This is what the Independent Trading Co. has to say about their base garment.
Verbatim, right from their site.
"The Original Independent Sweatshirt, the IND4000, is the go-to blank sweatshirt for brands all over the world. Why? It's our combination of quality fabric, construction, colors, print-ability, and a consistency in production that has been forged from over 30 years of manufacturing this classic style. We use premium ring-spun cotton 3-end fleece to achieve a smooth and stable fabric surface for printing. This premium heavyweight garment has a generous fit and is completed with a fleece lined hood, heavy gauge round drawcord, nickel eyelets, and 1x1 ribbing at cuffs and waistband."
