A large share of Jerzees Nublend searches are for the hoodie, the crewneck, the quarter zip, or the pullover, not the sweatpants. If that is what brought you here, the direct answer is that Bear Grips Pro Shops does not print those specific Jerzees styles today. This guide gives the honest reason why, and exactly what to order instead to build a matching set with the Jerzees sweatpants that are in the catalog.

The Straight Answer on Jerzees Hoodies and Crewnecks

Jerzees Nublend covers a wide family of styles at the wholesale and retail level, including pullover hoodies, zip hoodies, crewneck sweatshirts, quarter zips, and joggers. Bear Grips Pro Shops carries exactly two products under the Jerzees name: the Pocket Sweatpants and the Open Bottom Sweatpants. No Jerzees hoodie, crewneck, quarter zip, or jogger is in this catalog. If a search for "jerzees nublend hoodie" or "jerzees unisex nublend crewneck" brought you here expecting that exact piece, it is not stocked.

Why This Gap Exists

The 63-product catalog pulls specific pieces from specific brands rather than every style a brand makes. Jerzees earned a spot for its sweatpants, which are a consistently ordered category for gyms and teams. The hoodie and crewneck side of the mid-weight fleece market is instead covered through Gildan, Champion, and the in-house Bear Grips line, which is why those brands show up more heavily in outerwear categories.

Building a Full Matching Set

Pairing any of the pieces above with the Jerzees Nublend sweatpants covers the same top-and-bottom look a full Jerzees Nublend hoodie-and-sweatpants set would provide, just sourced across two brands instead of one. Since all of these products live in the same 63-piece catalog and print from the same shop, a vendor can list a hoodie and a pair of sweatpants side by side without any extra setup step. For pricing on the sweatpants side of that set, see the Jerzees sweatpants pricing guide.

For Quarter Zips and Joggers Specifically

Buyers searching for a Jerzees quarter zip or jogger have the same options above to work with. A performance quarter-zip pullover from Sport-Tek is in the broader catalog for a quarter-zip need, and a jogger-style fit closer to the Jerzees Pocket Sweatpants covers the jogger search intent, even though it is not a tapered jogger cut. See the open bottom versus jogger comparison for the fit difference in detail.

Does Bear Grips Pro Shops print any Jerzees hoodie style?

No. The catalog carries two Jerzees products, both sweatpants. No Jerzees hoodie, crewneck, quarter zip, or jogger is stocked.

What is the closest alternative to a Jerzees hoodie?

The Bear Grips Comfort Soft Hoodie ($36.88 VIP), the Gildan Classic Zip-Up Hoodie ($41.88), and the Champion Performance Hoodie ($45.88) are the closest matches in mid-weight fleece feel.
