Hoodies and sweaters are year-round staples in the MuleBuy ecosystem. In 2026, oversized silhouettes, vintage washes, and heavyweight fleece are the dominant trends. This category is forgiving in terms of QC because small flaws are harder to spot on a relaxed garment, but fabric weight, print placement, and drawstring quality still matter.

Interior Fleece

Cotton-heavy hoodies can shrink significantly. Size up if you plan to machine dry.

Large chest prints are prone to cracking over time. Ask the agent about print method if longevity matters.
Hoodies/Sweaters FAQs
Do hoodies from the spreadsheet shrink after washing?
Cotton-dominant blends can shrink 3-7%. The material breakdown in the spreadsheet helps predict shrinkage. Air-dry when possible.
Are oversized hoodies actually oversized?
Not always. "Oversized" can mean an extra 4-8cm in length. Compare the measurements column with a hoodie you already own.
How heavy are hoodies for shipping calculations?
A single heavyweight hoodie can weigh 700-900g. Two hoodies often push a package into a higher shipping tier.
