Product Overview
This long sleeveless hoodie cardigan is far more than a standard vest. The Double-Face construction creates a garment that carries the weight and drape of a coat with the breathability of knitwear. The open-front design makes it the perfect transitional layering piece for spring, autumn, and mild winter days. This is an essential hero piece for contemporary womenswear labels, luxury boutiques, and premium DTC brands seeking to offer something truly sophisticated.

What Is Double-Face Knitting? (A Key Differentiator)
Double-Face knitwear is one of the most technically demanding techniques in the industry — and one of our core specializations at WFS Cashmere:
Two Clean Faces: Unlike standard knits that have a visible "wrong side" with yarn floats, Double-Face fabric is finished on both sides. This means the lining of the garment is as refined and beautiful as the exterior.
Superior Structure & Weight: Because the fabric is essentially two layers of knit fused together, it is denser, more structured, and provides better shape retention than single-face alternatives.
No Seam Finishing Required: The clean, self-finished edges allow for minimalist, couture-style construction with fewer internal seams, making for a truly luxurious product.
Reversible Option: Depending on your design brief, Double-Face garments can be made fully reversible — a unique and compelling selling point for premium consumers.
Advanced OEM Capabilities
Complex Technique Execution: Double-Face knitwear requires advanced machinery and highly skilled technicians. Our experienced team produces these technically demanding pieces with precision and consistency at scale.
Custom Drawstring & Hardware: The hoodie drawstring can be customized in knitted cashmere cord, grosgrain ribbon, waxed cotton, or leather depending on your brand aesthetic.
Turnkey Branding: We provide fully custom woven brand labels, organic hang tags, and premium retail packaging.
Frequently Asked Questions (OEM/B2B FAQ)
Q1: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for Double-Face knitwear?
A: Our standard MOQ is 100 pieces per style/color. Despite the technical complexity of Double-Face knitting, we maintain the same low MOQ to support brands of all sizes.
Q2: Can this cardigan be made fully reversible?
A: Yes. We can engineer the two fabric faces in contrasting colors or textures, making the garment fully reversible. This is a great premium retail feature and a compelling story for your consumers.
Q3: Can we change the silhouette to add sleeves?
A: Absolutely. Our OEM service is fully flexible. You can add long sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, or modify the cardigan into a full zip-up coat using the same Double-Face construction.
Q4: What makes Double-Face knitwear more expensive than regular knitwear?
A: Double-Face knitwear uses approximately twice the amount of yarn as a single-face knit of the same gauge. It also requires more specialized machinery settings and a higher level of technical skill to produce. The result is a garment that justifies a significantly higher retail price point.
