Product Overview
The Kustom Kit Women's Arundel sweater is a sophisticated addition to any professional wardrobe, designed specifically for those who require a smart, polished appearance throughout the working day. This long-sleeved garment is crafted with a fine-knit construction that balances elegance with the necessary durability for daily wear. Its classic fit ensures a comfortable yet tailored silhouette that complements various body types, making it a versatile choice for uniform programmes.
Key Features
- Fine-knit construction: The 12 gauge knit provides a smooth, professional finish that is substantial enough for warmth while remaining breathable for indoor environments.
- Reinforced back shoulder: Strategic reinforcement in the shoulder area prevents the garment from losing its shape or sagging, even after repeated wear and laundering.
- Fashioning marks: Detail marks at the neck, armholes, and sleeve heads indicate a high-quality manufacturing process, ensuring a superior fit and finish.
- 1x1 ribbed cuff and welt: These ribbed elements provide a secure fit at the wrists and waist, helping the sweater maintain its structure and preventing it from riding up during movement.
- Tubular linked neck: This construction method creates a seamless, neat neckline that sits flat against the body for a clean, modern look.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a balanced blend of 50% cotton and 50% acrylic, the Arundel sweater offers the best of both worlds. The cotton content provides natural breathability and a soft hand-feel against the skin, while the acrylic components ensure the garment retains its shape and deep colour over time. This blend is particularly effective at resisting the pilling and stretching often associated with pure wool garments.
The choice of a fine-knit gauge makes this sweater an excellent layering piece. It is thin enough to be worn under a blazer without adding unnecessary bulk, yet dense enough to provide a professional level of opacity and warmth. The reinforced shoulders are a subtle but vital technical detail, ensuring that the sweater can withstand the rigours of a busy office or hospitality environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This knitted jumper is an excellent candidate for customisation, particularly for businesses looking to enhance their corporate identity. Embroidery is the recommended choice for this specific fabric; our high-precision machines can apply detailed logos or staff names directly onto the knit, providing a long-lasting and elevated professional appearance. The stability of the cotton-acrylic blend ensures the embroidery sits flat without pulling the surrounding fabric.
For organisations requiring larger, more vibrant branding, modern print techniques can also be applied. Whether you choose embroidery for a subtle executive look or print for high-impact visibility, our expert in-house team in Telford—who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976—will ensure your branding is executed to the highest standard.
Use Cases
The Arundel sweater is ideally suited for front-of-house roles, corporate office environments, and the hospitality sector. Its blend of comfort and formality makes it a preferred choice for receptionists, sales teams, and management staff who need to move seamlessly between client meetings and operational tasks.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this sweater is designed with a classic fit. We recommend referring to the size range of 6 to 20 to ensure the best possible silhouette. For a more formal look, this sweater layers perfectly over a collared blouse; the tubular linked neck is specifically designed to accommodate a collar without bunching.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your Arundel sweater, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided. Proper maintenance will ensure the fibres remain resilient and your custom branding stays intact.
We recommend a machine wash at 40°C using a gentle cycle. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime while protecting the integrity of the cotton and acrylic blend. Higher temperatures may lead to unwanted shrinkage or distortion of the knit.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Harsh chemical bleaches will degrade the synthetic fibres and cause the cotton to lose its natural softness, eventually leading to a weakened fabric structure and faded colours.
It is vital that this sweater is not tumble dried. The intense heat of a dryer can cause the knit to contract unevenly, ruining the classic fit. Instead, reshape the garment while damp and dry it flat to maintain its original proportions.
If ironing is required, use a low heat setting (one dot). High heat can melt the acrylic fibres, resulting in a permanent 'shiny' mark on the fabric surface. A cool iron will safely remove creases without damaging the delicate knit.
