How the Order Runs

A hoodie or zip-up project runs as: construction review, zipper and trim selection, first sample in 3–7 days, hood and placket assessment, pre-production sign-off, then bulk with zipper and seam checks. The full ten-step route, and what we need from you at each stage, is documented on the OEM/ODM process page.

Custom Knit Hoodie and Zip-Up FAQs

Which zipper types do you use on knitwear?

Metal, plastic moulded and nylon coil zippers, in full-zip and quarter-zip lengths. Zipper weight has to suit the knit weight, otherwise the placket waves after washing.

How do you stop the placket from rippling?

The zipper tape is attached under controlled tension and the placket is pressed and rechecked after finishing. It is one of the specific checks we run on every zip style.

Can hoods be lined or double-layer?

Yes. Double-layer hoods, contrast linings and drawcord eyelets are all possible; each adds knitting or make-up time, which is confirmed in the quotation.

Can you produce matching hoodie and trouser sets?

Yes. Sets are knitted in the same yarn lot so the colour matches, and both pieces are graded together before bulk.
