Your spec

From merino wool sweaters to your most elaborate vision

A clean Merino wool sweater with no branding is straightforward factory work. A fully custom construction finished with chain-stitch embroidery across panels and seams is the kind of development our production team handles daily. For the brands we work with, the elaborate end is the norm, not the exception.

Why source custom sweaters with THE/STUDIO

THE/STUDIO gives you a production team built in from the first brief to the final drop. Instead of cold-calling every sweater manufacturer you can find, you tap into a vetted network of 1,500+ factories, submit your specs, and get matched to the right partner for your custom sweaters - whether you need low-MOQ samples in merino wool or a full private label run in fleece. Your dedicated team handles tech packs, factory communication, and sample reviews so you can focus on designing the line, not managing the process.

Every custom sweater is made to your spec and finished with your branding - woven labels, custom packaging, chain-stitch embroidery, whatever the design calls for. THE/STUDIO's quality checks happen at key production milestones, so issues get caught before they ship. You approve each sample, lock in your white label details, and track timelines in one dashboard. The result: on-time drops that match the vision you briefed, produced at the factory you selected, with full control from start to finish.
