Custom V-Neck Sweaters With Your Crest or Logo

Two sweaters can both be sold as a V-neck and still look nothing alike in a line-up. One buttons down the front. The other goes on over the head. So when a school, an office or a club asks us about custom v-neck sweaters, we sort out the front before color, size or crest, because a uniform handbook or a dress code often has one of the two in mind. Each style in this category can carry your crest or logo on the chest, stitched or printed, and a single sweater counts as an order.

Buttons or Pull-Over: Which Custom V-Neck Sweaters Fit Your Dress Code?

The button-front pair is Harriton's: the men's Harriton M425 and the women's M425W. Their titles call them pullovers. Their product details say something else: a V-neck that closes with dyed-to-match buttons, meaning buttons dyed the same color as the sweater, and a ribbed center front. That's a cardigan build, and both styles are filed under our cardigans too. Can't tell from the photos? Message us the style number first. We'll look at that front for you.

Both are 11.8 oz acrylic. That fabric weight (oz) is shared only with the M420 pair below; the other V-necks here sit between 6.2 and 8 oz. The details also name Harriton's Pilbloc anti-pill performance.

No buttons are named in the details of any other style here. Those are your pull-over Vs:

• Harriton M420 and its women's cut, the M420W. The buttoned pair's knit, minus the buttons.
• Devon & Jones DG445 plus the women's DG445W
• Boxercraft BM1201, a single style whose rib collar its details describe as high and overlapping.
• Devon & Jones D475, which lists one size right now, 4XL.

Weights, blends and fit notes for these pull-overs sit on our pullover sweaters page, so we'll keep this one about the front and the crest.

Schools ask us if students can choose either front, buttoned or not. They can. We'd still give each group one front, and the size charts are part of why (more on that below).

Men's and Women's Cuts, Colors and Sizes

Three of these have a matching women's cut: the M420, the M425 and the DG445. The men's M420 and M425 go from XS up to 6XL, and their women's partners from XS to 3XL. The DG445 runs S to 4XL, the DG445W XS to 3XL. The BM1201 comes as a single style, XS to 3XL.

Color is where the buttoned pair gets tricky. Its color menu lists five: Black, Red, Grey Heather, Hunter and Dark Navy. The black, the navy and the grey heather come in every size on both cuts. Red and Hunter don't. On the women's M425W, Hunter and Red are offered in XL alone. On the men's M425, Red comes in XL, 5XL and 6XL, and Hunter in every size except XS and 3XL. So a green or red school has a problem with this pair. Real snag.

The BM1201 has gaps of its own. Sky Blue is its one color offered across the whole run, XS through 3XL, and size S shows up in Sky Blue and no other color. The M420 pair and the DG445 pair have none of that: each of their colors comes in each size on their menus.

From the size charts: letter for letter, the buttoned Harritons are cut a little longer than the pull-over Harritons. Half an inch longer in body length on the men's M425 than the M420, and a full inch on the women's M425W against the M420W, in every size. Put both styles side by side in a class photo and the hems won't line up, even with everyone in the right size. That's the reason for one front per group.

Embroidered V-Neck Sweaters: Where the Crest Sits

The product text on each style here approves two decoration spots: left chest, right chest. Left chest is the most common logo spot, and it's the natural home for a crest. The right side stays clear, or carries a short word like a department or "Faculty".

A crest-plus-name sweater fits those two spots neatly. On the form, each chest box holds up to 5 inches of printed art, embroidered lettering or an embroidered logo: the crest as a logo on the left, a name or title as lettering on the right. The sleeve boxes carry the same three choices. A back ID, such as a school or company name, has its own Full Back box, thread only, lettering or a logo, in two sizes (11–12 inch, 13–14 inch). The product text names neither the sleeves nor the back as approved spots, though. So of those jobs, the crest and the name are covered by approved spots, and the back ID isn't.

V-neck sweaters with crest artwork: thread or ink?

We'd stitch a crest. Pick Logo Embroidery in the Left Chest box. A crest is a badge, and thread gives it that raised, badge-like finish that ink doesn't. Printing earns its place when the art leans on soft color fades or photo detail, since that's the kind of art print handles well.

Digitizing comes first. That's the step where your crest becomes the stitch file our embroidery machines work from, with every stitch placed. Small lettering inside a crest works better in satin stitch, a run of smooth, narrow stitches, and keeping the thread colors to a handful helps a 5-inch crest stay crisp. Want the bigger picture on thread? Read about our custom embroidery work.

If the school office keeps paperwork, two of our pages belong in that folder: the Artwork Acceptance Policy, which we apply to crest files, and the Spoilage Policy, which we follow while stitching.

Ordering Custom V-Neck Sweaters for a School, Office or Club

Your side: pick your sweaters (a single one is fine: our MOQ, or minimum order, is 1 piece), upload the crest, then approve the mockup, which is an on-screen layout of your crest on the style you chose.
Our side: once your crest reaches us, 2–3 working days go into drawing your mockup.
Then: after you approve yours, stitching and finishing run 7–10 working days.
Dressing every grade at once, or several branches? Those orders run on dates we work out with you, so get in touch first.

The front you choose shows up on the quote too: in every size, the buttoned M425 pair is priced a little above the pull-over M420 pair, and on both of those pairs, like the DG445s, the price climbs a step with each size from 2XL. Each chest or sleeve box you fill adds to the total, depending on whether you chose ink, thread lettering or a thread logo for it. A Full Back adds more, and its 13–14 inch size sits above the 11–12. The number of sweaters rounds it out.

Upload the crest on our quote form with one line per group, something like "girls: M425W, Dark Navy / boys: M420, Dark Navy," and each line gets its own price in our reply.

No sleeves wanted? Look at sweater vests. The wider knit range is under custom sweaters, and shirts or jackets for the same people sit in custom apparel.

Buttons or no buttons. Settle that first, and the rest of a V-neck order is mostly sizes.
