Product Overview
The Stanley/Stella Knoxer is a premium, unisex crew neck sweatshirt that draws heavy inspiration from heritage American sportswear. It is a substantial, heavyweight garment designed for those who require both durability and a high-end aesthetic in their workwear. Crafted from 100% organic combed ringspun cotton, this sweatshirt offers a superior hand-feel and a relaxed fit that balances professional appearance with day-to-day comfort.
Key Features
- Raglan Sleeves: These provide a wider underarm area, allowing for a greater range of movement and a more natural fit across the shoulders.
- 1x1 Ribbed Detailing: Found at the collar, sleeve cuffs, and bottom hem, these ribs ensure the garment retains its shape over time and prevents stretching at the openings.
- V-Notch and Side Panels: These traditional design elements not only enhance the classic sportswear look but also provide extra structural integrity and flexibility.
- Herringbone Neck Tape: The inside back neck is finished with herringbone tape to prevent irritation and ensure the collar remains stable through repeated wear.
- Advanced Stitching: Features a combination of two-needle topstitches and three-needle flatlock stitches, reinforcing the raglan seams and side panels for long-term durability.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a dense, heavyweight fabric, the Knoxer is designed to withstand the rigours of a busy working environment while maintaining the softness associated with organic combed cotton. The use of ringspun cotton means the fibres are twisted and thinned, resulting in a stronger, smoother yarn that provides an excellent surface for customisation.
The garment is further enhanced by a self-fabric half moon at the back neck, which adds a layer of refinement and serves as an ideal location for internal branding. With accreditations from the Fair Wear Foundation and GOTS, this sweatshirt is as ethically sound as it is physically robust.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Knoxer is an exceptional canvas for both print and embroidery. Given its substantial weight and smooth cotton surface, it handles high-density embroidery exceptionally well, providing a stable base for detailed company logos or employee names for a professional finish.
For those requiring larger, more vibrant designs, the fabric's consistency allows for excellent printability. Whether you choose screen printing or digital methods, the organic cotton ensures the ink adheres well and remains sharp. All customisation is managed by our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is ideally suited for creative agencies, high-end retail environments, and premium hospitality staff who need a uniform that reflects their brand's quality. It is also a popular choice for event merchandise and staff leisurewear due to its relaxed, contemporary fit.

Practical Advice
The Knoxer features a relaxed fit, so we recommend reviewing our sizing guide to ensure the best match for your team. It is available in a broad range from XXS to 3XL, making it a versatile choice for a diverse workforce. As a heavyweight garment, it works perfectly as a standalone outer layer in milder weather or as a warm mid-layer beneath a technical jacket.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour density of your sweatshirt, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can lead to premature wear of the organic fibres and may affect the longevity of your custom branding.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric strength and cause significant discolouration. When ironing, use a maximum temperature of 110°C and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent damage to the design.
We advise against tumble drying or dry cleaning. Allowing the garment to air dry naturally will help maintain its shape and ensure that the flatlock stitching remains intact for the life of the product.
