Elina HartsA $135 heavyweight hoodie vs a $55 cause-driven one. The price gap is obvious — the size-range gap isn't what you'd expect.

Jamroc Dept. and Stay Another Day sit at opposite ends of the price spectrum — Jamroc's heavyweight hoodies run $120–165, more than double Stay Another Day's $55–63. You'd expect the pricier brand to also win on size range. It doesn't, cleanly — the real picture is more specific than that.
How we compared them
We pulled both brands' full live catalogs on August 29, 2026 — Jamroc Dept. (245 products) and Stay Another Day (119 products).
The quick verdict
Pick Jamroc Dept. if you want:
- ✅ Published fabric weight on most hoodies — 400–530 GSM figures are common across the heavyweight line
- ✅ The highest possible size ceiling — 14 of 245 products reach 6XL; Stay Another Day tops out at 5XL catalog-wide
- ✅ A much bigger catalog — 245 products versus 119
Pick Stay Another Day if you want:
- ✅ A far lower price — $55–63 hoodies versus $120–165
- ✅ A higher proportion of plus-size-friendly styles — 46 of 119 products (39%) reach 5XL, versus 19 of 245 (8%) at Jamroc
- ✅ A cause-driven purchase — every product ties back to mental health awareness and the 988 Lifeline

Size range: the nuance that matters
| Jamroc Dept. | Stay Another Day | |
|---|---|---|
| Reaches 5XL | 19 of 245 products (8%) | 46 of 119 products (39%) |
| Reaches 6XL | 14 of 245 products (6%) | 0 of 119 products |
| Smallest size offered | 2XS on 51 of 245 products | XS, no 2XS equivalent found |
This is the counterintuitive part: Jamroc technically has the higher ceiling (a handful of styles reach 6XL, which nothing at Stay Another Day does), but if you specifically wear a 5XL, you have better odds of finding it at Stay Another Day — nearly 4 in 10 of its products offer that size, versus fewer than 1 in 10 at Jamroc. Neither brand publishes 5XL/6XL availability on the majority of its catalog, so check the specific product page either way.
Price and fabric transparency
| Jamroc Dept. | Stay Another Day | |
|---|---|---|
| Hoodie price | $120–165 | $55–63 |
| Tee price | $34–85 | $28–35 |
| Published fabric weight (GSM) | Common across the heavyweight line (400–530 GSM) | Not published on the products we checked |
Jamroc's much higher price does come with a real, verifiable data point most cheaper hoodie brands skip entirely: published GSM. Stay Another Day doesn't publish fabric weight, though its products describe the blank (Gildan Heavyweight Fleece for hoodies) by name, which at least tells you the base material line even without an exact number.
Who each brand suits best
- ✅ You want to see the exact fabric weight before buying — Jamroc publishes GSM, Stay Another Day doesn't
- ✅ You specifically wear 5XL — Stay Another Day has a meaningfully higher share of styles that reach it
- ✅ You wear 6XL — only Jamroc has any styles that reach that size at all
- ✅ Budget is the deciding factor — Stay Another Day's hoodies run less than half of Jamroc's
- ✅ The cause matters to you — Stay Another Day's whole catalog supports mental health awareness messaging (donation percentage not disclosed by the brand)
Frequently asked questions
Which brand is better for plus sizes?
It depends on the exact size. Stay Another Day has a higher proportion of styles reaching 5XL (39%
versus 8%). Jamroc Dept. is the only one of the two with any styles reaching 6XL.
Why is Jamroc so much more expensive?
Jamroc publishes fabric weight (400–530 GSM) on most of its heavyweight hoodies — meaningfully
heavier than a typical fleece hoodie — which is a real cost driver, though we can't independently
verify manufacturing costs.
Does Stay Another Day publish fabric weight?
Not on the products we checked. It names the blank (Gildan Heavyweight Fleece) but doesn't publish a
GSM figure the way Jamroc does.
Which brand has a bigger catalog?
Jamroc Dept., with 245 products versus Stay Another Day's 119.
