About the Jerzees Z12M

Twelve ounces. That is the number that defines the Z12M and separates it from virtually every other wholesale full-zip hoodie on the market. Most wholesale hoodies run between 7.5 and 10 ounces. The Jerzees Z12M Rugged Full-Zip is 12 ounces of 3-end fleece with a 100% cotton face, which puts it in a category of its own for programs that need maximum warmth, durability, and a genuine workwear-grade feel at a wholesale price.

The 3-end fleece construction uses three yarns in each loop rather than the standard two, producing a denser, more pill-resistant fabric that holds up through the kind of heavy use that lighter wholesale hoodies can't withstand. The 100% cotton face delivers the soft, breathable feel of pure cotton against the skin while the polyester backing provides structure and durability. Sustainably sourced USA grown cotton, dyed-to-match tipped and knotted drawcords, an aluminum full-zip closure, and double-needle coverstitching throughout give it a construction quality that matches the weight.

For a pullover hoodie in the same Jerzees Rugged family, check the Jerzees Z12M pullover version for programs that need both silhouettes. For a premium 10-ounce full-zip from another brand, the Lane Seven LS19001 Unisex Heavyweight Pullover Hoodie is the closest retail-quality comparison, though the Z12M outweighs it by 2 ounces. For a standard-weight full-zip at a lower price point, the Gildan 18600 Heavy Blend Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt covers the 8-ounce end of the category.

FAQ

Why would a program need a 12-ounce hoodie?
Outdoor work crews, cold-weather athletic programs, workwear-adjacent applications, and any buyer whose end customer spends extended time in genuinely cold conditions. At 12 ounces the Z12M provides a level of warmth that standard 8 to 9 ounce hoodies cannot match, and the pill-resistant 3-end fleece construction holds up through the kind of repeated heavy use that premium lifestyle hoodies are not built for.

What is 3-end fleece?
Standard fleece uses 2-end yarn construction in each loop. 3-end fleece incorporates a third yarn, producing a denser, heavier, more durable fabric that resists pilling and holds its structure better through heavy use and washing. Combined with the 12-ounce weight, the 3-end construction is what gives the Z12M its workwear-grade durability.
