Thick Hoodies: What 10 oz Fleece Feels Like and Who Should Buy One
A thick hoodie is one made from heavier fleece, and you can check it in ounces. The Graphic Tees Co. heavyweight hoodie is a 10 oz fleece with a fleece-lined hood, $49.99 through November 30, 2026 ($54.99 from December 1). Our classic pullover is a lighter 8 oz fleece at $39.99. Both are printed with original art after you order.
Which thick hoodies does Graphic Tees Co. sell?
Here are six heavyweight hoodies, all the same 10 oz blank. Every design is original art made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed after you order.

“Running Late. Bison Traffic.”
A 1960s station wagon is stopped on a two-lane road while one huge bison stands in the middle, unbothered. It is for every road-trip family that has sat in a bison jam, $49.99.

A grumpy older angler in a bucket hat and red plaid flannel sits in a folding lawn chair at the pond with an empty bucket, while a jogger passes behind him. $49.99.

How thick is a thick hoodie?
Thick starts around 10 oz. Fabric weight is listed in ounces per square yard (oz/yd²), and more ounces means heavier fleece. At Graphic Tees Co., the heavyweight hoodie is 10 oz and the classic pullover is 8 oz.
The heavyweight is a cotton and polyester fleece with a soft fleece-lined hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband and double-stitched seams. It runs up to 3XL in a relaxed fit (most designs start at XS, a few at S).
Is a thick hoodie warmer than a regular one?
Yes, a little, and it holds its shape better. A 10 oz fleece traps more air than an 8 oz one, and the relaxed cut leaves room for a tee or thermal underneath.
It is a layer, not a coat. On wet or very cold days, wear a shell over it.

Are thick hoodies heavy to wear?
You feel the weight on the shoulders, and a thick hoodie takes longer to dry after a wash. It is the one to grab for a cool morning or a campfire, not for a warm car ride.
If you mostly want something to throw on indoors or in mild weather, the 8 oz pullover is the lighter pick.
Thick hoodie or oversized hoodie: which is better?
They solve different problems. Thick is about fabric weight; oversized is about cut. The Graphic Tees Co. oversized hoodie is also a 10 oz fleece, but it is cut roomy on purpose and costs $54.99 on sale.
Pick the heavyweight for a regular-to-relaxed fit, and the oversized if you want the slouch. Our baggy hoodies guide covers sizing.

Is a thick hoodie worth the extra money?
If you wear it on cold days, yes. The heavyweight is $10 more than the pullover through November 30, 2026, and both move up $5 on December 1 ($54.99 and $44.99).
US shipping is free on orders of $45 or more, so either clears it. If the size is wrong, one replacement in a new size is free within 30 days of delivery, and you do not mail the first one back.
How do you keep a thick hoodie soft and the print bright?
Turn it inside out, wash it cold, tumble dry low or hang it, and skip bleach and fabric softener. Never iron over the print.
Fleece holds water, so give it extra drying time.
