Ditch the Hood—Factory Code’s Heavyweight Sweatshirts (14.75oz, 19.17oz, 26.55oz) Are Your New Cold-Weather Hero
Hoodies are great, but let’s talk about the unsung hero of cool-weather style: the heavyweight sweatshirt. No hood, no fuss—just pure, durable comfort that works for every moment. And good news, USA shoppers: Factory Code is officially launching stateside, bringing our fan-favorite heavyweight sweatshirts in 14.75oz, 19.17oz, and 26.55oz max options. If you’re tired of thin, flimsy pullovers that fade or stretch after one wash, this launch is for you.
Why Heavyweight Sweatshirts? Because Thin Just Doesn’t Cut It Anymore
Let’s be honest: A lightweight sweatshirt might feel fine in 60-degree weather, but when autumn chills hit NYC, winter winds sweep Chicago, or even a breezy evening hits LA, you need something that sticks with you. Thin styles leave you reaching for an extra layer 10 minutes later—our heavyweight sweatshirts? They keep you cozy, no add-ons required.
For those new to “oz” (ounces) talk: It’s how we measure fabric thickness. The higher the oz, the sturdier, warmer, and longer-lasting the sweatshirt. Here’s how our three options fit your life:
14.75oz: The “Everyday Essential” Sweatshirt
This is the one you’ll grab every morning. Thick enough to keep you comfortable on a brisk walk to the coffee shop or a day working from home, but light enough to layer under a denim jacket or leather coat when temps drop. No bulk, no sheerness—just a smooth, substantial feel that makes even loungewear look put-together. It’s the sweatshirt your closet didn’t know it needed (until now).
19.17oz: The “Cold-Month Workhorse”
When fall turns to winter, this is your go-to. Think: tailgating in Detroit, running errands in Seattle, or sitting around a backyard fire in Denver. The dense cotton locks in heat without making you feel stuffed—so you stay warm, not weighed down. It’s got that “broken-in but never worn out” vibe from day one, and it only gets softer (without stretching!) after washes.
26.55oz Max: The “Winter Warrior”
For freezing days in Boston, mountain trips in Colorado, or anyone who hates being cold—this is the heavyweight sweatshirt of your dreams. It’s our thickest option: durable enough to handle snow, wind, and even the occasional spill (we’ve all been there). No pilling, no fading, no sagging at the shoulders—just long-lasting quality that will outlast every cheap sweatshirt you’ve ever owned. It’s not just a pullover; it’s a winter staple.
Factory Code Sweatshirts: Built for How Americans Live
We didn’t just make heavyweight sweatshirts—we made them for you. Every Factory Code piece (now available in the USA!) checks all the boxes:
- 100% premium cotton (or soft cotton-blend): No scratchy synthetics, no weird dyes that bleed. Just pure, breathable fabric that feels good against your skin.
- Reinforced stitching: At the cuffs, hem, and neckline—because a sweatshirt should last years, not months. No more frayed edges after a few washes.
- Timeless, versatile design: Classic crewneck, relaxed (but not baggy) fit, and neutral colors (black, heather gray, navy) that match everything. Wear it with jeans, joggers, chinos—even a skirt, if that’s your vibe.
This isn’t “fast fashion”—it’s a piece you’ll keep wearing, season after season.
Who’s This For? Literally Everyone.
Heavyweight sweatshirts aren’t just for lazy days—they’re for life:
- Students: Throw it on for early morning classes in Austin or late-night study sessions.
- Professionals: Dress it up with a blazer for casual Fridays in San Francisco, or keep it cozy for WFH days.
- Outdoor lovers: Hiking in Utah, camping in Oregon, or just walking the dog—this sweatshirt handles it all.
- Parents: Durable enough for chasing kids around the park, stylish enough for a quick trip to the grocery store.
