Custom Joggers and Sweatpants for Men: What to Stock and What They Cost
Quick Answer- Joggers and sweatpants for men span midweight performance and heavier fleece options.
- Base prices range from $40.88 to $48.88 VIP for the men's lineup.
- Open-bottom sweatpants and cuffed joggers serve different fits and use cases.
- These pieces carry some of the highest per-unit profit in the catalog.
Joggers and sweatpants are one of the highest-margin categories in a men's apparel line, since the retail ceiling is higher than a tee while the fabric and printing cost do not scale at the same rate. Here is the working breakdown of what is in the catalog and how each option fits a men's lineup.
Jogger and Sweatpant Options
| Piece | Brand | VIP base |
|---|
| Midweight performance joggers | Independent Trading Co. | $40.88 |
| Pocket sweatpants | Jerzees | $40.88 |
| Open bottom sweatpants | Jerzees | $40.88 |
| Premium fleece joggers | Cotton Heritage | $48.88 |
Cuffed Joggers vs Open Bottom Sweatpants
- Cuffed joggers. Tapered leg, elastic ankle cuff. The more modern, athleisure-leaning fit.
- Open bottom sweatpants. Straight leg, no cuff. The classic gym and warmup fit, often preferred for layering over shoes.
- Pocket sweatpants. Open bottom with functional side pockets, a common request for anyone carrying keys or a phone.

Why Fleece Weight Matters
The midweight performance jogger works across three seasons and layers well. The premium fleece jogger is heavier, built more for cold-weather comfort than performance training, and commands a higher retail price accordingly ($48.88 base versus $40.88).
Print Placement on Joggers and Sweatpants
The most common placement is a small logo or wordmark on the upper thigh or hip, mirroring how big-box athletic brands place their marks. A second option is a leg-side vertical text down the outer seam. Both placements avoid the higher-wear areas (knees, seat) where prints crack faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price difference between joggers and sweatpants?
Most styles share the same $40.88 VIP base. The premium fleece jogger runs higher at $48.88 due to the heavier fabric weight.
Do joggers or sweatpants sell for a higher profit?
Both carry similar margin potential. At a $55-$60 retail price, profit runs $11-$19 per pair depending on which base price applies.
Can I print on the leg without it cracking after washing?
Yes, when placed away from high-flex areas like the knee and seat. Hip and outer-seam placements hold up well through normal washing.
Is there a minimum order for joggers?
No. Single-piece printing applies the same as every other product in the catalog.
