Made in any colours — shown here in purple and lavender
Women's ranges buy this one cropped more often than long, and in purple over lavender more often than anything else. We grade it on a women's block and will shorten the body and raise the rib to suit.
Purple over lavender has moved from cheer and dance squads into mainstream women's-fit outerwear, and it is the colourway that drives the most add-on sizes.
Before the melton jacket became the default, the letterman cardigan was the award garment, and it has come back for the reason most heritage pieces do: it is wearable in places a bulky jacket is not. This one is knitted at 12 gauge in a 50/50 acrylic-wool blend at roughly 420 gsm — dense enough to hold a chenille crest, fine enough to sit under a coat.
The contrast sleeves are knitted in, not stitched-on fabric panels, and the V-neck, cuffs and hem carry a 2x2 striped rib in your colours. Numbers can be intarsia-knitted into the body rather than applied, which is the detail that separates a real varsity cardigan from a cardigan with a badge on it.
It sells hardest to schools and universities running an award or prefect programme, to alumni stores, and to streetwear labels that want the collegiate reference in something a customer will wear to work. We will grade it to a women's or youth block, change the button count, or run it cropped.
Blackthorn World has manufactured outerwear in Sialkot since 1995 under ISO 9001:2015 quality management, with WRAP and SMETA/Sedex social compliance. Cutting, embroidery, chenille and stitching all stay under one roof, so the colour standard you approve on your sample is the one repeated on your fifth reorder. We ship door to door to the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Europe, the Nordics, Japan, Australia and New Zealand by DHL, UPS and FedEx, and by sea for container volumes.

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.
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.
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.
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.
