Product Overview

The Kustom Kit Women's Arundel crew neck cardigan is a masterclass in professional knitwear, blending timeless style with modern performance. Designed with a classic fit that accommodates various body types, this long-sleeved garment is a staple for any corporate or hospitality wardrobe. The inclusion of button cuffs provides a sophisticated detail that distinguishes it from standard knitwear, ensuring your team presents a polished and unified image.

Key Features

• Fashioned armholes and sleeveheads: These provide a tailored fit that follows the natural contours of the body, preventing the garment from bunching under outerwear.
• Tubular linked stole and neck trim: A high-quality construction technique that ensures the neckline remains flat and retains its shape after repeated wear.
• Eight-button stole: Offers a structured front closure that maintains a professional appearance throughout the working day.
• Mock placket on cuffs: Decorative button detailing on the sleeves adds a layer of sophistication usually reserved for high-end retail garments.
• Reinforced shoulder seams: Vital for longevity, these seams prevent the cardigan from stretching out of shape when hung or worn frequently.

Design & Performance

This cardigan is manufactured from a fine-knit 12-gauge fabric, which provides a smooth, elegant surface that is soft to the touch. The 50% cotton and 50% acrylic blend is a deliberate choice for the working professional; the cotton offers natural breathability and comfort, while the acrylic provides essential durability and colour retention. This ensures the garment remains vibrant and resists pilling even in high-use environments.

The technical construction is evident in the cup-seamed underarms and side seams, which provide a cleaner internal finish and greater structural integrity. The 1x1 rib cuffs and welt ensure the garment stays in place, providing a neat silhouette that works effectively when layered over shirts or blouses.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

The stable, fine-knit surface of the Arundel cardigan makes it an exceptional candidate for customisation. For those seeking a truly professional and traditional look, we recommend embroidery. The fabric density supports intricate logos and text, allowing your branding to stand out with a premium, tactile finish.

Alternatively, the smooth finish allows for crisp print applications, which are ideal for larger branding requirements or bold promotional designs. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976 to ensure your workwear is of the highest standard.

Use Cases

This cardigan is an ideal choice for front-of-house staff, corporate office environments, and the education sector. Its refined appearance makes it suitable for formal settings, while the durable fabric blend ensures it can handle the demands of active roles in retail or hospitality.

Practical Advice

As a classic fit garment, this cardigan offers a generous and comfortable silhouette. If you are between sizes or prefer a more fitted look, you may wish to refer closely to the size guide. Given its fine-knit nature, it layers exceptionally well over light shirts without restrictive bulk.

Caring for your product

To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your cardigan, it should be machine washed at 40°C using a mild cycle. This temperature is sufficient to remove everyday dirt while protecting the delicate balance of the cotton and acrylic fibres.

Do not use bleach, as this will aggressively break down the fibres and lead to significant fading of the fabric's colour. We also advise against dry cleaning, as the harsh chemicals involved can damage the knit's soft handle and finish.

Tumble drying should be avoided to prevent potential shrinkage and heat damage. Instead, reshape the garment while damp and allow it to dry naturally. When ironing, use a cool setting (one dot) to remove creases; excessive heat can cause the acrylic fibres to shine or melt, permanently damaging the garment's appearance.
