Hi all — looking to commission a classic men's crew neck sweatshirt in a specific technical fabric. Ideally looking for a US-based maker who can source the fabric domestically.

What I'm after: A relaxed-fit men's crew neck sweatshirt replicating the Swrve _BLK Polartec Heritage Fleece Pullover (2016) — a limited run piece that's long discontinued. Reference photos and review here: https://www.lifeinthesaddle.cc/2016/10/review-swrve-blk-polartec-heritage.html

Classic athletic sweatshirt silhouette — set-in sleeves, V-insert at the neck, ribbed cuffs, collar and hem. No hood, no zip, no pockets.

Fabric: Seal Gray Polartec Thermal Pro Pique Textured Sweater Fleece from Surge Fabric Shop (surgefabricshop.com). Pique texture on the outside, soft sherpa fleece on the inside. 310gsm, 100% polyester, 66/68" wide, 25% horizontal stretch, 0% vertical. $19.99/yard.

Pattern: Happy for the maker to select whichever men's crew neck pattern they feel is best suited to this fabric and silhouette, based on the reference images above.

Location: I'm based in London, UK — happy to cover international shipping from the US.

Budget: Open to reasonable quotes for a single garment commission in technical fleece.

Please DM with any questions or to discuss. Thanks.
