FAQ
What is a Hoodie Bar?
A Hoodie Bar is a premium live event experience where guests choose a hoodie or crewneck and a graphic and watch their custom garment produced on site during the event.
How much does a Hoodie Bar cost in St. Louis?
Hoodie Bar pricing is provided by custom quote and depends on garment choice, station count, quantity, and upgrades. A standard package runs three hours with one production station and up to 60 hoodies or crewnecks, scaling to six stations. Request a quote for exact pricing.
How many hoodies can you produce during an event?
Because hoodies require more handling, we plan around approximately 20 garments per hour per station — about 60 over a three-hour activation — scaling proportionally with additional stations.
Can guests personalize their hoodie?
Yes. Our optional Personalization Station can add approved names, numbers, or initials for a per-garment fee.
What garments can guests choose from?
Standard packages include pullover hoodies and crewneck sweatshirts. Premium heavyweight, fleece, and oversized / streetwear options are available as upgrades; zip and cropped hoodies are custom-quoted.
Can you print our company logo?
Yes. Corporate logos, sponsor branding, campaign artwork, and event graphics are produced in-house and built into the design menu.
Can you handle large corporate events?
Yes. The Hoodie Bar scales to as many as six production stations with additional staff, inventory management, and production oversight.
