Description
Product Overview
This men’s cotton embroidered knitted cardigan is a plain-knit layer with a V neckline finished in a ribbed V band. The body carries no print or all-over pattern, so the surface stays clean under the embroidery. The reference sample works in a cream or off-white ground; displayed shades are reference only, and production colors are developed to the buyer’s palette.
A ribbed placket band runs the full opening with five black buttons, and ribbing finishes the collar, the cuffs and the lower hem. Inside the cuff and hem ribbing there is one black contrast stripe, which reads as a thin dark line at the edges. The body is cut with a dropped shoulder into a relaxed shape, and a single black letter is embroidered on the left chest. A woven label sits at the inside back collar.

Suitable Buyers and Collections
Conventional menswear labels adding an embroidered knit layer to a core range, knitwear brands building a plain-ground cardigan with a single chest mark, and private-label collections that want the decoration kept to one point rather than spread across the garment. It suits brands running a coordinated group where the same chest letter carries onto a tee or a sweatshirt, and online retailers that need a clean product shot with one clear focal detail.
Custom Development Information
The first thing we need is the chest letter artwork, alongside your size chart and a color direction. We then check how the plain-knit body will take that embroidery and where the contrast stripe sits inside the rib, before a sample goes on the table.
MOQ is confirmed after reviewing the yarn, color, craftsmanship and order requirements. Sampling and production schedules are confirmed after all design details are approved. The letter size and the stripe color are both agreed on the sample, since each one shifts the embroidery and trim setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the neckline on this cardigan?
A V neckline finished with a ribbed V band. The opening reads clearly at the collar, with a woven label at the inside back.
How many buttons run down the front placket?
Five black buttons run the full opening in the reference sample, set into a ribbed placket band. The count can be changed.
What detail sits inside the cuff and hem ribbing?
One black contrast stripe runs inside the rib at both the cuffs and the lower hem, so a thin dark line appears at the edges of the garment.
What is embroidered on the left chest?
A single black letter, embroidered on the left chest panel. The stitch structure is visible at close range, and the content can be developed from buyer artwork.
Is there any decoration on the back?
No. Nothing is placed on the back panel, so the front and the left chest carry all of the decoration.
How is the body cut?
With a dropped shoulder into a relaxed shape, finished with ribbing at the collar, cuffs and hem rather than a shaped hem band.
Can the chest letter be changed for our brand?
Yes. The letter content, size and position are developed from buyer artwork, and the change is confirmed on the sample before production.
What reference material do you need at the outset?
The chest letter artwork, a size chart and a color direction are what we need first, and a reference garment can stand in for a drawing.
Pass us the chest letter artwork and the size chart, and we will set up the embroidery sample.
