Fabric & Construction Overview

The IND5000P is constructed with 13.5 oz./yd² ring-spun cotton/polyester fleece, delivering a substantial hand feel and long-lasting durability that holds up to repeated wear, washing, and decoration processes. The 70/30 blend features 100% cotton face yarns on solid colors, providing a soft, natural surface ideal for screen printing, direct-to-film (DTF), and direct-to-garment (DTG) applications. The ring-spun construction ensures a smoother, more consistent print surface compared to open-end yarns, reducing pilling and maintaining color vibrancy over time.

Cross-grain construction is a defining feature of the Legend series. By sewing body and hood panels cross-grain, Independent Trading Co. significantly reduces vertical shrinkage and length shortening after washing, ensuring consistent sizing across production runs and minimizing fit complaints in uniform and team programs. This construction method also enhances structural integrity, preventing distortion and maintaining garment shape even after heavy use and multiple wash cycles.

The double fleece lined hood adds warmth and structure, while the heavy duty 100% cotton shoestring drawcord with antique silver tips provides functional adjustability and a premium aesthetic. Double ribbing side panels offer stretch and mobility, improving comfort and fit for active wearers. Reverse coverstitch sewing on all seams delivers a clean, professional finish and reinforces high-stress areas, extending garment life and reducing seam failure in demanding applications.

The 520gm 100% cotton 1x1 ribbing at cuffs and waistband provides superior elasticity and recovery, maintaining shape and preventing sagging or stretching over time. The tear away woven label allows for easy removal, enabling clean branding and custom relabeling for private label programs and retail resale applications.

Decoration Compatibility & Print Performance

The IND5000P is engineered for professional decoration across screen printing, embroidery, DTF, and DTG applications. The 100% cotton face yarns on solid colors provide an ideal surface for water-based and plastisol inks, delivering sharp detail, vibrant color saturation, and excellent ink adhesion. The heavyweight fleece construction supports multi-color screen printing and large-format designs without show-through or fabric distortion, making it a reliable choice for complex graphics, team logos, and event branding.

For embroidery applications, the substantial fabric weight and tight fleece construction provide a stable foundation that minimizes puckering and thread pull, even with high stitch count designs and dense fills. The hood, chest, and sleeve areas accommodate standard embroidery placements, while the cross-grain construction ensures consistent hoop tension and reduces fabric shift during stitching. The tear away label allows for clean neck embroidery and custom branding without label interference.

DTF and DTG compatibility is enhanced by the smooth, cotton-rich face yarns, which promote even ink absorption and reduce color bleeding. The heavyweight fleece minimizes dye migration and maintains print clarity across repeated wash cycles, ensuring long-term graphic integrity for retail and resale applications. The reverse coverstitch seams and cross-grain construction prevent fabric distortion during heat press applications, reducing the risk of print cracking or peeling.

Decoration shops value the IND5000P for its consistency across production runs, reliable sizing, and minimal shrinkage, which streamline workflow and reduce rework. The garment's durability and premium finish support high-volume orders, custom programs, and repeat business, making it a dependable choice for screen printers, embroiderers, and decoration professionals serving schools, teams, corporate clients, and retail brands.
