OEM 12GG Merino Wool Blend 1/4 Zip Sweater with Suede Trim & Equestrian Crest manufacturer

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Designed around classic country-club and heritage menswear influences, this men's quarter-zip sweater brings together distinctive surface texture and carefully considered detailing. The sweater is knitted from a 50% Merino wool / 50% acrylic blend, balancing the naturally soft hand feel and thermal comfort of Merino wool with the durability and dimensional stability of acrylic. The 12GG construction gives the garment a refined knitted appearance while allowing different stitch textures to be incorporated across the body. A structured 1/4 zip stand collar forms the focal point of the design. Suede-textured trim follows the collar and zipper opening, creating a subtle contrast between the soft knit surface and the more structured accent material. The metal zipper with a vintage-inspired pull adds to the heritage character. Across the chest, contrasting horizontal stripes frame an equestrian-style crest embroidery, giving the sweater a distinctive identity without overwhelming the classic silhouette. Textured knitting across selected upper-body areas adds depth to the design, while the smoother knit construction through the main body creates a balanced visual transition. Ribbed cuffs and hem provide a clean finish and help maintain the shape of the garment. The style works naturally across country club, golf, equestrian, business-casual and premium lifestyle collections, making it suitable for autumn and winter menswear ranges.

MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY

• ✓ Merino-Acrylic Yarn Handling: The blended yarn requires controlled knitting tension to maintain an even surface and consistent dimensions across the garment panels.
• ✓ Textured Knit Development: Raised stitch areas and smoother plain-knit sections are developed together to achieve a clean transition without excessive distortion between structures.
• ✓ Suede Trim Attachment: The suede-textured collar and placket accents require careful positioning and sewing control to maintain a smooth connection with the knitted body.
• ✓ Zipper Installation: The 1/4 metal zipper is aligned with the knitted placket before finishing to ensure a clean opening and balanced collar shape.
• ✓ Finishing & Shape Control: After linking and finishing, garments are steamed and shaped according to the approved measurements before final inspection.
