Custom Pullover Hoodie – Youth — Gildan SF500B

Which Hoodie Am I Ordering?

This product uses the Gildan Softstyle SF500B Youth Midweight Hooded Sweatshirt. It is the youth companion to the Adult SF500, with the same cozy brushed fleece feel, classic fit, jersey-lined hood, front pouch pocket, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and smooth print-friendly face. The youth hood has no drawcords.

Youth sizing is not the same as youth sizing. Use the garment measurements below before ordering. We will not substitute a different hoodie style without contacting you.

Youth Hoodie Size & Fit Guide

Gildan Softstyle SF500B • Youth classic fit • Measurements in inches.

Measure a hoodie that already fits well. Lay it flat without stretching. Measure across the chest, then compare body length and sleeve length.

Width is measured across the garment—not around the body. These are finished garment measurements. Youth growth and preferred fit matter, so compare the measurements rather than choosing only by age.

Size reference: S&S Activewear’s Gildan SF500B specification chart. Sizes offered: XS–XL.

Hoodie Color Guide

Color guide—not an exact fabric match. Screen settings, lighting, fleece texture, and fabric blends can affect how colors appear.

We keep the standard youth hoodie to five versatile colors: Black, White, Navy, Sport Grey, and Red. The SF500B is available in additional shades, but those stay in the custom quote workflow for schools, teams, clubs, families, and events needing a specific color.

Sport Grey uses a different fiber blend than the standard solid colors. Choose your hoodie color in the product options above—this chart is only a visual guide.

How Custom Orders Work

Use the same simple process for every custom LCK apparel product.

1. Pick your size. Choose the size for this item. If you need another size, add that item separately so its details stay clear.
2. Pick your color. Choose the garment color and quantity. Use quantity only when those items have the same size, color, artwork choice, print placement, and personalization.
3. Pick your print placement. Choose where the design will print. One standard front, chest, or back location is included. Choose a front/chest + back option for two locations, and add left or right sleeve printing separately when needed.
4. Choose your Design Service. Select Print-Ready Artwork ($0), Basic Artwork Cleanup ($10), or Custom Design ($25). Design-service fees apply once per new artwork project, not once per garment.
5. Upload artwork and/or references. Put front or chest artwork in the front-artwork upload, back artwork in the back-artwork upload, and use the additional-file area for references, inspiration, sleeve artwork, or supporting files. Clearly identify what each file is for.
6. Tell us your idea. Give us the exact wording, colors, placement, style, and any special instructions. If LCK is creating the design, the more useful detail you provide, the better.
7. Choose personalization and/or upload extra files. For a simple name, number, or short text, use the Personalization section. Enter the exact text and where it belongs. Upload a clearly labeled list when the product form allows it. Large or complicated rosters should use the custom-quote workflow.
8. Choose your Need-By Date. Tell us when you need the order. This helps us review timing and availability; entering a date does not guarantee rush production unless LCK confirms it.
9. Read and agree to the Terms of Service. Review your selections, proof preference, artwork permission, custom-order acknowledgments, and required terms before adding the item to your cart.

Ordering More Than One Item?

Fee example: Five hoodies using the same artwork project with Custom Design = $25 total design fee. Add a completely different design that also needs Custom Design = another $25.

Print Placement & Personalization Pricing

Starting hoodie price: $45. Some sizes or options may cost more. Your selections and cart show the final price. The additions below are charged per hoodie.

Left and right refer to the person wearing the hoodie. A sleeve print is an additional location, selected separately. Select every print location you want. Uploading a back or sleeve file by itself doesn’t add that print location to your order.

“Full Front” and “Full Back” describe the print location, not edge-to-edge or all-over printing. Final print size depends on the artwork and garment. Hood seams, the pouch pocket, and the reduced flat area near the lower front can limit placement compared with a T-shirt or crewneck. If you need an exact print measurement, tell us before ordering.

Example: Two $45 hoodies with Front + Back (+$12 each), using the same artwork project with Custom Design ($25 once), total $139 before tax and shipping. Other selections or size price differences change the total.

How Large Will the Print Be?

The right print size depends on the hoodie and the design. The measurements below give you a starting point. They’re general examples—we’ll confirm any exact size you request.

A wide logo is not forced into a square. If your logo is twice as wide as it is tall, printing it 11 inches wide makes it about 5½ inches tall. We keep its shape instead of stretching it to fill a square.

Shirt size matters. A print can look larger on a Small than on a 3XL hoodie. Garment cut, available flat area, seams, artwork detail, and placement all affect suitable dimensions. Youth and toddler garments generally need smaller prints. A larger shirt does not automatically include a larger transfer.

If you need a specific width, height, oversized print, or matching print dimensions across several sizes, put that request in Tell Us What You Want and ask us to confirm it before ordering. Oversized or unusual placements may need a separate quote. If exact measurements matter, we’ll confirm them in writing along with your proof. A mockup shows the overall look, but you shouldn’t measure the print from the picture.

Reference guidance: Transfer Express design-size and placement guides. We check what works for your hoodie and design.

Which File Goes Where?

No finished design yet? Select Custom Design Needed and describe your idea, exact wording, colors, and placement. Add references if available and fill in any fields marked as required.

For additional items using the same artwork, choose the same artwork option and select the artwork you want to reuse. If the form asks for a required upload on another item, attach the same file again.

What Does “Two Personalized Elements” Mean?

A “personalized element” simply means one separate name, number, or short text entry added to the design. It is not a count of letters or digits.

Words already included in the design everyone is using don’t automatically count as extra personalization. This option is for individual details you add, like each person’s name or number. A paragraph, long list, complex custom layout, or an extra copy in another location is not automatically covered by the one-element price.

Example instruction: “Medium black shirt: JORDAN above 12 on the back. Large navy shirt: TAYLOR above 8 on the back.” Select the relevant print placement as well as personalization. For each shirt, provide exact spelling, capitalization, numbers, and placement.

Personalization is charged per hoodie and is separate from selected print-location charges and any one-time artwork-project service. If you are unsure which option applies, ask before checkout.

Revisions, Changes & Additional Charges

No surprise change fees: If you ask for something beyond what’s included in your order, we’ll tell you what it costs and whether it changes your deadline before we start that extra work. You decide whether to go ahead. Declining an extra doesn’t cancel work already started; the custom-order policy below still applies.

The posted +$12 placement, +$6 sleeve, +$5/+$8 personalization, and $10/$25 design-service charges apply to the matching options. For anything extra, we’ll explain the price and get your okay first. Order notes tell us what you want; they don’t add unpaid extras to the order.

Bulk Pricing: Request a Project Quote

Ordering a batch for your business, team, reunion, school, or event? Ask about bulk pricing before checkout. Producing the same artwork repeatedly can lower the cost per hoodie. Every project is priced around what we are actually making.

Tell us how many shirts you need, the sizes and colors, your preferred shirt brand/style, what goes on each shirt, and the date you need them in hand. Mixed adult/youth garments or a 75-shirt company order are best organized through a quote.

Ask us for your bulk price before placing the order. We’ll confirm it in a written quote. The regular online price applies unless we’ve agreed on a quote or a discount appears at checkout. A basic shirt quote doesn’t include extra print locations, names/numbers, design help, rush fees, tax, or shipping unless those items are listed as included.

Approved quoted projects may require a 50% non-refundable deposit before design, ordering, or production begins, with the remaining balance due before pickup, delivery, shipment, or release. Your quote confirms the payment schedule and included work.
