What the Weight Does to the Pullover
Weight is the first decision, because it sets the drape, the hand feel and how the stand collar holds its shape.
360 GSM loopback
The lighter end of the range. The body drapes closer and the pullover layers under a jacket without bulk.
400 GSM combed cotton
The reference build. A dense body that holds a boxy line and keeps the collar standing when the zip is open.
450 to 500 GSM
The heaviest bodies on the line, for programmes building a mid layer or a cold weather piece.
Lounge and Set Builds on the Same Body
The same French terry body takes a lounge cut and a matching bottom, which is how a pullover becomes part of a set.
Relaxed lounge cut
The half-zip is cut with a softer shoulder and a longer body for lounge wear, still on the same French terry base.
Matched set
Pullover and bottom are produced from the same fabric lot, so a lounge set ships as one colour rather than two approximations.
The YKK Metal Half-Zip
A metal zip on a heavy body needs a slider that will not creep, and a pull that can carry the brand.
Auto-lock slider
The slider locks where it is set, so the pull does not drift down a heavy body while the pullover is worn open.
Branded pull
The zipper pull can be branded and sized for grip, so the trim carries the mark as well as the body.
Stand collar finish
The collar is finished to fold cleanly when the zip is up and lie flat when it is open.
Every Trim Point Under Your Brand
The trim programme is what makes the pullover yours rather than a stock garment with a print added.

French Terry Half-Zip Questions
What weight is the French terry half-zip pullover?
The reference build is 400 GSM combed cotton French terry. The wider range runs from 360 to 500 GSM loopback French terry.
What is the minimum order?
Bulk production starts at 20 pieces per design on a made to order run, or 5 to 10 pieces where the body is already on the line.
Which zip is fitted as standard?
A YKK metal half-zip with an auto-lock slider, so the pull does not drift on a heavy body. The pull can be branded and sized for grip.
Is the fabric cotton or a blend?
The 400 GSM reference is combed cotton French terry. The wider 360 to 500 GSM range is loopback French terry.
Do you offer an anti-pill finish?
Yes. An anti-pill finish is available across the weight range, and sherpa backing is available where a programme needs more warmth.
Can the pullover be built as part of a lounge set?
Yes. A relaxed lounge cut is available on the same French terry body, and the pullover plus bottom can be produced from the same fabric lot as one set.
Whose labels and trims go on the pullover?
Yours. Neck label, care label, zipper pull, hangtags, polybags and carton marks all follow your artwork.
Can the size range be extended?
The graded ladder runs to 4XL, and oversized grading patterns are available where a programme needs to go further.
How long does bulk production take?
Bulk production normally takes 7 to 12 days after sample, artwork and payment approval. Shipping time is additional.
Where is the pullover made?
Cut and sew and finishing run on our own lines in Tagum City and Cagayan de Oro in the Philippines.
