Hoodie or sweatshirt – which is the better choice for your team?
In short
Hoodies with a hood offer more protection from wind and rain and are often seen as more modern. Sweatshirts without a hood are more practical when working with machinery or tools, as no hood can fall into the face. The choice also depends on the area of use and the look you want.
When is the hoodie the better choice?
Hoodies are popular in the trades, for outdoor work and in creative professions. The hood protects against light rain or wind when a jacket is not yet needed. For landscape gardeners, caretakers or warehouse workers, the hoodie is a practical mid-layer. In a team context, it looks somewhat more casual and younger than a classic sweatshirt.
When is the sweatshirt the better choice?
Sweatshirts without a hood are safer when working with machinery, in hospitality or in food handling, because no hood can get caught in moving parts. They look more formal and are easier to wear under a jacket. In hospitality or indoor service, the sweatshirt is the neater variant. It is also easier to care for – no drawstrings that tangle or hang in the collar.
Combining both for the team
Many teams order hoodies and sweatshirts together – hoodies for outdoor work or the workshop, sweatshirts for client appointments or the office. Both garments can be calculated in one enquiry, and the total quantity counts towards the tiered price level. The back design is included with printing in both cases.
Frequently asked questions
Can I combine hoodie and sweatshirt in one order?
Yes, that is no problem. At macherkleidung.de the total quantity of all items in an enquiry counts towards the tiered price level. So you can enquire about 15 hoodies and 10 sweatshirts together and are already in the 25-piece tier.
Which garment is better suited to printing?
Both are well suited to chest and back printing. On the hoodie, the print area on the back has to be somewhat shorter because the hood extends into the upper print area from above. This is taken into account when planning the design.
Are hoodies also available without a zip?
The macherkleidung.de range includes pullover hoodies (without a zip), both as a standard and as a premium model. Zip hoodies belong to the extended catalogue and can be calculated on request.
