About this hoodie

Description

The RK Threads Super Heavyweight Kid's Drawing Hoodie (Men's) takes our heaviest, most premium hoodie, a serious 500 GSM 100% cotton French Terry, and turns your child's actual drawing into machine embroidery on it. Their masterpiece, stitched onto the hoodie Dad will never want to take off.

Upload a photo of the drawing in the customiser. We'll trace and digitise it, then machine-embroider the line work onto the hoodie. The first embroidery location is included; extra spots are available at checkout for an additional cost.

Each hoodie is machine-embroidered to order at our Melbourne studio on one of our 13 industrial embroidery machines. Production takes around 2 weeks before shipping Australia-wide.

Fabric

500 GSM, 100% cotton French Terry. Dense, structured, naturally absorbent. Lined drawcord hood, kangaroo pocket, ribbed cuffs and hem, relaxed cut.

Care

Cold machine wash inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and ironing the embroidered area.

The embroidery

Machine embroidered in our Melbourne studio. We set the drawing up for the machines, which means turning it into a stitch file the machine can follow.

Bold lines and strong colours stitch best. Very fine details can get simplified so they stitch cleanly. The design tool shows the biggest size each spot can take.

Sizing

The size guide next to the sizes has the measurements. They're taken flat on the garment in centimetres, so lay a piece you like flat and compare.

Care

Wash cold and inside out. Skip the dryer if you can, and don't iron straight over the stitching.

Shipping and turnaround

Custom pieces are ready to post two weeks after you order (10 business days). Rush is five business days for $25 more, and you add it in the design tool.

Shipping is free in Australia over $90 and free internationally over $150.

Returns

Our refund policy has the details. If something's not right, message us.

    Questions people ask

    What's included in the price?

    The garment, the first embroidery spot and setting up your first design for the machines. Extra designs and extra spots are add-ons, and the design tool shows the total before you add it to your cart.

    How long does it take?

    Two weeks (10 business days) from your order to when we post it. The date near the top of this page is when we would post an order placed today.

    Can I get it sooner?

    Yes. Rush costs $25 and we make it in five business days. You add it in the design tool. Postage takes the same time either way.

    How much is shipping?

    Free in Australia over $90, and free internationally over $150.

    Is there a minimum order?

    No. One piece is fine. If you need 10 or more, our wholesale site gives you an instant quote, no account needed.

    Can I send a photo of the drawing?

    Yes. A phone photo works. Lay the drawing flat in good light, get all of it in the shot and upload it in the design tool.

    What size should I get?

    Tap "Don't know what size to get?" under the sizes. Pick women or men, add your height and weight, and it suggests a size. The size guide next to it has the measurements in centimetres.

    Can I see it before I buy?

    The design tool shows a preview of your design on the garment before you add it to your cart. It's a guide, so the stitched piece can look a little different.

    Can I ask you something first?

    Yes. Message us any time.
