SOURCE ANYTHING BY THE/STUDIO
A knit sweater is a garment constructed from interlocked yarn loops, prized for its warmth, texture, and versatility across styles from oversized silhouettes to classic crew necks. THE/STUDIO is the custom knit sweater manufacturer platform with a production team built in - connecting your brand to vetted factories worldwide while handling briefs, samples, tech packs, and production tracking so you can focus on your next drop.

WHAT WE BUILD
From oversized silhouettes to raglan constructions, our custom knit sweater manufacturer network produces every style your brand needs with a built-in production team guiding each drop.

Oversized
Relaxed, dropped-shoulder fit with extra room through the body for a modern streetwear-inspired silhouette.

Crew neck
Classic round-neckline pullover that works as a private label staple across men's and women's collections.

Hooded
Pullover knit sweater with an integrated hood, blending casual comfort with custom knit detailing.

Sleeveless
Armhole-cut sweater vest ideal for layering pieces and transitional-season white label programs.

Raglan
Diagonal seam from collar to underarm giving a sporty shoulder line and unrestricted range of motion.

Your spec
Bring your own pattern or tech pack and we build to it.
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.


START YOUR BRIEF
You don't need a finished design to begin. Bring a sketch, a reference knit sweater, a tech pack, or an AI-generated spec, and we develop it into a production-ready knit sweater.

A rough concept is enough to start a knit sweater brief.

Send a spec or a reference knit sweater and we build to it.

Bring a spec from ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot. We productionize it.
