If you've shopped Hall Pass, you've probably noticed two decorating methods across the collection: tackle twill and heat press. Both look sharp — but they're constructed differently, feel different, and hold up differently over time.
Heat Press
Heat press transfers a design onto the garment using heat and pressure. It's clean, precise, and allows for full-color designs with fine detail. The And That's On Collection, the Hall academic hall series, and most graphic tees use heat press. It's the right method for bold text, multi-color logos, and intricate artwork.
Care tip: turn inside out before washing, cold water, hang to dry. Heat press can crack over time if regularly thrown in a hot dryer.
Tackle Twill
Tackle twill is embroidered fabric — letters and patches cut from twill cloth and sewn directly onto the garment. It's the same method used on traditional varsity jackets and athletic jerseys. The result is thicker, textured, and significantly more durable. Hall Pass tackle twill pieces carry a premium, structured look that stands apart from anything printed.
The tackle twill collection includes crewnecks and hoodies featuring the Aggie Bulldog in gold, kente, and black; A&T interlock in navy/cream and black/gold; NCCU Eagles; Jackson State J Tigers; and more.
Care tip: machine wash cold, hang to dry. Embroidery holds up well over time with basic care.
Which Should You Get?
Want a bold graphic statement at a lower price point — heat press. Want something that looks like it came out of an athletic locker room and will still look sharp five years from now — tackle twill. Most Hall Pass regulars have both.
