Independent Trading Co. fashion fleece, decorated right here in Kennesaw
Independent Trading Co. earned its following the hard way: by making fleece that streetwear shops and brand builders actually want to put their name on. The drape sits right, the seams hold, and the blank feels closer to a boutique hoodie than a giveaway. At Panda Prints in Kennesaw, GA, we treat those blanks like the premium garment they are, decorating them two ways: custom embroidery and DTF printing. We can pull the genuine Independent line for you through S&S Activewear, so you skip the wholesale-account hunt and still get the exact style, weight, and fit you pictured.
The Independent range spans midweight to heavyweight fashion fleece. The SS4500 is the classic 8.5 oz midweight pullover hoodie, soft enough to wear three seasons out of the year. The IND4000 climbs to a heavier 10 oz pullover with a fuller hand built for cold-weather drops and a more elevated feel. Both carry embroidery and DTF cleanly, and we will steer you toward the right blank for the look you want before a single stitch or sheet of film goes down.
Picking the right method for your Independent blank
On fashion fleece, the decoration choice changes the whole personality of the piece, so it is worth getting right. Embroidery leans into the premium feel Independent is known for: a stitched left-chest mark or sleeve hit reads as substantial and built to last, which is why brand owners and crews around Cobb County keep coming back to it. We also run 3D puff embroidery for a raised, sculptural logo, along with monogramming and individual name-drops when each piece needs its own identity.
DTF printing is where you go when the artwork has heavy color, soft gradients, photo-real detail, or a bold full-front graphic that thread simply cannot reproduce. It bonds a vivid, stretchy print right onto the fleece and nails the fine lines embroidery would lose. DTF also shines for single pieces and tiny runs, since it carries no setup fee at all. Not sure which way to lean? Send the art over and we will tell you straight which method flatters the Independent style you chose.

What it costs and how to get started
An embroidered Independent hoodie or other embroidered apparel begins at $20 per piece, while DTF-printed hoodies begin at $26 per piece. Because we hold no minimums anywhere in the shop, a lone IND4000 gets the same attention as a fifty-piece merch run. Embroidery includes a one-time digitizing step, starting at $40, that turns your logo into a stitch file; come back with the identical design and that charge drops off. DTF skips setup fees entirely.
Once your proof is approved, most Independent orders finish within 3 to 5 business days. On a deadline? We offer rush production, and since every job is different, the rush fee is quoted per order rather than set at a flat rate, so just tell us the date you need. We collect the full amount when you place the order, with nothing held as a deposit, and you can settle up by cash, card, or ACH.
We run Panda Prints out of a home-based shop in Kennesaw, and you are welcome to stop by during business hours; a heads-up call or text first lets us have your proof staged and ready. Finished orders can be picked up here, shipped to you, or set up for delivery. Every job is backed by the terms spelled out on our refund and return policy page. Send over your design and the Independent style you have in mind, and we will put a quote together for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom Independent Trading Co. hoodie cost?
Embroidered apparel starts at $20 per piece and DTF-printed pieces start at $10, full color with no per-color charge and no setup fee. There are no minimums, so one Independent hoodie is a real order we’ll take. Embroidery includes a one-time digitizing step from $40 to build your stitch file, and we waive that on exact reorders.
Should I get my Independent Trading Co. hoodie embroidered or DTF printed?
Embroidery is the move for a clean, durable logo on the chest or sleeve, and it plays well with the heavier fleece. DTF is better for colorful, detailed, or large full-front artwork since it prints full color with no per-color charge. Send me your design and I’ll tell you which one looks best on the blank you pick.
Can I bring my own Independent Trading Co. blanks, or do you supply them?
Either way works. We can pull Independent Trading Co. fleece for you through S&S Activewear, including the SS4500 midweight and IND4000 heavyweight pullovers, or you can drop off your own garments and we’ll decorate them. If you’re supplying your own, just bring an extra in case anything goes sideways in production.
Which Independent Trading Co. styles do you recommend?
The SS4500 is an 8.5 oz midweight pullover that wears comfortably most of the year, and it’s the one most people go with. The IND4000 is a heavier 10 oz pullover with a fuller hand for colder weather. Both take embroidery and DTF well, and I’ll help you match the blank to your design before we start.
How long does an Independent Trading Co. order take?
Most orders finish in 3 to 5 business days after you approve your proof. Rush is case-by-case and we can often turn it next business day when the queue allows, charged at a premium since every job is different. Tell me your deadline up front and I’ll let you know what’s doable.
Do you have a minimum order for Independent Trading Co. fleece?
No minimum on any service, so one hoodie is welcome. Payment is in full when you place the order, no deposit, and we take cash, card, or ACH. Nothing gets made until you approve a digital mockup, so you see exactly what you’re getting first.
