The Stanley/Stella Cruiser 2.0 is a 10.3 oz heavyweight hoodie, the Drummer 2.0 an 8.3 oz midweight hoodie with a trimmer body, and the Changer 2.0 is the crewneck sweatshirt version of the Cruiser 2.0: same 10.3 oz fleece, same size chart, no hood. All three use 80% organic cotton and 20% recycled polyester.
We are an official Stanley/Stella dealer in Santa Fe Springs, serving Los Angeles and Orange County. One note on names: the Changer 2.0 is a crewneck, not a hoodie, but buyers often weigh it against the two hoodies, so it belongs here.

How do the Cruiser 2.0, Drummer 2.0 and Changer 2.0 compare?

How does the Drummer 2.0 fit compared with the Cruiser 2.0?
Trimmer and shorter. Both are listed as medium fit, but the Drummer 2.0 is 2 in narrower across the chest laid flat in every size except XS (1 3/4 in), and 1 1/4 in shorter in every size. In M, that is 21 1/4 in half chest and 27 1/2 in length against 23 1/4 in and 28 3/4 in.
| Size | Cruiser 2.0 and Changer 2.0 half chest | Cruiser 2.0 and Changer 2.0 length | Drummer 2.0 half chest | Drummer 2.0 length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 21 3/4 | 28 | 19 3/4 | 26 3/4 |
| M | 23 1/4 | 28 3/4 | 21 1/4 | 27 1/2 |
| L | 24 3/4 | 29 1/2 | 22 3/4 | 28 1/4 |
| XL | 26 3/4 | 30 3/4 | 24 3/4 | 29 1/2 |
| 2XL | 28 3/4 | 31 3/4 | 26 3/4 | 30 1/2 |
| 3XL | 30 3/4 | 32 3/4 | 28 3/4 | 31 1/2 |
Inches, laid flat, from the Stanley/Stella product API. The full charts from XXS to 5XL are on our size chart pages for the Cruiser 2.0, Drummer 2.0 and Changer 2.0.
In practice, a Drummer 2.0 in M is close to a Cruiser 2.0 in S across the chest (21 1/4 in against 21 3/4 in).
Do the Cruiser 2.0 and Changer 2.0 really share a size chart?
Yes. Stanley/Stella lists identical half chest, body length and sleeve length for the two styles at every size from XXS to 5XL. So an L in the hoodie is an L in the crewneck.
Which is the better choice for merch and which for uniforms?
For retail merch, the Cruiser 2.0 has the weight, the metal-tipped drawcords and the widest color range of the three. For staff uniforms, the Drummer 2.0 is lighter and easier to layer, with flat cords and no metal tips or eyelets listed. The Changer 2.0 suits dress codes that do not allow hoods.
- Merch and brand drops: Cruiser 2.0. 10.3 oz, double-lined hood, metal tipping and eyelets, and 47 colors. Stanley/Stella calls it its iconic unisex heavyweight hoodie.
- Staff, crews and teams: Drummer 2.0. 8.3 oz with flat drawcords and stitched eyelets, a trimmer body, and 23 colors.
- Front-of-house and office: Changer 2.0. No hood, no pocket listed, the same heavy fleece and fit as the Cruiser 2.0, and 44 colors.
- Mixed orders. Pair the Cruiser 2.0 with the Changer 2.0 for matching sizing. The Drummer 2.0 has a crewneck counterpart in the 8.3 oz Roller.
How do they compare on carbon and water?
The Cruiser 2.0 has the highest figures of the three, because it is the heaviest garment with a hood. The Drummer 2.0 and Changer 2.0 are close to each other: the lighter fleece and the missing hood land in about the same place. Natural Raw is the lowest-impact color on all three.
| Style | Carbon, gate (kg CO2 eq), dyed | Carbon, gate, Natural Raw | Water, gate (cubic meters), dyed | Water, gate, Natural Raw |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cruiser 2.0 | 8.13 | 6.2 | 5.38 | 2.56 |
| Drummer 2.0 | 6.7 | 5.2 | 4.23 | 2.03 |
| Changer 2.0 | 6.48 | 4.97 | 4.23 | 2.02 |

Which prints and embroiders best?
All three have the same 100% organic cotton face, so screen printing, DTG, DTF and embroidery all work on each. The choice comes down to garment, not printability. On the hoodies, a front print sits above the kangaroo pocket. The Changer 2.0 has no pocket listed, so a front design has more open space.
- Screen printing. The cotton face takes plastisol and water-based inks on all three.
- Embroidery. A left chest logo up to 5,000 stitches is a common uniform choice. The heavier 10.3 oz fleece holds dense stitching well. See embroidery on Stanley/Stella hoodies and sweatshirts.
- DTG. Works on all three. Dark colors get a white underbase.
Our take
Between them, these three cover two fleece weights and both necklines. As an official Stanley/Stella dealer, we steer premium merch to the Cruiser 2.0, everyday staff gear to the lighter Drummer 2.0, and no-hood dress codes to the Changer 2.0, which also matches the Cruiser 2.0 size for size. See them on Stanley/Stella's Drummer 2.0 page and Changer 2.0 page, or browse our Stanley/Stella hub.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Stanley/Stella Cruiser and Drummer?
The Cruiser 2.0 is a 10.3 oz heavyweight hoodie with metal-tipped drawcords and 47 colors. The Drummer 2.0 is an 8.3 oz midweight with flat drawcords, 23 colors, and a body 2 in narrower laid flat and 1 1/4 in shorter in most sizes.
Is the Changer 2.0 a hoodie?
No. The Changer 2.0 (SASU004) is a crewneck sweatshirt. It uses the same 10.3 oz fleece as the Cruiser 2.0 hoodie and has the same size chart, with a 1x1 rib collar instead of a hood.
Which is heavier, the Cruiser 2.0 or the Drummer 2.0?
The Cruiser 2.0, at 10.3 oz/yd² (349 g/m²). The Drummer 2.0 is 8.3 oz/yd² (281 g/m²).
Does the Drummer 2.0 run small?
It is listed as a medium fit, but it is trimmer than the Cruiser 2.0: 21 1/4 in half chest in M against 23 1/4 in. Use the Drummer 2.0 chart rather than a Cruiser 2.0 size.
Which hoodie is better for work uniforms?
Many uniform orders suit the Drummer 2.0: lighter for layering, flat drawcords with stitched eyelets and no metal tips listed. Where hoods are not allowed, the Changer 2.0 crewneck gives the same heavy fleece as the Cruiser 2.0.
What is the minimum for custom Stanley/Stella hoodies?
At French Press Custom, 36 pieces per design for screen printing, 24 for embroidery, 12 for DTF and none for DTG. We are in Santa Fe Springs and serve Los Angeles and Orange County.
