Questions buyers ask

Is this knitted or cut from fleece?

Fully knitted at 12 gauge, including the contrast sleeves and the striped rib trim. It is produced on knitting machines, not cut and sewn from jersey, which is what gives it the proper cardigan drape.

Can numbers be knitted in rather than stitched on?

Yes — intarsia-knitted numbers and letters are built into the body as it is knitted. It costs more than an applied patch and it is the detail buyers who know the category look for first.

What is the minimum order?

Ten pieces per style, sizes and colourways mixed. Knitwear development takes slightly longer than cut and sew, so allow 10 to 14 days for the sample.

Is it wool or acrylic?

A 50/50 acrylic-wool blend as standard, which balances price, softness and shape retention. We also quote 100% lambswool and a cotton blend — ask and we will put all three on one costing.

What is the minimum order for custom varsity jackets?

Ten pieces per style, with sizes and colourways mixed freely across the order. That is deliberately lower than most varsity factories, which start at 50 or 100, because it lets a brand test a style at retail or a school cover a single cohort before committing to volume.

Do you ship varsity jackets to my door?

Yes. We arrange door-to-door delivery to the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Europe, the Nordics, Japan, Australia and New Zealand through DHL, UPS and FedEx, with duties and taxes quoted up front where you want a landed price. Container volumes move by sea through our forwarding partners.

Can you make the jackets under our own brand?

Yes — OEM, white label and private label are the normal case here. Your woven neck label, care and composition labels, hangtag, polybag and branded garment bag, with no Blackthorn branding anywhere on the garment or the carton.

Do you supply promotional distributors and resellers?

Yes. We supply promotional-products distributors, uniform resellers and merch agencies on a white-label basis, with neutral packaging and shipping direct to your own customer if you prefer.
