Football Fever: What Differentiates Each Next Level Apparel Fleece Collection
While the football season might be coming to an end, we’re still thinking about all of our favorite game-day snacks – and most importantly, the soft and cozy sweatshirts we wear while watching the big game from the couch. Before you put away your fan gear after the big championship game, let’s dive into the details about Next Level Apparel’s (/73867) Beach Fleece collection – filled with all-star styles that are super-soft and feel great when worn year-round, even if your sport of choice is sofa surfing.
Let’s begin with our starting lineup. There are three different fabrications that make up Next Level Apparel’s Beach Fleece collection: Laguna, Santa Cruz and Malibu. All are equally comfy, cozy and soft, as well as being perfect for screen printing and heat transfer decoration. However, each fabrication has its own pros and cons. Let’s dive into the performance stats to see how each one compares and when each makes a winning choice.
Laguna
This fleece line is constructed with a midweight 5.3-oz french terry fleece with an ultra-soft fabric finish made from 60% combed ring-spun cotton and 40% polyester. There are five styles within the Laguna collection, including sweatshirts and hoodies in a wide variety of on-trend color options. There’s even a trendy cropped hoodie for women.
Santa Cruz
These fleece favorites are made with a 7.4-oz fleece 80/20 cotton/polyester blend and each offers a premium printable 100% cotton face. This line also features a brushed fleece backing for extra coziness when worn. There are currently four styles in the Santa Cruz collection, ranging from pullover hoodies to full-zip hoodies, and even a one-of-a-kind “hybrid” sweatshirt with kangaroo pockets. Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting styles coming soon as well, as Next Level will be releasing two new Santa Cruz styles for Fall 2022.
Malibu
This line features fleece items made from a 7.4-oz. midweight fleece with a super soft 60/40 cotton/polyester blend. It includes a wide range of styles, sizes, colors and cuts, so it’s sure to have your client’s ideal fleece promo. For those who haven’t seen Next Level’s new catalog cover yet, get ready because the supplier will be introducing two new Malibu styles for Fall 2022. Trust us: You’ll want to get your orders in ASAP for these.
