The Custom Apparel Experts Break it Down – Hoodies vs Crew Necks
Hello readers- The Custom Apparel Experts are here and ready to settle and age old custom apparel debate- hoodies vs. crew necks!
While custom hoodies are one of our favorite pieces of apparel, due to their casual nature they don’t always meet the dress code- limiting how often your logo may be seen! Crew Neck sweatshirts offer a more sleek and stylish yet equally comfortable canvas to display your brand with the added benefit of more opportunity to sport your new swag! BUT unlike hoodies,- crew necks leave wearers susceptible to weather conditions and give them less opportunity to hide from that one guy they haven’t seen since high school graduation… Which we all know is important!
When choosing the piece of custom apparel that will display your logo to the public, it is important that you choose which piece will work best for your brand and your mission. Are you designing apparel for an upcoming 5k race? Chances are one of our light weight tee’s or tanks would work best for you! Maybe you’re interested in purchasing a new piece of cold weather apparel for your team but are stuck between hoodies vs. crew necks! Lucky for you, the Custom Apparel Experts are here, and always ready to help, so lets discuss… Hoodies vs Crew Necks. Which is the best choice for your brands next piece of custom apparel? Keep reading, and let Crooked Monkey help you decide!
Custom Hoodies vs Crew Necks. Which is Best for My Brand?
Are You the Office Type?
Are you in charge of ordering the custom apparel for a teach company, marketing firm, or other brand or business residing in an office like setting? Chances are your employees are required to look put together- meaning hoodies are a no no! Crew Necks offer that dress down feeling, while still looking put together and ready for their next business meeting. Forget Casual Friday, every days the perfect day for a cozy sweatshirt when it sports your company logo!
Make Use of the Advantages
Do you own a company full of employees who have to brave the winter chill? People like construction workers and electricians wear extra layers of clothing regularly during the cold months to stay warm on the job. While both crew necks and hoodies are perfect for heat insulation, one is much more beneficial in trapping the heat. The hood of a hoodie offers extra heat and protection from winter conditions, which is helpful to those who spend a majority of their day outdoors. If your team is going to layer up anyways, why not supply them with the best possible protection from the cold? When stuck between hoodies vs crew necks, remember to make use of the advantages! Would your employees benefit from a hood? Take advantage, and go with the hoodie!

Basic Properties of Hoodies vs Crew Necks
- Collar: A sweatshirt can be worn alone or with an additional garment, such as a shirt or T-shirt underneath. The same can be done while wearing a hoodie, but with a hoodie you can not wear anything underneath with the intention of it being visible. This is because the hood comes up more on the neck than a crew neck, ultimately taking away any visibility of undergarments.
- Details: A crew neck sweatshirt is usually very plain. This style displays no buttons, fasteners, or zippers… gaining the crew neck a more simple reputation. Aside from the obvious hood, a Hoodie also features cords that can be used to tighten the hood. Another staple feature of the hoodie is the front pocket, which are never included in the design of a crew neck.
- Material: The fabrics used to create hoodies vs crew necks generally have the same properties. Whether they are made from classic French Terry or other types of knit such as cotton which vary by manufacturer. Ultimately, there is no real elemental distinction between the fabric used to create a hoodie and the fabric used to create a crew neck sweatshirt.
