Product Overview
The Kustom Kit Regular Fit Arundel crew neck sweater is a sophisticated staple for the modern professional wardrobe. Engineered with a 12-gauge knit, this garment strikes the perfect balance between a refined aesthetic and functional warmth. The blend of cotton and acrylic ensures a soft, comfortable handle against the skin while providing the resilience required for daily wear. Its classic crew neck design is thoughtfully proportioned to be worn comfortably over a collared shirt or as a standalone piece, making it a versatile addition to any corporate or trade uniform.
Key Features
- 1x1 Ribbed Crew Neck, Cuffs, and Welt: These ribbed components are designed to provide superior shape retention, ensuring the sweater maintains its professional silhouette even after a long shift.
- Technical Fashioning Marks: Located at the front neck, sleeve head, and armholes, these marks are a sign of high-quality knitwear construction, providing a better fit and increased durability at key stress points.
- Cotton-Acrylic Blend: The 50/50 composition offers the breathable comfort of natural cotton combined with the hard-wearing, easy-care properties of acrylic.
- Woven Back Neck Label: A discreet Kustom Kit label provides a clean internal finish, reducing irritation during extended periods of wear.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight knitted jumper is built for longevity. The 12-gauge construction provides a smooth, dense surface that is resistant to pilling, ensuring your team remains looking sharp over time. By incorporating fashioning marks during the knitting process, Kustom Kit ensures that the garment is shaped to the body rather than just cut and sewn, which significantly improves the drape and comfort of the sweater.
The choice of a 50% cotton and 50% acrylic fabric is a deliberate technical decision. Cotton offers essential breathability for indoor environments, while the acrylic component ensures the garment holds its colour and dries quickly, making it a highly practical choice for busy work schedules.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Arundel sweater is an ideal canvas for customisation, helping to reinforce your company’s brand identity. For a garment of this quality, we highly recommend embroidery. Our expert team in Telford, established in 1976, uses high-precision machinery to stitch logos directly into the knit, resulting in a premium, textured finish that is both durable and professional.
While embroidery is the preferred choice for knitwear, we can also apply high-quality prints for larger, bold branding requirements. Whether you are looking for a subtle chest logo or a more prominent design, our in-house specialists ensure the customisation process respects the integrity of the 12-gauge knit for a superior final appearance.
Use Cases
This crew neck sweater is perfectly suited for customer-facing roles, management positions, and the hospitality sector. Its clean, professional lines make it an excellent choice for office environments where a smart-casual dress code is required. It is also a popular choice for delivery drivers and technical staff who need an extra layer of warmth that still looks professional when meeting clients.

Practical Advice
The Arundel is designed with a regular fit, offering ample room for a shirt to be worn underneath without restricted movement. We recommend checking our size guide, which ranges from XS to 3XL, to ensure the best fit for your team. For a more modern, slim-line look, some users may prefer to size down, but the natural stretch of the knit typically accommodates most body types comfortably.
Caring for your product
To ensure your sweater remains in peak condition and your custom branding stays vibrant, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's care instructions carefully.
We recommend a machine wash on a synthetic cycle at 40°C. This temperature is effective for removing dirt while being gentle enough to prevent the acrylic fibres from losing their elasticity. Avoid the use of bleach, as this will weaken the fabric fibres and cause significant discolouration, particularly to any embroidered logos.
Do not tumble dry this garment; high heat can cause the knit to shrink and distort the shape of the ribbed cuffs and welt. Instead, we advise reshaping the sweater while damp and drying it flat. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting (one dot) to avoid heat damage to the synthetic fibres. This garment is not suitable for dry cleaning, as the chemicals used can be too abrasive for the cotton-acrylic blend.
