500 GSM Double Zip Hoodie: Premium Weight, Zip-Through Construction | UK Supplier

The Heavyweight Zip Hoodie the Market Has Been Missing

Full zip hoodies are everywhere in wholesale catalogues, but almost all of them are built on the same thin, unremarkable 280-320 GSM fabric. At Vend Fabrics, our 500 GSM double zip hoodie takes the same market-leading weight behind our best-selling pullover hoodie and puts it into a proper zip-through construction, with a second zip detail that sets it apart from a standard single-zip blank.

What Makes a 500 GSM Zip Hoodie Different?

GSM (grams per square metre) is the clearest measure of fabric weight and quality, and most wholesale zip hoodies stop at 280-350 GSM. Our 500 GSM double zip hoodie sits in a completely different tier:

• Substantial weight and structure you notice the moment you unzip it
• Superior drape that holds its shape through the zip line, not just the body
• Premium hand feel that reads as considered rather than budget
• Genuine durability, including at the zip and stitch points that thinner fabric puts under the most strain
• A professional finish for anything printed, embroidered or badged onto it

This isn't a lighter hoodie with a zip added on. It's a heavyweight garment engineered around the zip-through cut, which is a harder thing to get right than a pullover.

Quality Over Pricing: Built for Brands That Refuse to Compromise

Hoodies and sweatshirts are now rivalling t-shirts as the most requested category in print-on-demand and streetwear, which means the zip hoodie in a drop needs to hold its own next to the rest of a premium range, not quietly underperform it. Our 500 GSM double zip hoodie is built for:

• Streetwear brands who want their zip-through piece to match the weight of their 500 GSM pullover hoodie
• Premium clothing lines where the zip and pull tabs need to feel as considered as the fabric
• Merch creators producing artist merch that needs to survive tour life, not just a single wear
• Print studios and embroiderers who need a substantial base for chest and back placements either side of the zip

Superior Fit: Engineered Around the Zip Line

A double zip changes how a hoodie needs to be patterned. Ours is cut to:

• Sit cleanly at the shoulder and collar without the zip pulling the front out of shape
• Keep a flattering, modern silhouette whether worn open or fully zipped
• Maintain proportion across the size range, including at the hem and cuff
• Look intentional rather than like a pullover with a zip retrofitted

A Weight and Construction You Won't Find Elsewhere

Most suppliers treat a zip hoodie as an afterthought to their pullover range, dropping the GSM to keep the zip lightweight and manageable. We've kept the full 500 GSM weight and built the construction to match, which matters differently depending on what you do with it:

For Printers and Embroiderers

The heavier fabric either side of the zip prevents show-through and puckering on chest logos and back prints, whether you're running screen printing, DTG, or embroidery.

For Clothing Brands

Customers feel the weight difference the moment they pick it up, before they've even noticed the branding. That's the foundation a premium price point needs.

For Streetwear Labels and Merch Creators

A 500 GSM double zip hoodie has genuine substance for tour merch tables and premium drops alike, standing up to repeat wear far better than a standard 300 GSM zip-through.

No Minimum Orders from a UK Garment Supplier

Despite the premium weight, there's no minimum order requirement. Order one to sample the fit and fabric, or a full production run, from the same UK warehouse stock. That flexibility matters for testing a new colourway, running a limited drop, or sampling before committing to bulk.

Next Day Delivery Across the UK

Stock is held in the UK with next day dispatch, so a zip hoodie sample or a reorder doesn't cost you weeks of lead time waiting on an overseas shipment.

Built for Premium Customisation, Including Garment Dyeing

The 500 GSM double zip hoodie takes screen print, DTG and embroidery cleanly, and the substantial cotton base also takes garment dyeing well if you want it matched to your own Pantone shade, the same custom-colour service behind pieces like our garment-dyed long sleeve.
