What a factory needs for a hoodie

Hood

Kangaroo pocket
Pocket width at top and bottom, height, position from the hem and how the edges are finished.
Rib

Points of measure in this template

Common mistakes
- Only giving the sleeve length, not the cuff rib height, so sleeves come out too long.
- No drawcord length, so it hangs to the waist on some sizes.
- Forgetting that heavy fleece shrinks: ask for measurements after washing.
Questions

- Around 280–320 GSM for a light hoodie, 350–400 GSM for a heavyweight streetwear hoodie.
- Does the template include the hood?
- Yes: hood height and width, a drawcord and eyelets are already in the measurements and bill of materials.
