Quarter zip sweatshirt: development brief
Develop a quarter zip sweatshirt with a cream body, standing collar and a short front zipper. The references show relaxed long sleeves, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed lower band. A small navy palm motif sits on the chest, while multicolored lettering creates a separate graphic feature across the back.
Use the collar height, zipper opening and front-to-back artwork balance to define your own version. This silhouette has no hood. The images do not verify cotton content, fabric weight, fleece structure or the decoration method; approve these choices through sourcing and sampling.
Confirm the final composition, weight, measurements and production methods through an approved specification and physical sample. Use original or authorized artwork for your own collection.

Quarter zip sweatshirt: buyer questions
Does this quarter zip sweatshirt have a hood?
No hood is shown. The reference has a standing collar and short front zipper. Specify a hooded version separately if required, as that changes the pattern, neckline and sample scope.
Can the collar height and zip opening be changed?
Provide finished collar height, opening length and neckline measurements. Approve the facing, zip puller and neck-contact areas with the collar both open and closed, including comfort over your intended base layer.
Can our own palm motif and back lettering be used?
Send original or licensed artwork with dimensions, colors and placement. Choose printing or embroidery through feasibility review. For embroidery, approve backing, stitch density and the reverse side against the skin to avoid an unnecessarily stiff or scratchy finish.
Is the cream fabric cotton fleece, and will it be opaque?
The photos do not confirm composition, fleece structure or weight. Compare sourced swatches and check opacity, hand feel and layering on the actual sample before approving the fabric.
What should be checked after washing?
Agree a care procedure and review body shrinkage, collar shape, zip operation, rib recovery and artwork appearance. Inspect puckering around embroidery or lettering and confirm care instructions for the approved materials and decoration.
What determines MOQ, cost and lead time?
Fabric sourcing, cream or custom color quantities, zipper choice, artwork setup, embroidery or print complexity, size breakdown and packing affect the quote. Confirm sample scope and the bulk schedule for your project.
