The Garment-Dyed Hooded Sweatshirt (CO150) is Comfort Colours' lightweight fleece hoodie, dyed after construction for a lived-in, vintage character with minimal shrinkage straight out of the packaging, a hallmark of the brand.

Made from 6.4–6.5oz 100% ring-spun US cotton with cotton threads throughout, it has a jersey-lined hood with a natural (or white-on-white) flat drawcord, rolled forward shoulders and 1x1 rib cuffs and waistband. Stocked in 7 colours from S to 3XL, with a relaxed, seamless body.

What Sets the CO150 Apart

Genuinely Different Fabric Character

Because it's garment-dyed rather than dyed as yarn or fabric, each piece has natural, slight shade variation and a soft, broken-in feel that's difficult to replicate with conventional dyeing.

Built to Shrink Minimally

The garment-dyeing process is specifically chosen to minimise shrinkage at home, so sizing stays consistent wash after wash.

Considered, Understated Construction

Rolled forward shoulders and a jersey-lined hood are small design choices that add comfort and a more refined silhouette than a basic fleece hoodie.

Responsibly Produced

Made in an OEKO-TEX and FLA certified facility, with US-grown BCI cotton and a proud membership in the US Cotton Trust Protocol.

Ideal For

• Premium retail and lifestyle merchandise
• Vintage-style streetwear
• Event and festival branding
• Custom printing projects wanting a soft, worn-in look
• Sustainable and ethically-conscious collections

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "garment-dyed" mean?
The finished sweatshirt is dyed after it's fully constructed, rather than dyeing the yarn or fabric beforehand, this gives it a softer, more lived-in feel and natural shade variation.

What is the CO150 made from?
100% ring-spun US cotton at 6.4–6.5oz, with cotton threads used throughout construction.

Does the CO150 shrink much?
The garment-dyeing process is specifically designed to minimise shrinkage at home, though some natural cotton shrinkage should still be expected.

Is the CO150 suitable for printing?
Yes, though white ink on garment-dyed cotton needs special consideration due to the base colour underneath.
