If you're searching for affordable tees and bulk hoodies that still hold up in real-world use, Jerzees apparel is one of the first brands worth considering. At Bulkthreads.com, we carry Jerzees because it occupies a practical middle ground in the wholesale blanks market — genuinely affordable pricing without cutting corners on the fabric technologies that make garments actually wearable. Schools, nonprofits, event organizers, and decorators working on tighter budgets consistently reach for Jerzees.
One of the more consistently ordered Jerzees tees is the 29M, a 5.6 oz. 50/50 cotton-poly blend with moisture-wicking DRI-POWER technology. The poly content keeps it light and quick-drying; the cotton keeps it comfortable. It's among the more affordable wholesale blank tees available from a name-brand supplier, and it comes in a wide range of colors across our traditional and extended color listings. There's also a 29B youth version and a 29L long-sleeve for buyers that need to cover multiple seasons in a single order.
Where Jerzees stands out for bulk buyers is its NuBlend® fleece lineup — one of the stronger values in bulk hoodies at this price tier. The 996 is a consistently ordered blank: 8 oz. of pill-resistant fleece, a roomy kangaroo pocket, and a fit that works across a wide range of body types. The NuBlend fabric is specifically engineered to resist pilling, which matters when decorated blanks need to look sharp after repeated washing. For a zip option, the 993 Full-Zip Hoodie is a reliable pick, and the 4997 Super Sweats Hoodie steps up to a heavier, more substantial feel for buyers who want more weight in their fleece. Youth sizing is covered too — the 996Y Youth NuBlend Hoodie and 562B Youth Fleece Crew bring the same NuBlend construction down to kids' sizing.
Wondering how Jerzees stacks up against other value-tier wholesale blanks? Compared to Gildan, Jerzees tends to be slightly softer out of the box, and the DRI-POWER and NuBlend technologies give it a practical edge for active or outdoor use. Compared to Hanes, it's in the same price neighborhood but leans more toward performance-blend fabrics rather than pure cotton. And compared to Port & Company, Jerzees is often the more budget-friendly choice while still offering comparable durability for everyday use. All four brands have their place — reach out and we're happy to help you find the right fit for your next bulk order.
All styles ship with automatic volume discounts applied at checkout, typically arrive in 1–3 business days, and come with free returns on every order.
Jerzees is known for delivering reliable, decoration-friendly blanks at some of the more competitive price points in the wholesale market. Two fabric technologies set it apart from generic value-tier alternatives: DRI-POWER, a moisture-wicking 50/50 cotton-poly construction used in the tee line, and NuBlend, a pill-resistant fleece used across the hoodie and sweatshirt lineup. Both technologies add practical value without pushing the price out of the budget tier.
The 29M is a 5.6 oz. 50/50 cotton-poly blend tee with DRI-POWER moisture-wicking technology. It's one of the more consistently ordered budget tees in wholesale because it balances a low price per unit with a fabric construction that resists shrinking better than straight cotton and holds up through active use. It's available in youth (29B) and long-sleeve (29L) versions, making it practical for orders that need to cover multiple formats from a single style.
NuBlend is Jerzees' proprietary fleece construction, engineered specifically to resist pilling through repeated washing. For decorated blanks — particularly screen-printed hoodies that will be washed frequently — pilling around the print area is a common issue with lower-quality fleece. NuBlend's pill-resistant construction helps the garment hold its appearance over time, which is one reason decorators who order in volume tend to reach for the Jerzees 996 and 993 over unbranded fleece alternatives.
Both brands occupy the value tier and are solid choices for bulk decoration runs. The Gildan G185 is one of the more widely ordered fleece blanks in the industry and tends to have broader color availability. Jerzees' NuBlend fleece is generally considered slightly softer out of the box and has the pill-resistance advantage for orders where longevity matters. The right choice usually comes down to color needs, price sensitivity, and whether the pill-resistant construction is worth the occasional small price difference between the two.
Yes. Automatic volume discounts are applied at checkout across the Jerzees catalog — no codes required. The per-unit price decreases as order size grows, all styles typically arrive in 1–3 business days, and returns are free on every order.
