Ribbing and cuffs
Ribbed Cuffs
Elasticated knit cuffs that grip the wrist.
What defines it
Ribbed cuffs use a stretchy knit rib at the wrist so the sleeve stays put, keeps warmth in and holds its shape over time.

Ribbed Hem
A knit waistband that holds the sweat in place.
What defines it
A ribbed hem is the stretchy knit band at the bottom of a sweat that grips the waist, stops it riding up and keeps the shape.
Who it suits
It suits a snug, classic sweat finish.
Raw or Straight Hem
An unribbed hem for a looser drape.
What defines it
A raw or straight hem finishes without ribbing so the sweat hangs looser and longer, common on oversized and modern cuts.
Who it suits
It suits relaxed and streetwear styles.
Cords and trims
Drawcords & Tips
The hood cords and their finished ends.
What defines it
Drawcords run through the hood to cinch it, finished with metal, plastic or knotted tips that stop fraying and add a quality touch.
Who it suits
It suits adjustable hoods and a premium detail.
Embroidered Logo
A stitched brand mark instead of a print.
What defines it
An embroidered logo is stitched into the fabric rather than printed, giving a durable, textured brand mark that resists washing.
Who it suits
It suits a subtle, premium branded finish.
Frequently asked questions
What is a kangaroo pocket?
A kangaroo pocket is the single large front pouch on a pullover hoodie, stitched across the belly and open at both sides so you can warm your hands or stash small items. Zip hoodies use two split pockets instead, one either side of the zip, since a single pouch cannot cross the opening.
Why do hoodies have ribbed cuffs and hems?
Ribbing is a stretchy knit that grips the wrist and waist. It keeps the sleeves and body in place, stops warmth escaping and helps the sweat hold its shape after washing. Some modern and oversized styles skip ribbing for a looser, longer drape, but classic sweats rely on it for both fit and durability.
Is an embroidered logo better than a print?
Embroidery is stitched into the fabric, so it is more durable and textured than a print and tends to survive washing better without cracking or fading. A print can show finer detail and colour and sits flat, which some designs need. Neither is strictly better; embroidery usually reads as the more premium finish on a plain sweat.
