Heavyweight Full-Zip Hooded Jacket — Custom OEM

The Heavyweight Full-Zip Hooded Jacket is a customisable brushed-back fleece jacket manufactured by Giborn Apparel for outerwear-adjacent programmes — brands that need something warmer than a pullover but lighter and cheaper than a shell. The body is cut fuller than a standard zip hood, with enough room to layer a tee and a mid-layer underneath, and the zip tape is reinforced so the front edge stays straight after repeated wear. It anchors our men’s jackets category and is the block most often specified for autumn and winter drops in Northern Europe.

Customization Options

• Standard or two-way zip, with metal or moulded plastic teeth
• Zip tape colour matched or deliberately contrasted to the body
• Custom zip pullers, including moulded and metal-stamped with your mark
• Fleece from 320 to 450 GSM, brushed, unbrushed or sherpa-lined
• Hood lined in jersey, contrast fleece or left unlined
• Side seam, welt or zip-secured pockets
• Chin guard, internal storm placket and hem drawcord as options

Why Produce With Giborn

A zip that fails is a returned garment, so hardware is checked as its own inspection point rather than folded into a general finish check. Zips are cycle-tested on sample garments before the trim is approved for bulk. The gate structure is described on our manufacturing page.

MOQ, Sampling & Lead Time

Flexible MOQ · Sampling 5–15 days · Bulk 30–60 days. Zip styles carry a trim lead time on top of the garment lead time, so custom pullers or branded tape need to be confirmed early. We flag that at quotation rather than mid-production — see how our OEM projects are scheduled.

Send your spec and we will quote the garment and the trims separately so you can see where the money sits. For weight guidance, read our note on GSM for hoodies and sweatshirts.
