Smart Blanks VH500 Vintage Hoodie vs 7002HW Heavyweight Fleece Hoodie

Buy the Smart Blanks VH500 if you want a finished, faded vintage look straight out of the wash, in five washed colors with a printed graphic. Buy the 7002HW if you want the heaviest blank: 14 oz, 100% cotton, made in USA, and sold in PFD so you can dye or print it yourself. The Smart Blanks is the easier everyday hoodie; the 7002HW is the more substantial garment and the better base for customization.

  • Choose the Smart Blanks VH500 if you want a ready-to-wear vintage hoodie with a faded wash, a graphic and no drawcords, and you don't plan to dye or print it.
  • Choose the 7002HW if you want a 14 oz, 100% cotton, USA-made blank with a roomy cordless hood and drop shoulders, and you intend to garment-dye, print or private-label it.

Questions and answers

Which is warmer, the VH500 or the 7002HW?
The 7002HW is the safer bet for warmth. It states 14 oz, 460 gsm, 100% cotton fleece. Smart Blanks calls the VH500 heavyweight 3-end fleece but does not publish a weight.
Which one is better for printing or dyeing?
The 7002HW. It ships in PFD as a 100% cotton blank with tearaway tags, so it takes garment dye and screen print well. The VH500 is a finished, pre-washed garment with a print already on it.
Does either hoodie have drawcords?
No. Both use a cordless hood. The VH500 markets this as a clean no-drawcord style, and the 7002HW calls it a cordless roomy hood.
Which fits bigger?
Both are cut oversized. The 7002HW adds relaxed drop shoulders and runs XS to XXL. The VH500 is oversize in a regular size type and stops at XL, so larger shoppers have more room in the 7002HW.
Will the VH500 colors match if I order two?
Not exactly. Smart Blanks uses a special dyeing process and says each piece varies in color, shade and intensity. Two hoodies in the same colorway can differ slightly.
Is the 7002HW worth stepping up to over the VH500?
Yes if you want a heavier, all-cotton, USA-made blank you can dye or print. No if you want a finished vintage hoodie in a chosen color with no extra work.
