Your spec

From merino wool knit sweaters to your most elaborate vision

A clean merino wool crew neck with no branding is straightforward production. A fully custom knit sweater built with chain-stitch embroidery across the chest and shoulders - that is the work our production team and vetted factories handle daily. The elaborate end is the norm, not the exception.
