A zip hoodie is judged on the zip first. If the front panels sit unevenly, the slider snags, or the zip tape puckers after washing, the garment reads as cheap as the fleece is. At Loom Lines, zips are fitted inside our own facility in Sialkot, Punjab, on the same floor as cutting and sewing, so zip alignment and function are checked against your sample before bulk production starts.
We supply UK streetwear brands, startup labels, gyms and merch companies with zip up hoodies from a 50 piece minimum order per style and colour, with a 12 to 18 day lead time after sample approval.
Metal, nylon and reverse coil zips all behave differently. Metal zips suit heavyweight fleece and give a premium feel, nylon is lighter and suits French terry, and reverse coil gives a clean, concealed look on streetwear styles. We recommend a zip type against your chosen GSM at sample stage, because a heavy zip on lightweight fabric drags the front panels down.
Both front panels have to be cut and sewn symmetrically, or the hem and neckline sit unevenly once zipped. Pattern symmetry is checked on the sample before bulk cutting begins.
Custom zip pulls and double sliders can carry your branding, which is a detail buyers often notice before they see a logo. Pull style and finish are confirmed on your sample.
Because zip fitting happens in the same facility as cutting, sewing and decoration, we can check zip function after printing or embroidery has been applied, rather than assuming a decorated panel will still sit flat against the zip.
Every order passes through fabric and trim inspection, in-line inspection during zip fitting, and a final pre-shipment inspection where zips are run on finished garments, which is how we hold a 98% on-time delivery rate across more than 2.4 million garments shipped to 35-plus countries.
If zip colour, pull style or panel alignment needs adjusting after your sample, the change is made on our own floor the same week, not relayed through an agent to a separate workshop.
We produce zip up hoodies in cotton fleece, cotton-poly fleece and French terry, from 280 GSM through to 500 GSM, so zip weight and fabric structure can be matched.
Full zip hoodies are available in oversized, boxy, drop shoulder, regular, slim and cropped fits, with split kangaroo pockets, rib cuffs, rib hems and lined hoods as options. For a cropped silhouette, see our crop hoodies range, or start from blank hoodies if you want to confirm fit before committing to decoration.
Custom drawcord tips, zip pulls and other hardware can be specified through our custom trims and accessories service.
Placement on a zip hoodie has to work around the zip line, so a centred chest logo is moved to one side of the opening, and a back graphic is unaffected. We apply embroidery for left-chest logos, screen printing for bold back and sleeve graphics, and DTF printing for detailed artwork, all in the same facility.
