Custom Heather Melange Shawl Collar Cardigan

This heather melange cardigan is the everyday layer that sits between a hoodie and a blazer — smooth marled knit body, ribbed shawl collar, reinforced welt pockets and natural horn buttons, cut in a relaxed smart-casual fit. The marled effect comes from the yarn itself, not from printing or space-dyeing: two or three tonal shades are plied together before knitting, so the heather reads as depth across the whole garment and never fades, cracks or washes out. Body is knitted on 7GG flat machines with a plain stitch face and rib trims, giving a mid-weight hand that drapes cleanly and holds its shape without the bulk of a heavy wool coat-cardigan. The shawl collar is knitted as a continuous ribbed band and linked on, so it rolls evenly and keeps its stand after laundering — the failure point on most cut-and-sew shawl cardigans. Yarn options cover marled polyester for accessible price tiers, wool and wool-acrylic heathers for premium positioning, and cotton marls for transitional seasons, all Pantone-matched against your swatch. Custom options include button type (horn, corozo, wood, engraved metal), pocket style, body length and label set. Full private label service — woven main label, size and care labels, kraft hangtags, woven patches and branded drawstring pouches — is standard, which makes this a straightforward SKU for lifestyle labels, menswear basics programmes, uniform and corporate gifting buyers, and DTC brands building an evergreen core cardigan. MOQ 100 pieces per design, sampling 72 hours from yarn stock confirmation, bulk production 2-3 weeks after PPS approval, DDP door-to-door shipping to US, EU, UK, AU and JP.
