The AS Colour Supply Hood: A 290gsm Cotton-Faced CVC Fleece Pullover Built for Corporate Casual, Team Wear, and Branded Uniform Programs

At a Glance

The AS Colour Supply Hood is a 290gsm 80% cotton / 20% polyester CVC fleece pullover hoodie designed for businesses, sporting clubs, and organisations that need a premium-feel branded hoodie that holds its shape, resists pilling, and carries embroidery and print decoration cleanly across a full team rollout.

It suits corporate casual uniform programs, staff onboarding kits, team and club merchandise, branded workwear programs, and any organisation that needs a hoodie that presents consistently across a full team — from the smallest to the largest team member — without the pilling, shrinkage, and fit distortion that affects lower-quality fleece alternatives.

With 290gsm cotton-faced CVC fleece, anti-pill construction, raglan sleeves, a lined hood, preshrunk fabric, and 12 colours across XS to 5XL, it solves the challenge of finding a premium-feel hoodie that performs as well after 50 washes as it does on day one — and that carries a logo or team name as cleanly on the last day of the season as the first.

Further Information

Not all fleece hoodies are built to the same standard — and the difference becomes apparent quickly in a team or corporate uniform program.

Standard polyester-face fleece hoodies feel synthetic against the skin, pill after a few washes, and lose their shape through repeated laundering. In a team or corporate program where multiple people are wearing the same garment, pilling and shape distortion create an inconsistent presentation that undermines the purpose of a uniform.

Hoodies that aren’t preshrunk distort after the first wash, pulling the body length and sleeve measurements away from the size ordered and creating fit issues that affect both comfort and presentation.

Hoodies with set-in sleeves create a seam across the shoulder that interferes with embroidery placement and produces a less clean decoration result than a raglan sleeve construction.

The AS Colour Supply Hood addresses each of these problems directly.

The 290gsm CVC fleece is a cotton-faced construction — meaning the face of the fabric (the side that sits against the skin and faces outward) is cotton, not polyester. This is the detail that gives AS Colour hoodies their characteristic soft, premium feel compared to standard polyester-face fleece alternatives of equivalent or heavier weight. The cotton facing also provides a more stable, natural-fibre surface for embroidery and print decoration than a synthetic face.

The anti-pill construction prevents the fibre tangling and surface degradation that causes pilling in standard fleece — maintaining the hoodie’s appearance through repeated washing across a full season of regular wear.

The raglan sleeve construction eliminates the shoulder seam, providing a cleaner embroidery surface across the chest and shoulder area and a more relaxed, comfortable fit through the shoulder and upper arm than a set-in sleeve construction.

The preshrunk fabric maintains the hoodie’s body length and sleeve measurements after washing, ensuring the size ordered is the size worn throughout the garment’s working life.

The lined hood provides structure and warmth without the bulk of an unlined hood, and the tonal drawcord maintains a clean, consistent aesthetic across all 12 colour options.

Feature to Outcome: What This Hoodie Delivers for Your Team

Colour Guide for Corporate and Team Programs

The 12 colour options in the AS Colour Supply Hood cover the full range of corporate, team, and club colour programs — from neutral corporate tones to vibrant club and event colours.

Coal, Black, Navy, and Forest are the most widely used colours in corporate casual and workwear programs, coordinating with the broadest range of existing polo, shirt, and pant programs.

White and Gray provide clean, neutral options for brands with light or minimal colour palettes, and are popular choices for print-decorated hoodies where the decoration artwork is the primary visual element.

Royal, Red, Gold, and Orange are strong choices for sporting clubs, school programs, and organisations with vibrant brand colour palettes where the hoodie colour is a primary brand identifier.

Pink and Ecru provide distinctive options for brands, clubs, and programs where a less conventional colour is part of the brand identity or seasonal collection.

B2B Friction-Free Buying Guide

Embroidery and decoration on the Supply Hood: The raglan sleeve construction and cotton-faced CVC fleece provide a clean, stable surface for embroidery decoration across the chest, left chest, and sleeve. The cotton facing accepts embroidery needles more cleanly than a synthetic face, reducing the risk of needle damage to the fabric surface during the embroidery process. Contact Uniforms.com.au to discuss embroidery options, artwork requirements, and lead times for your order.

Corporate casual and staff uniform programs: The Supply Hood’s regular fit, clean silhouette, and 12 colour options make it a practical choice for corporate casual uniform programs where staff need a branded hoodie that presents consistently across a mixed-gender team. The XS to 5XL size run covers the full range of team members without requiring separate products for extended sizes.

Sporting club and team merchandise: The Supply Hood’s vibrant colour options (Royal, Red, Gold, Orange) and clean decoration surface make it a strong choice for sporting club merchandise programs where the hoodie colour is a primary brand identifier. The anti-pill construction and preshrunk fabric maintain the hoodie’s appearance through the repeated washing that active club members require.

Sizing and fit for mixed teams: The Supply Hood is a regular fit — not oversized or slim fit — making it a practical choice for mixed-gender teams where a single fit needs to work across a range of body types. For teams where members prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up one size from the standard size guide.

Bulk and repeat ordering: The AS Colour Supply Hood is a stocked, repeatable style. Businesses and clubs can reorder with confidence that fabric weight, colour, and construction specifications remain consistent across supply runs.

How This Hoodie Works in the Real World

A technology company with 55 staff across offices in Sydney and Melbourne is building a corporate casual uniform program for the first time.

The people and culture manager needs a branded hoodie that staff will actually wear — not a cheap promotional fleece that pills after three washes and ends up in the back of a wardrobe.

The team selects the AS Colour Supply Hood in Coal, with the company’s logo embroidered on the left chest, ordering across XS to 3XL to cover the full team across both offices.

The 290gsm cotton-faced CVC fleece provides the premium feel that staff expect from a garment they’re being asked to wear as part of a corporate program — soft against the skin, substantial in weight, and visually clean in a way that a standard polyester-face fleece cannot match.

The anti-pill construction maintains the hoodie’s appearance through the weekly washing that regular wear requires, ensuring the Coal colour and the embroidered logo present consistently across the full team from the first week of the program to the last.

The raglan sleeve construction provides a clean embroidery surface across the left chest, and the cotton facing accepts the embroidery needles cleanly without the surface damage that synthetic-face fleece can produce during the embroidery process.

The preshrunk fabric maintains the body length and sleeve measurements after washing, so the size ordered at the start of the program is the size worn at the end of it — no fit complaints from staff after the first wash.

Six months later, the company onboards 12 new staff members and places a repeat order for the same Coal Supply Hood with the same embroidery specs — and the new hoodies match the existing team’s garments exactly in colour, weight, and construction.

Common Programs This Hoodie Supports

Corporate casual and staff uniform programs. Businesses building corporate casual uniform programs need a hoodie that staff will wear willingly — not a cheap promotional fleece that undermines the program’s intent. The Supply Hood’s 290gsm cotton-faced CVC fleece, clean silhouette, and 12 colour options provide a premium-feel branded hoodie that staff are proud to wear as part of a corporate program.

Sporting club and association merchandise. Sporting clubs building merchandise programs need a hoodie that members will wear regularly — at training, at games, and in daily life. The Supply Hood’s vibrant colour options, anti-pill construction, and clean decoration surface make it a strong merchandise item that maintains its appearance through the repeated washing that active club members require.

Staff onboarding and welcome kits. Businesses building staff onboarding kits need branded items that new team members will use daily. A premium-feel hoodie in the company’s colour with an embroidered logo is one of the most effective onboarding items available — worn regularly, visible to colleagues and clients, and a tangible expression of the company’s investment in its people.

School and university programs. Schools and universities building student or staff uniform programs need a hoodie that covers a wide size range, holds up through regular washing, and carries school or faculty branding cleanly. The Supply Hood’s XS to 5XL size run, anti-pill construction, and raglan sleeve decoration surface make it a practical choice for educational institution programs.

Event and conference merchandise. Event organisers building merchandise programs need a hoodie that attendees will wear after the event — generating ongoing brand impressions beyond the event itself. The Supply Hood’s premium feel and 12 colour options provide a merchandise item with genuine perceived value that attendees are likely to wear regularly.

B2B Intelligence FAQ

What is CVC fleece and why does the cotton facing matter? CVC stands for Chief Value Cotton — a blended fabric where cotton is the primary fibre by weight. In the Supply Hood, the CVC fleece has a cotton facing, meaning the face of the fabric (the side that sits against the skin and faces outward) is cotton rather than polyester. This is the detail that gives the Supply Hood its characteristic soft, premium feel compared to standard polyester-face fleece alternatives — and provides a more stable, natural-fibre surface for embroidery and print decoration.

What does anti-pill mean? Pilling is the formation of small fibre balls on the surface of a fabric through friction and repeated washing. Anti-pill construction uses a tighter fibre structure and finishing process that prevents this fibre tangling, maintaining the fabric’s smooth surface appearance through repeated washing across a full season of regular wear.

Why do raglan sleeves matter for embroidery? A raglan sleeve runs from the collar to the cuff without a seam at the shoulder, eliminating the shoulder seam that can interfere with embroidery placement and produce an uneven decoration result. The raglan construction provides a clean, flat surface across the chest and shoulder area for embroidery decoration.

What colours is the Supply Hood available in? The Supply Hood is available in 12 colours: Coal, Black, White, Gray, Pink, Orange, Ecru, Gold, Red, Royal, Navy, and Forest.
