An oversized crewneck depends entirely on the drop shoulder and the drape, because there is no hood to anchor the silhouette. Get the shoulder right and it hangs like a designer piece; get it wrong and it looks like a borrowed sweatshirt.
We manufacture oversized crewneck sweatshirts with a 6–10 cm shoulder drop, widened chest, extended sleeve for a stacked cuff and a deep rib hem, in 350–500 GSM fleece or French terry, on boxy or longline oversized blocks. As a custom oversized crewneck sweatshirt manufacturer, Mike Apparel runs 50-piece minimums, samples every style before bulk and turns production in 2–3 weeks, with your labels sewn in at the factory.
Fabrics we run for crewnecks
We hold these fabrics for crewnecks and knit or weave others to spec. Each has a different hand, drape and shrink profile, and the sample stage exists so you can feel the difference before committing 50 pieces to it. For the oversized crewneck sweatshirt most brands start with 400 GSM brushed fleece and step up to 350 GSM brushed fleece when they want lighter oversized.
| Fabric | Specification | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 400 GSM brushed fleece | 100% cotton | oversized crewneck standard |
| 350 GSM brushed fleece | 80/20 | lighter oversized |
| 450 GSM heavyweight fleece | 100% cotton | heavy oversized |
| 380 GSM French terry | 100% cotton | oversized terry crewneck |

Decoration options for crewnecks

- Large centre-chest embroidery
- Oversized back prints
- Sleeve hits
- Washes and garment dye
- Contrast collar rib

Your label on every crewneck
Every crewneck leaves the factory fully branded as your product: woven main label, woven or printed size and care labels, hem tags or hood labels, hang tags with your artwork, and packaging from plain poly bags to printed mailer boxes. Labels are produced in-house from your files. Details on our private label clothing page. A typical oversized crewneck sweatshirt run carries a woven main label, printed care label and hang tag; drop shoulder crewneck programmes often add a woven hem loop.
What a custom crewneck costs
Per-piece pricing for crewnecks at each quantity band. The low end is a simpler spec (lighter fabric, one embellishment); the high end is heavyweight fabric, multiple placements and full packaging. A detailed breakdown is on our how much does it cost to manufacture a hoodie?. A oversized crewneck sweatshirt specified in 400 GSM brushed fleece sits at the lower end of these bands; 350 GSM brushed fleece and heavy decoration push it toward $26.

|---|---|
| 50–100 pieces | $14.00 – $26 |
| 100–300 pieces | $12.32 – $23 |

Yes. The boxy-crop crewneck is a staple women’s and unisex block.
Which fabric hangs best oversized?
