Jerzees 995M – Unisex NuBlend® Quarter-Zip Cadet Collar Sweatshirt – Black Heather

The Jerzees 995M is the Unisex NuBlend Quarter-Zip Cadet Collar Sweatshirt, an 8 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester fleece built on Jerzees’s NuBlend pill-resistant formula with a high stitch density face that prints smoother than a basic fleece. The NuBlend construction uses sustainably sourced USA-grown cotton and a tight-knit face that holds ink and thread without the surface pilling that undercuts a finished product over multiple washes. A decorator picks this style when a corporate, school or club order calls for a cadet-collar quarter-zip with a dependable print substrate at a wholesale price well below the premium garment-dyed options. The body runs a unisex classic fit in S-3XL with a concealed 7-inch aluminum zipper, a cadet collar, set-in sleeves, a seamless body, 1×1 rib cuffs and waistband with spandex for recovery, and double-needle coverstitching on the armholes and waistband. The standard solids run a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend; Oxford runs 51% polyester/49% cotton.

The quarter-zip placket and the 50% polyester content set the decoration plan. DTF is the most practical single method across the full 995M colour card: the film bonds cleanly to the NuBlend surface at standard transfer temperatures, stays soft on the cadet-collar body, and works on both the solids and the heather shades without changing the recipe, placed clear of the centre zip placket. Screen printing suits the high-stitch-density face well: lay a white underbase on the coloured and dark grounds, run a low cure to block the 50% polyester from migrating dye into the ink deposit, favour bold and mid-detail art, and place a full-front design clear of the zip placket or above and below the zipper since the centre seam will break a continuous image; a left-chest placement opposite the zip and a full-back are the cleanest options on a quarter-zip body. Embroidery works on the dense 8 oz fleece: a left-chest logo opposite the zip holds cleanly with a cut-away backing, and the tight NuBlend face reduces pilling around the stitch field. Vinyl and HTV bond with a firm press for names, numbers and club lettering. DTG is not a practical fit on the 995M: the 50% polyester mutes the ink deposit, the thick fleece body resists the platen, and the zip placket blocks a flat chest print; route those jobs to DTF or screen. Discharge will not strip the 50% polyester to a clean result. Sublimation does not apply, since the cotton-majority ground will not hold the disperse dye uniformly; route to a 100% polyester substrate for dye-sub.

The reorder note for this style: the 995M NuBlend face holds its stitch density and print surface consistently across production runs, which keeps screen and DTF recipes stable on repeat orders. Oxford is the one colour with a reversed blend at 51% polyester, so confirm the colour before mixing it into a run that uses the same screen or DTF recipe as the solids. The high-stitch-density NuBlend face is the key differentiator against a basic 50/50 fleece: decoration sits more cleanly, pills less after washing, and holds up through repeated wash cycles in a decorated finished product.
