11 of the Best Hoodies to Print & Embroider.
Right, it’s time for what has become one of our most popular features. That’s right, it’s the 2024 – 2025 update on our article about the best plain hooded tops to print and embroider. Originally only intended as a one-off, we now revise this best blank hoodies piece on a periodic basis. Mainly because the customisable hoodie, as with most clothing, is subject to change. That’s to say, affected by the vagaries of fashion and trend, supply and demand, and manufacturing processes. Below we’ll show you an unbeatable selection of high quality blank hoodies UK available and deserving of serious consideration. All made plain and undecorated, ready to print and embroider.
Where did the hoodie come from?
Just before we go best hoodie hunting, let’s give the garment a bit of historical context. Bear with us, it’s worth a short digression. Tops with hoods first popped up in Medieval Europe. But it was The Thirties before the sweatshirt hoody appeared. Between then and now, the humble hoodie has become a cherished essential. And long gone are the days when a hoodie was viewed with suspicion by some, thought to have rather dubious associations. Now, it’s a mainstream standard, visible everywhere. And that’s one reason why they’re perfect for a spot of top quality screen printing and premium embroidery. The best hoodie is one adorned with your design.
1. Stanley Stella Cruiser 2.0 Hoodie
Now, this is an easy one to like when you want the best quality blank hoodies to print or embroider. The Stanley Stella Cruiser 2.0 (STSU177) is the new version of their iconic unisex pullover hoodie. Like the predecessor, it’s perfect for customisation. Firstly, at time of writing it’s available in a wide colour range. Second, the brand is renowned as a high quality blank hoodies wholesale supplier. Thirdly, this is a medium fit which maximises the market for your customised product. In addition, let’s not forget it’s is made from eco-friendly materials.
2. Native Spirit Unisex Hoodie
Here we have a new brand in our piece on the hottest hooded tops. And it’s one that we think could feature in the list of the best blank hoodies for embroidery for years to come. This Native Spirit eco friendly unisex hooded sweatshirt (NS401) is a good example of their collection. That’s to say, there are lots of attractive qualities. Such as plenty of colours. There’s no label so it’s fully customisable. Plus an excellent weight at 350gsm. And the fabric is sustainable organic cotton and recycled poly. All wrapped up in a fashionable and comfy straight fit.
3. Tiger Cotton Pullover Hoodie
Next in our list of the best blank hoodies we have another plain garment which is a stand-out on several different levels. Naturally, the Tiger Cotton hoodie (code T63101) is a top quality piece of apparel. And it’s unisex so qualifies in terms of the best hoodies for men and women. Plus it’s an absolute star in the sustainability stakes. And that’s because Tiger Cotton is the product of a special environmental initiative to convert farmers to organic and preserve tiger habitats in India. Which is a pretty sensational idea in our opinion.
4. As Colour Supply Hood
Although pictured with a male model, this AS Colour Supply Hood (5101) falls into that always attractive unisex category. Again, here we have a blank clothing supplier with a strong reputation for quality. Given that standing, we’d also class them as one of best affordable hoodie brands. Their Supply Hoodie is available in a very decent size range, XS to 3XL, and is mid-weight at 290g. Plus features the classic raglan sleeve and kangaroo pocket. Above, we’ve shown the navy colourway but it’s a style that comes in lots of other lovely shades too.

5. Ecologie Lusaka regen hoodie
These days, we firmly believe the best blank hoodies for custom branding projects are often crafted from organic cotton. Or at least have that material in the fabric blend. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t open to other ideas. For instance, hoodies made using regenerated cotton like the Lusaka (product code EA040). We like this one a lot. It’s a classic given some modern eco appeal. And there are some really nice stylistic touches such as the angled sleeve cuffs. Overall, it has a understated contemporary feel just crying out for printer’s ink.
6. Stanley Stella Cultivator 2.0 Hoodie
How about a zip up hooded top? And one which is described by the supplier as the ‘iconic unisex zip-thru hoodie sweatshirt’. That’s something you’ll ultimately decide for yourself but we aren’t disagreeing. And the Stanley Stella Cultivator Hoodie 2.0 (STSU179) is the latest upgrade of the style. It certainly falls into the best hoodies for men and women bracket. Beyond looking the business, it’s made of 100% organic cotton. Plus, with XXS to 5XL, there is a super comprehensive size range. Oh, and lots of mouth watering colours.
7. AS Colour Relax Hoodie
Oversized and looser fitting hoodies have seen a resurgence in recent times. Well, to be honest, it’s not just hoodies. Tees and sweatshirts are similar. So, we had to include something to illustrate the fact. And this AS Colour Relax hood (code 4161) fits the bill. As the name suggests, the fitting is relaxed. Beyond that, it’s made from quality cotton blended with 20% recycled poly. Worth noting that there are some lovely shades. Colours like Sand, Butter, Bone and Storm. By the way, we’ve shown the ladies but a men’s Relax is also available.
8. Anthem Women’s Hoodie
So far, we’ve gone with unisex wholesale hoodie designs but we’re not averse to a male or female specific garment. After all, men’s and women’s tops can have distinctive characteristics. And to prove the point we’ve included this rather chic little hooded number. The Anthem Women’s Hoodie (AM003) is soft and thick and fairly crying out for spot of superior screen print or exceptional embroidery. Once again, this is a hooded sweatshirt created from a mix of responsibly sourced materials. With plenty of on-trend colours and a men’s version.
9. Neutral Jersey Hoodie
We like to think our list of genuinely good hoodies is not only accurate but has something for everyone. In light of that fact, we felt compelled to make sure there was a lighter weight option in the mix. And why not? Not everyone wants a super heavyweight hood over their head. The Neutral (Neutral® Certified Responsibility) Jersey Hoodie (O62101) has a definite t-shirt hoodie vibe at a weight of 155 g/m². And while it might be less bulky than some, it has plenty of appealing features. Not least that it’s 100% Fairtrade organic cotton.
10. Bella + Canvas Raw Seam Hoodie
Fancy adding your logo or artwork to something else with a relaxed, casual feel to the design? Well, we have just the item. The Bella + Canvas Raw Seam Hoodie (3742) is made of sumptuously soft sponge fleece. And, dare we say, has a certain retro street style to it. The oversized fitting is an aspect that’s trended over recent months and shows no sign of going away. There’s no doubt, the raw seams may not be for everyone. But it’s a great illustration of the variety of high quality unisex blank hoodies available in the UK nowadays.
11. Stanley Stella Mini Cruiser 2.0 Hoodie
Any list of the best hooded sweatshirts has to include blank hoodies for children. They may not be the first thing that springs to mind when thinking about branding this sort of attire. However, there is high demand for printed and embroidered kids hoodies. And this Stanley Stella Mini Cruiser 2.0 Hoodie Sweatshirt (STSK180) is a fine example of the undecorated item. Sustainably made, high quality and a dream colour palette for rebranding.
