A sleeveless cable-knit vest at 5GG-7GG - heavy enough to read as outerwear over a shirt, with no sleeves to fit or grade. Two things follow from that, and they are why this body gets specified for group and uniform programmes: the flat front panel above the cable takes a crest, chest logo or embroidered badge without fighting the stitch, and sizing across a mixed group is far more forgiving than a sleeved body, because there is no sleeve length to get wrong.
Navy is the sample colourway, not the range. The body is knitted to order, so the colour is yours to specify - send a Pantone TCX code, a swatch or an existing garment and we return a lab dip before bulk. The acrylic content in the wool / acrylic build is what keeps it washable for a garment that gets worn hard and laundered often.
To quote you we need: quantity and colour breakdown, artwork for any crest or logo (vector preferred, a clean image works), size range, and the date you need them in hand. Pricing on this style runs USD 8.97-14.59 per piece by quantity - a real quoted range, not an index figure. MOQ is 30 pieces per colour. Sampling runs 15-25 days from a confirmed tech pack and yarn, bulk 30-45 days. If you are working to an event or launch date, say so up front - dated programmes are planned backwards from the deadline rather than forwards from the order.
The same body, specified for a fashion range.
Everything above is written around group and uniform programmes, because that is what this body is most often specified for. It is also the block we are most often asked to re-cut for a fashion range, and that is a different set of decisions.
Fit. Regular is how the sample is knitted, not a limit. The same panel is re-calculated for an oversized, relaxed or unisex block - a dropped shoulder, a wider body and a deeper armhole are a re-calculation of the panel, not a different garment. Unisex sizing is unusually clean on a sleeveless body, for the same reason the sizing is forgiving across a mixed group: there is no sleeve length to reconcile between blocks.
Stitch tension. A deliberately opened tension gives the airy, slightly under-knitted handle behind the current relaxed direction. Two things to know before specifying it. A loose tension changes the measurements, so a fitted block cannot simply be graded up and slackened - the panel has to be re-calculated. And the handle is confirmed on a knitted swatch before the graded sample, rather than discovered at fit.

Yes. We run full OEM/ODM private-label production - custom colours, sizing (XS-3XL), yarn and gauge, plus woven main labels, care labels, hangtags and custom packaging under your own brand. Dongguan Licheng Garment holds OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, ISO 9001, GRS and GOTS.
MOQ is 30 pieces per colour/style, and sizes may be mixed within that 30 - so a first collection or a test drop is workable. Indicative FOB is USD 8.97-14.59 per piece at MOQ 30 per colour, tiered by quantity and dependent on yarn, gauge and colour count. Send your target quantity and we price it exactly.
It is knitted in wool / acrylic at 5GG–7GG (confirmed per design), with cable-knit, crew neck, sweater vest silhouette. We can also review merino wool, cotton-cashmere, organic cotton, linen blends and recycled yarns, and adjust gauge, colour, fit and trims to your target season and price.
Development samples run about 15-25 days from a confirmed tech pack and yarn. Bulk is typically 30-45 days depending on quantity, yarn availability and how much customization the style carries.

Trims. Neckline, armhole and hem trims are specified with the body: rib depth and width, or a contrast colour. Half-cardigan - also called half-brioche or fisherman rib - is available in place of a plain rib for a fuller, softer, more three-dimensional trim, and works best at 5GG-7GG where the stitch has room to bloom.
Yarn. The sampled build is wool / acrylic, chosen because it launders hard. For a softer, hairier handle the same body is knitted in wool/alpaca blends, mohair blends or brushed lambswool: alpaca gives drape and a soft halo with less prickle than mohair, mohair gives a longer and more visible halo, and brushed lambswool is the most economical of the three and the easiest to repeat in bulk. Melange, marl and yarn-dyed stripe are not approved by lab dip at all - the blend happens before spinning, so the approval sample has to be knitted rather than wound on a card, which adds one approval round.
Front-panel artwork. The flat panel above the cable is the reason this body gets chosen for placed artwork. Embroidery and appliqué are commissioned through a partner workshop. Artwork colour count drives cost more than size does, and the backing is chosen against gauge and fibre and confirmed on a swatch before the sample.

Quality Control
Strict quality control across every stage.
Yes. We knit on our own flat-bed machines across 3GG-18GG, so cable can be re-scaled, re-coloured or replaced with your artwork, and the neckline, fit, trims and length adjusted to your tech pack. We also add embroidery, appliqué and custom branding. This style is developed for B2B apparel brands and private-label buyers in North America and Europe.
Yes. Regular is the sampled fit, not a limit. We re-calculate the panel for a dropped shoulder, a wider body and a deeper armhole. A sleeveless body takes unisex sizing unusually well, because there is no sleeve length to reconcile between a men's and a women's block. MOQ stays 30 pieces per colour, with sizes mixed inside that 30.
