Blank sweats are the bedrock of the streetwear game. Regardless of whether they feature a hood or not, they are universally worn garments and, for aspiring designers, they are some of the lowest barrier-to-entry products out there. See, to start a blank hoodie brand, it’s not like you have to literally make each hoodie yourself the way you would when it comes to, say, a pair of jeans. Thankfully for aspiring young design gods, there are companies out there that specialize in making blank hoodies that can be purchased wholesale, printed on, and sold to customers.

Now, this isn’t some kind of secret — every company from Supreme to a kid who just signed up for Big Cartel goes to companies who are known for their T-shirts and blank hoodies, even if it's just a jumping-off point (the big boys usually end up creating custom products using the company’s access to fabric and factories).

And though we all know about Champion and Gildan, we want to explore what other companies out there are turning out blank hoodies and sweaters good enough to wear sans adornments. These blanks don't need any eye-catching prints to be a mainstay in your wardrobe.
