plus the fabric was thick too! I wasted a lot of money and end of the day I get a poor quality product! Never gonna use this company and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone!

Good quality & fast delivery
Very happy with results. This was a one-off order but would consider using Contrado for future merch for my business if there is a wholesale discount available!

All around excellent!
My Hoodie is perfect! It looks just like the thumbnail on the website, the printing is perfect, the sewing is neat and tidy, the pattern matching on the pocket pouch is exemplary. I love that the hood is lined and the weight and quality of the fabric is really nice. I'm thrilled with it, and Contrado!

Wonderful service. Great quality products that are durable. Very pleased!
You can customise nearly every part of our personalised hoodie. Not only can you design the front, back, right and left sleeves and left and right external hood, but you can also design the interior fabric of the hood. There is no limit. You also have the option to choose your fabric, zip, trim and stitch colour and whether to add a brand label or message.
What is the fit of the Custom Hoodies UK like?
Our UK printed hoodie is comfy and super soft. We designed it to fit quite true to life, so the fit really depends on your style preference. If you want a regular fit, then we suggest your regular size. If however, you prefer a more fitted and slim fit hoodie, then go down a size and, alternatively, if you like a baggier, more relaxed look, go a size up.
Can I print one image over the whole hoodie?
This is an all-over print hoodie. As you design your own hoodie, cut and sewn rather than a pre-made design, it is not possible to print a single image over each of the 7 parts in one hit. Your design will be printed over the panels and you have the option to replicate the same design over every part. You can design individual segments for each panel to get the image all over.

Print Guideline
What's the best resolution to print in?
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change colour using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
How will my image scale?
When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results. What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
What is gsm?
Grams per square meter (gsm) is the unit of measurement used to measure the weight of a paper or fabric. This measurement uses the weight of one square metre (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a fabric. We classify fabrics of 10-100gsm as light (fabrics for summer, fine silk), fabrics of 101-249gsm as medium (most fabrics for clothing) and fabrics of more than 250gsm as thick (upholstery and other specialised fabrics).
What is the bleed area?
When creating your product, it is important to make sure that your image is a little wider than the size needed. In printing, the bleed area allows you to obtain a borderless print. We would advise filling the blead areas, maked with a red checkered area, to ensure you don't end up with white edges. You should make sure that you do not put important details within the bleed area as these will quite likely be lost.
What is crocking and why might it occur?
Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colours are used. It can be minimised by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.
Why do my colours appear lighter on organic fabrics?
Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibres, reducing the colour strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colours we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.
Can you perfectly join two separately printed panels?
We always try to provide the utmost precision in printing and manufacturing. However, due to unavoidable stretching or movement of the fabric at the time of sewing, we can not guarantee a perfect alignment of the pattern on the seams of the garment. Generally we are accurate to 2-3mm, which is sufficient for most reasons but can pose minor problems with patterns or geometric designs.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Is it possible to print your own label?
Most of our clothing is made with a label space. You can print your label and add information about your brand. If you want to sew your own labels, we offer customizable labels of different sizes.
Can I print on both sides of the fabric?
We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as a lot of our fabrics are semi-transparent. As the customer, you can consider the effect of printing on both sides one of our fabrics and contact us, and we will get back to you if it's feasible.
Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them like you do with the normal fabric labels?
At the moment no, our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now this is the best choice. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into label format.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.
Why are there slight colour differences between my orders?
We work at improving our colour profiles all the time. Though rare it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight colour differences, this is normal and part of the process when we are constantly improving. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a huge difference (like orange instead of red for example). Please bear in mind such colour variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric; natural fabrics tend to have more muted colours than their poly alternatives. This is due to the construction of the materials as well as the print methods that have to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.
Why is there a barcode inside my clothing?
Due to our internal processes here at Contrado, there will be a barcode printed on your garment. This is inside the clothing and will not affect your design. It is usually found towards the bottom.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, you may find a slight variance in the sizes.
