Product Details
This sand-washed rib zip jacket combines a close body fit with long sleeves, a low bomber-style collar and a full front zipper. Curved seams shape the waist without making the silhouette look compressed, while narrow contrast piping along the sleeves adds a clean athletic reference.

Sand-Washed 1×1 Rib with Soft Stretch Recovery
Modal-Rich 300 GSM Construction
The fabric combines 68.7% Modal, 23.8% polyester and 7.5% spandex in a 300 GSM 1×1 rib structure. Modal contributes a soft hand and smoother drape, while polyester supports dimensional stability. The spandex content provides stretch and recovery through the shoulders, sleeves and shaped torso, helping the jacket retain a close fit without relying on heavy compression.
Sand Wash for a Less Polished Surface
Sand washing softens the rib and reduces an overly new or shiny appearance. The wash standard should be reviewed for hand feel, shade and surface consistency. Excessive washing can affect recovery, so stretch measurements should be checked before and after finishing.
Zipper Control, Seam Shaping and Piping Accuracy
The full zipper creates the strongest vertical line on the garment. Zipper tape must stay flat from collar to hem without pulling the rib inward or creating waves. The curved body seams should meet symmetrically at the waist so the fitted shape remains balanced on both sides.
Contrast piping runs from shoulder to sleeve hem, making width and placement easy to compare. Sampling and in-line inspection should cover piping tension, sleeve rotation, zipper alignment, collar shape and finished body length. These checks help preserve the approved fit through bulk production.
A Polished Layer for Active-Inspired Collections
This jacket works over fitted tanks, lightweight tees and studio tops, and pairs with leggings, flare pants or tailored athleisure bottoms. The rib texture and sand-washed hand give it a softer lifestyle position, while the piping keeps a clear sport influence. It is suitable for light activity and everyday wear rather than technical outerwear protection.

Buyer FAQs for Sand-Washed Rib Jackets
Does the sand wash affect stretch recovery?
It can if the finish is too strong. Recovery and finished measurements should be checked after washing against the approved standard.
Can the sleeve piping be removed or widened?
Yes. Piping width, color and placement can be revised, but the seam construction and sleeve balance should be reviewed in a new sample.
What should be approved before bulk production?
Key points include wash hand, rib recovery, zipper flatness, piping symmetry, collar shape and overall fit balance.
Confirming Rib Recovery and Zip Flatness Before Size Grading
Review the approved sample for wash consistency, stretch recovery, zipper alignment, sleeve piping, waist shaping and finished length. For an accurate quotation, provide the target quantity, size range, preferred colors, piping direction, branding requirements and any technical files.
