Customization & Development
Product Details
This 7-gauge cotton V-neck sweater combines a textured body stitch with vertically ribbed raglan sleeves, giving the garment visible structure without relying on prints or added trims. The medium-deep V neckline, relaxed shoulder line and full-length body make it suitable for denim, tailored trousers and casual layering. Developed as a substantial cotton knit, the style fits lifestyle, casualwear and transitional knitwear collections that need texture, weight and repeatable shape.

Substantial Cotton Knit with Mixed Stitch Definition
2/21s Cotton Yarn on a 7-Gauge Machine
The two-ply cotton yarn supports a fuller knit appearance and helps the sweater reach an approximate garment weight of 500 g. A 7-gauge construction creates a visibly knitted surface with more body than fine-gauge sweaters, while remaining suitable for everyday transitional layering. Yarn twist, color consistency and lot matching should be checked before knitting begins.
Different Structures Across Body and Sleeves
The body uses a compact textured stitch, while the raglan sleeves show stronger vertical rib lines. This contrast gives the sweater depth and helps define the shoulder construction. Stitch density, panel length and relaxation behavior must be coordinated so the sleeves and body settle evenly after finishing.
Keeping the V-Neck and Raglan Lines Symmetrical
The V-neck rib is a central visual feature. Its depth, width and joining point should remain balanced, with no twisting or uneven tension at the base of the V. The neckline must recover after wear without becoming wavy or opening beyond the approved shape.
Raglan seam positions should mirror each other and connect cleanly with the sleeve ribs. Cuff length, hem tension and finished body width also affect the relaxed fit. Final inspection should include panel measurements, shoulder balance and garment weight before bulk knitting.
Textured Knitwear for Casual and Transitional Styling
This sweater can be worn directly over a base layer or styled with shirts and fitted tops. The deep blue tone and visible cotton texture work well in casual lifestyle, denim-led and autumn transitional collections. The substantial weight gives the piece a more premium hand than lightweight cotton pullovers without introducing wool content.

Buyer FAQs for Cotton V-Neck Sweaters
Does 500 g refer to fabric GSM?
No. It refers to the approximate finished garment weight, not the fabric weight per square meter.
Can the sweater be made lighter?
Yes. Weight can be adjusted through yarn count, gauge, stitch density and garment measurements after sampling.
What should be checked before production?
Priority checks include neckline recovery, stitch consistency, panel symmetry, finished measurements, garment weight and color-lot continuity.
Confirming Stitch Density Before Yarn Booking
Review the approved sample for V-neck balance, raglan alignment, stitch definition, finished weight and post-finishing measurements. Sampling and knitwear production can be discussed according to yarn color, size range and stitch requirements. For quotation, provide the target quantity, preferred colors, measurements, branding details and technical files.
