Product Overview
A longline vest (or sleeveless tunic) is a highly versatile, high-margin asset for premium boutiques. It offers the warmth and luxurious texture of a cashmere sweater without the bulk of sleeves, making it the perfect piece for professional office settings or elegant weekend wear.

Manufacturing Excellence: Mastering the Longline Silhouette
Knitting an elongated garment without sleeves requires precise architectural control to prevent the fabric from looking like a shapeless sack:
Engineered Drape & Side Slits: We often incorporate deep, fully fashioned side slits at the hem. This not only enhances the garment's movement but prevents the long knit from bunching up around the hips when the wearer is seated.
Flawless Armhole Finishing: The armholes are finished with fine, seamless tubular casting or micro-ribbing. This ensures they lie perfectly flat against the body or the shirt worn underneath, preventing any unsightly gaping.
High-Recovery Hemming: Because of the extended length, the bottom hem carries more weight. We calibrate the knitting tension at the hem to ensure it maintains its shape and does not stretch out or "bell" over time.
Advanced OEM Customization
Belted Options: We can knit a matching cashmere tie-belt to cinch the waist, instantly transforming the vest into an elegant wrap silhouette.
Pocket Integration: Seamlessly integrate subtle front patch pockets or hidden side-seam pockets for added functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions (OEM/B2B FAQ)
Q1: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for this longline vest?
A: Our standard MOQ is 100 pieces per style/colorway.
Q2: Since it is a long garment, will it pill easily where it rubs against trousers?
A: We utilize high-quality, long-fiber cashmere and employ a specialized washing process that locks the fibers, drastically reducing the risk of friction pilling compared to standard knitwear.
Q3: Can we make this in a chunky, heavy knit?
A: Absolutely. While 12GG provides a sleek, fluid drape, we can reprogram this design for a 7GG or 5GG machine to create a chunky, oversized "Grandpa" vest, which is currently a massive trend in streetwear and luxury fashion.
Q4: How long does sample production take?
A: Utilizing our core stock colors, custom sampling for this extended silhouette typically takes 7-10 days once the length and slit dimensions are confirmed.
