Hoodies are typically the highest-margin category in a custom apparel shop, which makes the lineup a business stocks worth getting right. A Printify-connected storefront can access hoodie blanks across its print provider network at prices that vary by provider, with shipping calculated at checkout. Bear Grips Pro Shops carries four hoodie and crewneck tiers directly in a fixed catalog, so a business can plan a full lineup without pricing out multiple providers first.
The four-tier hoodie and crewneck lineup
| Product | Brand | VIP base | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perfect Soft Crewneck Sweatshirt | Bear Grips | $34.88 | Entry crewneck |
| Comfort Soft Hoodie | Bear Grips | $36.88 | Standard pullover |
| Classic Zip-Up Hoodie | Gildan | $41.88 | Value zip-up |

| Unisex Champion Performance Hoodie | Champion | $45.88 | Premium pullover |
Which hoodie to launch with first
The Comfort Soft Hoodie at $36.88 VIP base is the default starting point for most new shops: mid-weight, everyday wear, priced to leave healthy margin without a large retail jump from a tee. A second tier (Champion Performance Hoodie at $45.88) is usually added once the standard hoodie proves it sells, giving repeat buyers a premium option without diluting the entry price.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Zip-up versus pullover: which sells better
Pullover hoodies generally outsell zip-up styles in creator and team merch shops, since the front is a cleaner print canvas for a chest logo or wordmark. Zip-up hoodies still have a place for buyers who specifically want a layering piece they can wear open, and the Gildan Classic Zip-Up at $41.88 VIP base fills that need at a value price point.
How a Printify-connected hoodie order compares
A hoodie sourced through a Printify-connected storefront runs through whichever print provider stocks that blank, with base pricing that varies by provider and shipping typically calculated and passed to the buyer at checkout. A seller comparing options should total the blank price plus shipping for each provider before setting a retail price, versus the flat, shipping-included pricing on a fixed catalog.
Pricing a hoodie lineup for margin
A common structure across Bear Grips Pro Shops vendors: price the standard Comfort Soft Hoodie $18-28 above VIP base, and price the Champion Performance Hoodie $25-40 above its VIP base to reflect the brand premium. Since the base price already includes free shipping, the full retail price is what the buyer sees and pays, with no surprise shipping line at checkout.
