Ketchikan’s fall season brings a wave of creative energy that shows up not just in the changing colors, but in what people are wearing. Across town, local teams, businesses, and community groups are embracing hoodie season with custom designs that make their brand stand out. This year, bold graphics, minimalist logo placements, and full-color gradients are redefining what it means to bundle up in style. Custom hoodies and crewnecks have become the go-to gear for comfort, community pride, and a polished local look that fits right in with Southeast Alaska’s vibe.
1. The Comeback of Classic Crewnecks
While hoodies will always have their place, the crewneck sweatshirt is making a serious comeback. Once considered the “simpler cousin” of the hoodie, crewnecks have become a clean, versatile choice for those who prefer a modern, polished look.
For 2025, expect:
- Bold front logos centered high across the chest
- Muted earth tones like moss green, sand, and slate gray
- Soft fleece blends that balance structure with comfort
Crewnecks pair perfectly with uniforms, event gear, or employee appreciation gifts. They layer easily under jackets and look professional enough for casual workdays, especially when screen printed with a crisp logo or subtle branding on the sleeve.
2. Oversized and Relaxed Fits
Streetwear influence continues to dominate apparel trends nationwide, and Ketchikan is no exception. The oversized hoodie look with drop shoulders, roomy cuts, and thick cuffs offers a laid-back, gender-neutral style that works for everyone.
Our customers are loving:
- Relaxed unisex fits for company swag and team apparel
- Midweight fleece that’s perfect for Southeast Alaska’s mild but damp fall
- Layer-ready styles that still look great after dozens of washes
We work with high-quality apparel brands like Port and Company, Bella + Canvas, and Gildan’s Premium Anvil to ensure every print looks sharp and lasts. Whether you’re outfitting your staff or creating a fundraiser design, we’ll help you choose the best garment weight and fit for your project.
3. Textured & Tonal Designs
2025 is the year of texture. From puff ink and raised prints to tone-on-tone designs, people are looking for apparel that feels as good as it looks.
Popular print techniques for fall:
- Puff Ink Printing – Creates a 3D raised texture that pops off the fabric
- Soft-Touch Plastisol – Smooth and flexible, ideal for vintage-style prints
- Tonal Inks – Slightly darker or lighter than the hoodie color for a subtle, luxury effect
At Pacific Printing, we offer these print styles to bring your logo to life with texture and dimension. They’re especially striking on darker hoodies, charcoal, navy, or forest green, which is perfect for Ketchikan’s fall palette.
4. Minimalist Branding Wins Big
Not every custom hoodie needs to scream your logo across the chest. This year, minimalism is the trend and local businesses are embracing it.
Instead of large front graphics, many customers are opting for:
- Small chest prints paired with a larger back design
- Left sleeve logos that add subtle branding
- Tone-on-tone ink for a professional, refined finish
Minimal branding makes your apparel more wearable, turning a work hoodie into an everyday favorite. Your team stays comfortable, and your logo gets seen around town.
5. Sustainable and Small-Batch Printing
Sustainability continues to shape how we think about apparel production. In Ketchikan, small-batch screen printing aligns perfectly with the local, eco-conscious mindset.
Pacific Printing specializes in small-batch, custom apparel printing, meaning:
- Less waste – We print exactly what you need, no minimum overstock
- Eco-friendly inks – We use high-quality, durable inks that reduce reprints
- Local production – Everything is printed right here in Ketchikan, Alaska
By choosing local, you’re cutting down on shipping emissions, supporting small business, and keeping dollars in the community. Plus, if you ever need a quick reorder or size adjustment, you don’t have to wait weeks for delivery from the Lower 48.
6. Creative Artwork & Gradient Designs
Color is making a comeback, especially gradients, ombré fades, and multi-layered inks. Whether it’s a bold sunset-inspired print or a cool blue coastal fade, these effects give hoodies and crewnecks a fresh, modern vibe.
Gradient prints look especially good on:
- Event apparel for festivals, fundraisers, and school spirit wear
- Tourism merchandise that captures Alaska’s natural colors
- Business branding that wants to stand out from traditional one-color logos
Our design team can help you build a digital mockup and recommend color layers that translate beautifully from screen to fabric.
7. Local Themes & Customization
One of the biggest advantages of printing locally is customization. At Pacific Printing, we work closely with businesses, artists, and organizations to create designs that capture the spirit of Southeast Alaska.
Popular local-themed designs this season include:
- Coastal wildlife silhouettes like orcas, eagles, and salmon
- Retro “Alaska adventure” typography for tourism gear
- Rainforest green and deep ocean blue colorways
Every piece we print tells a story, and nothing connects people like local pride.
8. Employee Gear That Actually Gets Worn
We’ve all seen it: company hoodies that stay buried in the closet because they don’t fit right or feel good. That’s changing fast. Today’s businesses want branded apparel employees actually love wearing on or off the clock.
We recommend choosing:
- High-quality blanks from reputable brands
- Thoughtful color schemes that match your brand
- Comfortable, flattering cuts for every body type
When your team wears your gear proudly, it becomes more than apparel, it becomes advertising in motion.
9. Local Production Means Faster Turnaround
Fall is busy. Between community events, school fundraisers, and business promotions, turnaround time matters. That’s where Pacific Printing shines.
In Ketchikan, we offer:
- Quick production
- In-person proofs
- Flexible reorders
You won’t have to deal with long shipping delays or misprints from large online vendors.
