CUSTOM ACID WASH HOODIES MANUFACTURER

Custom Acid Wash Hoodies Manufacturing

Star Faith International manufactures acid wash hoodies for streetwear labels that want a vintage, mottled finish achieved through genuine garment dyeing rather than printed-on distressing. Because our wet-process facility sits inside the same factory as cutting and sewing, every hoodie is dyed, washed, and finished in a single controlled production line.

Acid washing works by tumbling finished garments with a bleaching or oxidising agent in large industrial drums, which strips colour unevenly from the surface of the fabric to create the characteristic mottled, cloud-like pattern. Because the effect depends on fabric movement inside the drum, no two hoodies come out identically marked, which is part of the appeal for vintage-inspired drops.

Why Brands Choose Our Acid Wash Hoodies

• Genuine garment-dye process — the mottled effect comes from real drum washing, not a printed distressed pattern.
• Consistent base colour control — we calibrate wash time and agent concentration so batches land within an approved colour range.
• Heavyweight fleece construction — 300-400 GSM brushed fleece holds structure through the wash process without excessive shrinkage.
• Low minimum order — 50 pieces per design and colourway, workable for seasonal capsule drops.
• Additional decoration after wash — embroidery, DTG, or puff print can be applied post-wash so graphics sit on the finished, faded base.

Fabric, Fit, and Customization Options

Acid wash hoodies are built on 300-400 GSM brushed-back fleece in 80/20 or 100% cotton, pre-shrunk before dyeing to control the finished garment measurements. We offer regular and oversized fits, with drawcord, kangaroo pocket, and rib-knit cuff options standard across the block.

Because every batch is dyed to order, we can produce a range of acid-wash intensities from subtle to heavy-mottled, plus tie-dye variations using the same drum process. Embroidered patches, DTG graphics, and woven neck labels can all be added after the wash stage.

From Artwork to Shipment

After your base colourway and wash intensity are confirmed on a lab-dip sample, we cut and sew the blank garments, then process them through the acid wash drums in a small test batch for your approval. Once the wash finish is signed off, the full run is dyed, any post-wash decoration is applied, and orders ship within 12-16 working days to any of the 35+ countries we export to.
