Independent Trading Co. SS4500 Unisex Midweight Hooded Sweatshirt – Wholesale Bulk Hoodie for Screen Printing, Embroidery, Team Uniforms, and Promotional Apparel Programs
The Independent Trading Co. SS4500 is a midweight hooded sweatshirt built for screen printers, embroidery shops, promotional apparel buyers, and retail brands that need a versatile, decoration-ready blank hoodie with an extensive color palette and inclusive sizing. Constructed from 8.5 oz 80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester blend fleece with 100% cotton face yarn at 20 singles, the SS4500 delivers exceptional softness, durability, and print compatibility across all major decoration methods. With a jersey-lined hood, classic fit, and extended sizing from XS through 5XL, this wholesale midweight hoodie is one of the most popular styles in the Independent Trading Co. lineup for team uniforms, school spirit wear, corporate programs, and retail resale. Made in a WRAP-certified facility for socially conscious manufacturing, the SS4500 pairs naturally with the SS4600QZ quarter-zip pullover and the SS3000 midweight crewneck to build a complete coordinated 8.5oz wholesale fleece program.
With over 44 color options spanning solids, heathers, camo patterns, safety colors, and neons, the SS4500 provides the color depth and variety needed to support diverse customer bases, seasonal merchandise programs, and multi-team uniform contracts without requiring multiple vendor relationships. The classic fit and jersey-lined hood deliver a traditional, comfortable silhouette that appeals to a broad range of buyers — from schools and athletic programs to corporate uniform accounts and promotional apparel distributors sourcing bulk wholesale hoodies for embroidery and screen printing. Joe's USA ships from a 10-warehouse nationwide network, ensuring fast delivery and reliable stock availability for rush orders and ongoing reorder programs alongside the IND4000 heavyweight hoodie for tiered wholesale fleece programs.

Fabric and Construction Overview
The SS4500 is built on 8.5 oz 80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester blend fleece with 100% cotton face yarn at 20 singles — a construction that delivers the natural softness and breathability of cotton against the skin while the polyester interior provides shape retention, durability, and resistance to shrinkage across repeated washing and decoration processes. The ring-spun yarn construction produces a smoother, more consistent fleece surface than standard open-end cotton, creating an ideal print and embroidery canvas for bulk wholesale hoodie decoration programs requiring consistent quality across large production runs. The jersey-lined hood provides a soft, comfortable feel against the face and neck — a key differentiator from fleece-lined hoods that makes the SS4500 a preferred choice for everyday wear and retail resale applications.
Split stitch double-needle sewing on all seams provides superior durability and professional finishing that withstands repeated washing and heavy wear in team uniform, workwear, and promotional apparel applications. Twill neck tape reinforces the shoulder seams and prevents stretching, while 1x1 ribbing at the cuffs and waistband ensures a secure, comfortable fit that maintains its shape through extended use. The metal eyelets provide durable hardware that resists corrosion, and the pouch pocket adds functional hand-warming storage that buyers expect in a classic pullover hoodie. For programs needing a heavier-weight companion style, the IND4000 10oz heavyweight hoodie pairs naturally with the SS4500 for tiered wholesale fleece programs serving diverse customer needs and seasonal requirements.
The tear-away label removes cleanly without residue, enabling screen printers, embroidery shops, and retail brands to apply custom neck labels, woven labels, or inside collar prints for private label programs and retail resale. The WRAP certification confirms that the SS4500 is manufactured in a facility meeting rigorous standards for workplace safety, fair labor practices, and environmental responsibility — a key differentiator for institutional buyers and corporate programs sourcing wholesale Independent Trading Co. fleece apparel with ethical supply chain requirements. Decorators building full-line programs can complement the SS4500 with the IND330BLV Boulevard boxy-fit hoodie for clients seeking a contemporary streetwear silhouette alongside the classic SS4500 fit.
Decoration Compatibility and Print Performance
The SS4500's 100% cotton face yarn provides an excellent surface for all major decoration methods including screen printing, embroidery, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, direct-to-film (DTF) transfers, and heat transfer vinyl (HTV). Screen printers working with plastisol or water-based inks will find the smooth cotton face delivers excellent ink adhesion, vibrant color reproduction, and superior wash durability across the full 44-color palette — making the SS4500 one of the most reliable wholesale blank hoodies for bulk screen printing programs in the Independent Trading Co. lineup. The consistent fleece surface minimizes fiber migration and ensures clean, sharp print details even with fine line work and multi-color designs.
For embroidery applications, the 8.5 oz midweight fleece provides a stable foundation that supports dense stitch counts and complex logo designs without puckering or distortion. The classic fit and roomy construction accommodate left chest, full back, and sleeve embroidery placements commonly used in corporate apparel, team uniforms, and promotional wear programs. Embroidery shops sourcing wholesale quarter-zip pullovers for corporate embroidery programs alongside the SS4500 will find consistent 8.5oz fleece quality and decoration performance across both styles, simplifying production workflow and reducing setup time for multi-garment accounts.
DTG and DTF printing perform exceptionally well on the SS4500 due to the 100% cotton face, which provides optimal ink absorption and color vibrancy for full-color designs and photographic images. Heat transfer vinyl adheres securely and maintains excellent wash durability when applied with proper settings. The tear-away label simplifies the rebranding process for decorators adding custom neck labels or inside collar prints. For schools and team programs needing a premium spirit wear upgrade, pair the SS4500 with the IND5000P Legend 13.5oz cross-grain heavyweight hoodie to offer clients a tiered fleece program that covers every price point and quality level from midweight everyday wear to premium heavyweight spirit wear.
