About the Jerzees C12M
The Jerzees C12M Rugged Crewneck is the crewneck companion to the Z12M full-zip, and it carries the same defining characteristic: 12 ounces of 3-end fleece with a 100% cotton face. In a market where most wholesale crewneck sweatshirts run between 7.5 and 9 ounces, the C12M is in a different weight class entirely. It is a genuinely heavy garment built for programs where warmth, durability, and long-term performance under demanding conditions are the priority.
The 3-end fleece construction produces a denser, more pill-resistant fabric than standard 2-end alternatives, and the 100% cotton face delivers the breathable softness of pure cotton against the skin regardless of the polyester content in the backing. Sustainably sourced USA grown cotton and double-needle coverstitching throughout give it a construction quality that holds up through heavy use and repeated washing. For outdoor work crews, cold-weather team programs, and any application where a standard crewneck simply does not provide enough warmth, the C12M is the answer.
For the matching 12-ounce full-zip in the same Jerzees Rugged construction, the Jerzees Z12M Rugged Unisex Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt pairs naturally for programs that need both styles. For a crewneck with a more retail-quality feel at a lighter weight, the District DT1106 Perfect Weight Fleece Crew uses 8.5-ounce 80/20 ring-spun construction. For the standard Jerzees NuBlend crewneck at a lower price point, the Jerzees 562M Adult NuBlend Fleece Crewneck Sweatshirt covers the budget end of the Jerzees fleece lineup.
FAQ
How does the C12M compare to a standard 8-ounce crewneck?
The C12M is 50% heavier than a standard 8-ounce crewneck. That translates directly into more warmth, more durability, and a substantially more substantial feel on the end customer. For programs in genuinely cold environments or with customers who specifically want a heavy, durable sweatshirt, the C12M delivers what a standard wholesale crewneck cannot.
Is the C12M good for screen printing?
Yes. The high-density 3-end fleece surface takes screen print ink cleanly, and the heavier fabric weight means less ink bleed and sharper print edges than lighter fleece alternatives. Embroidery works well at left-chest placement with the dense fleece providing a stable backing for stitching.
What sizes are available?
Small through 3XL.
