What does a hoodie cost to make?

About $20.00 for a Gildan 18500 Heavy Blend Hoodie printed and shipped to a US buyer, the cheapest supplier price in our catalog. A hoodie uses about twice the fabric of a t-shirt and weighs more to ship, so it costs about twice as much to make, and its price has to follow.

Your cost per item is the blank, the print and the supplier's shipping to the buyer. Add a second print location, packaging inserts or gift wrap if you offer them, and use that total in every price you work out.

How much do Etsy fees take from a hoodie sale?

At $28.99 plus $4.99 shipping, Etsy takes $3.68, 10.8% of what the buyer pays: the $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee and 3% + $0.25 payment processing, on price plus shipping.

When a sale comes from an Etsy ad on another site, Offsite Ads add 15% of the order (capped at $100). Every line is in the Etsy fee calculator and in Etsy fees for print on demand.

Is it cheaper to sell hoodies on Amazon, TikTok Shop or Shopify?

Shopify charges the least per order, before its monthly plan, and Amazon's referral fee here is 5% / 10% / 17%. For a 30% margin this hoodie needs $32.99 on Amazon, $26.99 on TikTok Shop and $25.99 on Shopify.

Lower fees do not bring sales by themselves: Etsy and Amazon send you buyers who are already searching, a Shopify store needs its own traffic. See Etsy vs Amazon fees and Etsy vs Shopify fees.

How can you charge more than the market for a hoodie?

Sell to a niche, not to everyone. A design made for a clearly named buyer (a job, a hobby, a family role, a town) competes on the design, so it does not have to be the cheapest listing.

• Personalize it: a name, a date or a photo lets you charge for the work and makes price comparison harder.
• Offer a second item: a small discount on two items spreads the payment processing fee over a bigger order.
• Price for the season: gift seasons bring buyers who care more about the design and delivery date than about a dollar.
• Show the product well: clear mockups and real photos support a higher price; check images in the price check listings to see what sells.

When do hoodies sell best?

From early autumn to the end of the holidays. Buyers look for warm clothes and gifts, so list new hoodie designs before the weather turns and before the gift-shopping rush.

Outside the cold months, a hoodie design can still sell as a crewneck sweatshirt or a t-shirt: see how much to charge for a sweatshirt and for a t-shirt.
