Hoodies have specific QC points to focus on:
- 1Logo/patch placement — Measure distance from collar, center chest, or sleeve. Compare against reference photos.

- 4Hood construction — Check that the hood is symmetrical, drawstrings are even, and the hood lining is correct.
- 5Kangaroo pocket — Check pocket placement, stitching, and that the pocket opening is correctly sized.
- 6Cuffs and hem — Ribbing should be tight and even. Check that cuffs and hem are the correct width.
- 7Material weight — While you can't feel it from photos, look for consistent texture and appropriate drape.
- 8Tags and labels — Check that all tags are present, correctly positioned, and accurately printed.

Styling Your Hoodie Haul
Get the most out of your hoodie finds:
- Layer with a tee underneath for a classic streetwear look — let the tee hem show slightly below the hoodie.
- Pair with matching sweatpants for a coordinated set look — many sellers offer matching bottoms.
- Wear under a jacket for a layered look — the hoodie hood over a bomber or coach jacket is a classic combination.
- Size up for an oversized fit — many streetwear hoodies look better slightly oversized.
- Care instructions: wash inside out on cold, air dry to preserve print and embroidery quality.
- Store folded, not hung — hanging heavy hoodies can stretch the shoulders over time.
