7GG Stone Washed V-Neck Cable Knit Sweater Manufacturer | 100% Cotton

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

This men's 7GG V-neck sweater combines heritage cable knitting with a refined mineral-washed finish, offering a more elevated alternative to conventional vintage crewneck knitwear. The defining construction uses two complementary stitch techniques: a dense rice stitch texture across the central body and structured diamond cable braids along the sides. This contrast creates visual depth without relying on prints or excessive decoration. Knitted from 100% cotton at approximately 429g, the sweater has a substantial yet breathable hand feel. Its weight makes it suitable for autumn layering, while the V-neck silhouette naturally works with Oxford shirts, tees, and other smart-casual layers. The charcoal base is developed through a controlled pebble stone-washing process. Surface friction naturally catches the raised rice-stitch grains and cable ridges, creating softer faded highlights while retaining deeper tones inside the stitch recesses. The result is a muted, mineral-like patina rather than an artificially distressed appearance. A clean 1x1 ribbed V-neck, cuffs, and hem maintain the understated silhouette. The balanced combination of texture and wash makes the style particularly suitable for premium heritage, Ivy-inspired, vintage lifestyle, and contemporary casualwear brands. Manufactured in Puyuan with computerized flatbed knitting technology, the style can be developed from a brand's reference garment, tech pack, stitch concept, or seasonal color direction. Custom stitch structures, wash development, branding details, and fit grading are available for private-label collections.

MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY

• ✓ Mixed-Stitch Engineering: Different stitch densities require carefully balanced loop lengths to keep the rice-stitch body and cable sections visually consistent without panel distortion.
• ✓ V-Neck Formation: The V-neck point is shaped and linked precisely to maintain symmetry and a clean neckline after washing.
• ✓ Textured Wash Control: Stone-wash parameters are adjusted according to the raised surface structure so that the cable and rice-stitch definition remains clear after finishing.
• ✓ Cotton Dimensional Stability: Wash shrinkage is controlled through pre-production testing, dimensional compensation, drying, and final steam setting before bulk approval.
