Hoodies and sweaters are among the most popular items in the oopbuy spreadsheet. They're versatile, stylish, and available across a wide price range. However, quality can vary significantly, making thorough QC review essential before approving shipment.
Key QC Areas for Hoodies
Fabric Quality
Check fabric weight, texture, and consistency. Quality hoodies should feel substantial and even throughout.
Print Quality
Graphic prints should be sharp, clear, and properly aligned. Check for any bleeding, cracking, or peeling.
Stitching
Examine all seams — shoulder seams, side seams, and cuffs. Stitching should be even and tight.
Logo Accuracy
Embroidered or printed logos should match the spreadsheet listing exactly in size, placement, and clarity.
