Custom Ink Custom Printed Hoodie vs Independent Trading Co. SS4500 Hoodie

Both are blank hoodies meant for custom printing, and both are solid midweight cotton-poly options. The Custom Ink Gildan G185 is the safer pick for budget bulk orders and full size runs up to 5XL, with a proven pill-resistant air jet yarn and double-needle stitching. The Printify Independent Trading Co. SS4500 is the step up for feel and print detail: heavier 8.5 oz fleece, an 80/20 blend with a 100% cotton face, a jersey-lined hood and twill neck tape. Reviewers on both sides praise softness, true-to-size fit and printability; G185 owners note some shrinkage and a boxier fit, while the SS4500 runs a narrower size range.

• Choose the Custom Ink Gildan G185 if you need sizes up to 5XL, a boxier standard fit, or a high-visibility Safety Orange option for workwear and group orders.
• Choose the Printify Independent Trading Co. SS4500 if you want a softer, heavier fleece with a cotton face that takes DTG, screen print and embroidery cleanly.
