Custom Snow Wash Hoodie Manufacturer

G1 works well when the goal is a premium basic that happens to have texture rather than an obvious wash treatment — it reads as quality fabric more than a visible finish, which makes it an easy pair with a chest logo or embroidery that shouldn't compete with the garment. G2 is the grade most buyers actually mean when they say "snow wash hoodie" without further specification — clearly visible, evenly toned, the default choice for a standalone wash-program piece. G3 pushes further into visible texture change and works best as a slightly more directional piece within a collection, though it still reads considerably quieter than any acid wash grade, including G1.

Compared to acid wash, the gap between grades is narrower here — even G3 snow wash doesn't approach the drama of acid wash G2, let alone G3. That's a feature of the technique, not a limitation: snow wash is built around evenness and restraint, and a buyer looking for high contrast is better served picking up the acid wash program instead of pushing snow wash to its heaviest setting and expecting an acid-wash result.

Pullover and full-zip are both standard, with kangaroo pocket or no pocket, ribbed or raw hem, and a choice of drawcord hardware — flat or round cord, metal-tipped or plain. None of these change the MOQ. Neck labels, care labels and hang tags are specified separately and attached after the garment is washed and dried, so they don't interact with the wash process itself.

Screen print, puff print and embroidery can all be added on top of any grade, sequenced after the wash and dry stage the same way it works across every wash program — placement is confirmed on the finished, stabilized fabric rather than fabric that's still going to shift in the wash drum.

50 pieces per style, per colorway, is the baseline, and that applies per grade too — G1, G2 and G3 are effectively different finished fabrics on the same base garment. Running all three grades in one style is a 150-piece minimum across them, not 50 total. Unit price moves mainly with wash grade — G3's longer, more intensive wash cycle costs more than G1's lighter one — and with any added decoration. Base fabric cost is more consistent across grades here than it is for acid wash, since all three grades run on the same 350gsm terry rather than switching fabric weight by intensity, which keeps pricing more predictable across the range.

A quote broken down by grade comes back at the feasibility stage, so it's clear upfront which choice is driving cost before a sample is even produced.

A reorder is where the process gets noticeably faster. Once a grade and colorway combination has an approved sample on file, feasibility and sampling are skipped entirely for that combination — the buyer confirms quantity, pays the deposit, and production starts. That's true across every wash program, but it matters slightly more here, since matching an evenly distributed frost consistently is exactly the kind of thing that benefits from a recipe the factory has already run and proven, rather than starting from a fresh wash test each time.
