Question 1

Next Level 9303 hoodie vs. Bella+Canvas 3719C hoodie. Which one is better?

Accepted Answer

The Next Level 9303 is a very good alternative for the popular 3719C sponge fleece hoodie from Bella+Canvas, as both styles come in the same price segment with a cotton-polyester blend fabric. The 9303 Santa Cruz hoodie features a 7.4 oz. 80/20 cotton-polyester blend while the 3719C standard colors is 8 oz. 52/48 Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton-polyester blend. The latter is softer as it has airlume combed and ring spun cotton in the fabric with a 32 singles yarn count. All heather colors and DTG colors of the 3719C have more cotton content than the standard colors. The 9303 features top-quality cotton giving it similar levels of softness, and has a 100% cotton face for customizing. Both styles deliver excellent results in DTF and DTG.

Question 2

Is Next Level 9303 Santa Cruz hoodie a good option for embroidery and custom printing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Though the hoodie works well for embroidery, it’s mostly preferred blank or for heat transfers and DTF by our customers.

Question 3

Will the Next Level 9303 hoodie shrink?

Accepted Answer

The fabric composition of the 9303 hoodie includes 80% cotton and it has a 100% cotton face. Cotton is prone to shrinkage. But the construction quality of Next Level is known to minimize it. Only a very few of our customers have reported signs of shrinkage in this style. To minimize shrinkage, we recommend checking the care label for appropriate washing and drying instructions.

Question 6

What is a good budget-friendly alternative to the Next Level 9303 Santa Cruz hoodie?

Accepted Answer

We recommend the Gildan SF500 hooded sweatshirt. Though it is 8.4 oz. compared to the 7.4 oz. 9303 hoodie from Next Level, the SF500 is made of an 80/20 ringspun cotton-polyester blend, also featuring a 100% cotton face. It has more color options, and comes at a slightly lower per-unit price for standard colors compared to the Next Level 9303.

Question 7

The Next Level 9303 is a hooded sweatshirt style. It also comes in a crewneck sweatshirt variant, 9001N.

Question 9

Does the Next Level 9303 beach hoodie come with matching drawcords?

Accepted Answer

No. The 9303 features natural-colored drawcords. If you prefer matching drawcords on the same type of hoodie, we recommend checking out the Next Level 9304 Laguna Sueded Hoodie. It’s slightly heavier with a 60/40 cotton-polyester fleece fabric, but with a high 30 singles yarn count for more softness. The 9304 has matching color drawcords.

Question 10

Is the Next Level Santa Cruz hoodie expensive?

Accepted Answer

No. We wouldn’t put it in a premium category of hoodies though it is made of premium quality materials and boasts premium construction. The 9303 is a beach fleece hoodie style from Next Level that can command over $20 per piece. But in YouApparel, you get this style among dozens of others from various brands at the lowest competitive per-unit pricing and bulk discounts. The 9303 Next Level hoodie is currently priced at around $15.15 per piece in YouApparel, which may go down during seasonal sales.
