A classic zipper hoodie is ideal for creating a stylish layered look. Our zipper finish hoodie features a sturdy zip and you can opt between a black, white or grey zip.

Pull-Over Hoodie
If zips aren't your style, then we recommend the pull-over hoodie option. This stylish hoodie allows you to print a solid design without interference from a zip.

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.
Style it with
From slogan hoodies to designer hoodies, one thing is for sure, this versatile piece is beloved by pretty much everyone! As such, you can really have a lot of fun creating stylish and laid-back looks. 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.
Care instruction
Turn inside out, wash 30°c, hang to dry or low heat tumble dry.

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!

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!

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!

Frequently asked questions:
Which parts of the hoodie can I customise?
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.
This hoodie is an awesome unisex garment: Ladies, please select 2 Sizes Smaller than their regular size to ensure an accurate fit.

Print Guideline
![DPI-Print Guideline Icon]()
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.
![scaling-Print Guideline Icon]()
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.
![RGB-CMYK Print Guideline Icon]()
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.
![crocking-Print Guideline Icon]()
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.
![organics-Print Guideline Icon]()
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.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, you may find a slight variance in the sizes.
