Product Overview
The AWDis Ecologie Wakhan regenerated zip knit sweater is a sophisticated choice for businesses seeking to align their professional appearance with environmental responsibility. This long-sleeved garment is engineered from a blend of certified regenerated cotton and recycled polyester, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional knitwear without compromising on style or comfort. Designed with a tall collar and a practical quarter-zip neck, it serves as an excellent layering piece for those cooler mornings or transitional seasons. The jersey knit construction ensures a smooth finish, while the contrast rib stitches at the shoulders, cuffs, and hem add a refined, contemporary edge to the classic jumper silhouette.
Key Features
- Regenerated Cotton Blend: Utilising 70% regenerated cotton and 30% recycled polyester, this sweater provides a soft, breathable feel while significantly reducing environmental impact.
- Quarter-Zip Neckline: The zip at the neck allows for easy temperature regulation and adds a modern, sporty touch to your professional attire.
- Contrast Rib Stitching: Distinctive ribbing at the shoulders, cuffs, and hem offers structural integrity and a subtle design detail that sets this garment apart.
- Fashion Fit: The tailored silhouette ensures a contemporary look that remains professional, avoiding the bulkiness often associated with standard knitwear.
- Tagless Design: The absence of a traditional neck label minimises irritation and allows for easy rebranding if required.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a 7-gauge jersey stitch, the Wakhan sweater offers a substantial, mid-weight feel that provides warmth without feeling overly heavy. The blend of regenerated cotton and recycled polyester is particularly effective for daily wear, as the polyester content adds essential durability and shape retention, ensuring the sweater holds its form even after repeated washes. The unisex fashion fit is designed to be versatile across various body types, providing a streamlined appearance that works well over a collared shirt or as a standalone top.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This knitted sweater is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. Given the premium nature of the knit, we highly recommend embroidery for your corporate logos or staff names. Embroidery provides a raised, three-dimensional finish that conveys a sense of permanence and authority. For larger, more graphic promotional designs, our printing techniques can also be applied, ensuring bold visibility.
All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team based in Telford. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting the art of garment decoration, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision to maintain the integrity of the knit while looking exceptionally professional.
Use Cases
The Wakhan sweater is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, front-of-house staff, or sales teams who require a smart-casual aesthetic. Its sustainable credentials also make it a top choice for eco-conscious organisations and charities looking to reflect their values through their team's uniform. It is equally effective for event staff working in air-conditioned venues or outdoor settings where a light layer is required.

Practical Advice
This sweater features a fashion fit, which is more tailored than a standard fit. If you prefer a more relaxed feel or intend to layer it over thicker shirts, you may wish to consider sizing up. The size range spans from XS (32" chest) to 2XL (52" chest), providing ample choice for your entire team. Always refer to the chest measurements provided to ensure the best fit for your staff.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic of your regenerated knitwear, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic machine wash at 30°C. Washing at lower temperatures helps to preserve the recycled cotton fibres and prevents the garment from shrinking or losing its shape over time.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals can break down the recycled polyester fibres and cause significant discolouration to both the fabric and your custom branding. Similarly, this garment should not be tumble dried. Allowing the sweater to air dry naturally prevents the knit from becoming distorted and ensures the quarter-zip mechanism remains functional.
If ironing is required, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas. High heat can damage the synthetic components of the recycled polyester and may cause the embroidery threads to lose their sheen. Finally, do not dry clean this item, as the chemicals used in the process are unnecessary for this fabric blend and can reduce the lifespan of the garment.
