CLIFTON Whistler Custom Sherpa-Lined Hoodie

The Whistler Custom Sherpa Hoodie is the cold-weather heavyweight of the CLIFTON hoodie range. It combines a substantial cotton-fleece exterior with soft sherpa lining through the body and sleeves, creating a warm full-zip layer for outdoor events, travel, teams, staff, clubs, and cooler climates.

Choose white or black sherpa as standard, then customize the outer fabric, lining, colors, zip, pockets, embroidery, labels, and individual details.

Why Choose the Whistler?

• Full sherpa lining: Soft faux-fur fleece through the body and sleeves provides considerably more insulation than a standard hoodie.
• Two substantial outer fabrics: Choose heavyweight or premium ultra-heavy cotton fleece.
• White or black lining: Select the standard sherpa color that best complements the outer design.
• Full-length YKK zip: Easy to layer, remove, and adjust as conditions change.
• Classic or Slim fit: Choose a comfortable layering shape or a closer silhouette.
• Mixed group sizing: Men’s, women’s, and children’s sizes can be included within the same order.

Outer Fabric and Feel

The Whistler is available with two cotton-fleece outer fabrics.

• Heavyweight Cotton Fleece, 9oz / 320gsm: substantial 100% cotton fleece with a soft hand-feel, good structure, and comfortable warmth.
• Premium Heavyweight Cotton Fleece, 12oz / 400gsm: dense, ultra-heavy 100% cotton fleece for the warmest, most structured version of the Whistler.

Both options provide a natural cotton exterior suited to solid colors, contrast panels, embroidery, patches, and selected printed details.

Sherpa Lining

The inside of the Whistler is lined with soft faux-fur sherpa fleece through the body and sleeves.

Choose:

• White Sherpa: creates a lighter, classic fleece appearance and works particularly well with mid-tone and brighter outer colors.
• Black Sherpa: creates a darker, more discreet interior and works well with navy, black, charcoal, and other deep outer colors.
• Bespoke Sherpa Colors: may be available for larger projects, subject to minimum-order requirements and fabric availability.

Sherpa adds significant warmth and bulk. The Whistler is therefore designed as a cold-weather layer rather than a lightweight hoodie for indoor use.

Which Outer Fabric Should You Choose?

Choose Heavyweight Cotton Fleece for a warm sherpa-lined hoodie with substantial structure but a more manageable overall weight.

Choose Premium Heavyweight Cotton Fleece when maximum warmth, density, and a particularly substantial finish are the priorities.

Because the sherpa already adds considerable insulation, the heavyweight outer fabric will be sufficient for many teams and groups.

Classic or Slim Fit?

The Whistler is available in Classic and Slim fits, with men’s, women’s, and children’s sizing.

• Classic Fit: provides additional room through the chest, waist, and body for comfortable winter layering.
• Slim Fit: sits closer through the body while still allowing space for the sherpa interior.

Different fits and sizes can be mixed within the same order.

Fit and Hoodie Options

Available garment options include:

• Full-length YKK front zip
• White or black sherpa lining
• Bespoke sherpa colors, subject to minimums and availability
• Custom internal hood lining
• Adjustable drawcords
• Side pockets
• Optional secure zipped pockets
• Contrast body, sleeve, and shoulder panels
• Ribbed or self-fabric cuffs and waistband
• Custom zip tape and puller colors
• Embroidered logos, crests, names, and initials
• Woven or twill patches
• Selected printed details
• Custom labels and internal branding

Customize the Outside and the Inside

The Whistler can be designed as traditional clubwear with a solid cotton exterior and embroidered crest or developed into a more distinctive cold-weather uniform with contrast panels, lining colors, and personalized details.

You can customize:

• Main outer fabric colors
• Sleeve, shoulder, and body panels
• Sherpa lining color
• Hood lining and drawcord colors
• Zip tape, teeth, and puller colors
• Cuffs and waistband
• Embroidered club crests and company logos
• Names, initials, and individual personalization
• Woven and twill patches
• Custom labels and internal branding

The cotton exterior is better suited to embroidery, patches, and selected printed details than uninterrupted all-over sublimation.

Best Suited To

The Whistler is particularly well suited to outdoor teams, winter events, schools, universities, hospitality staff, resorts, travel groups, sports clubs, event crews, and organizations operating in cooler conditions.
