CLIFTON Regents Custom Knitted Quarter-Zip

The Regents Custom Knitted Quarter-Zip is a substantial piece of made-to-order knitwear for clubs, teams, universities, brands, and organizations that want something more refined than a sweatshirt. Knitted from heavyweight cotton in a traditional 5-gauge construction, it combines warmth, structure, and a distinctly classic appearance.

Every Regents is made from scratch, giving you control over the colors, stripes, collar, cuffs, waistband, embroidery, crests, and individual details.

Why Choose the Regents?

• Traditional knitted construction: The heavyweight 5-gauge knit gives the garment a substantial, crafted feel.
• Smart clubwear appearance: More polished than fleece and less formal than a blazer or jacket.
• Made from scratch: Choose the yarn colors, stripe placement, collar, cuffs, waistband, and branding.
• Built for longevity: Dense cotton knit holds its shape and is designed for repeated wear.
• Flexible branding options: Add embroidery, woven crests, jacquard details, names, or initials.
• Mixed sizing: Men’s and women’s sizes can be included within the same order.

Fabric and Feel

The Regents is made from Heavyweight 5-Gauge Cotton Knit, creating a dense, softly textured fabric with excellent structure.

The term 5-gauge refers to the thickness of the knit. A lower gauge uses thicker yarns and produces a chunkier, more substantial garment. The Regents therefore feels closer to traditional club knitwear than a fine-gauge office sweater.

It is warm and weighty without feeling rigid, with the natural breathability and softness of cotton.

Why Choose Heavyweight Knitwear?

Choose the Regents when you want a garment that feels established, traditional, and deliberately substantial.

The dense knit gives stripes, contrast panels, cuffs, and embroidered crests real visual presence. It works particularly well for alumni groups, sports clubs, rowing teams, universities, heritage brands, and organizations looking for knitwear that will be worn for years rather than one season.

Fit and Knitwear Options

The Regents is available in men’s and women’s sizing, with different sizes mixed within the same group order.

The fit is designed to sit comfortably over a shirt, polo, or T-shirt while retaining a clean shape through the shoulders and body.

Available garment options include:

• Quarter-zip neckline
• Stand collar
• Ribbed cuffs and waistband
• Custom stripe placement
• Contrast shoulder, chest, sleeve, or body panels
• Custom collar, cuff, and waistband colors
• Embroidered logos, crests, names, and initials
• Jacquard patterns and knitted details
• Custom neck labels and branding
• Mixed men’s and women’s sizing within the same order

Design It Into the Knit

The Regents can be kept restrained with solid colors and a small embroidered crest, or developed into a more distinctive piece using stripes, contrast panels, jacquard details, and bold club colors.

You can customize:

• Main yarn colors
• Chest, sleeve, shoulder, and waistband stripes
• Collar, cuff, and waistband combinations
• Contrast panels and color blocking
• Embroidered club crests and company logos
• Woven badges and patches
• Jacquard patterns and knitted branding
• Names, initials, and individual personalization
• Custom labels and internal finishing

Because the design is created through knitting, embroidery, and applied details, the Regents is better suited to structured patterns and classic branding than photographic or full-color all-over artwork.

Minimum Order and Group Sizing

The Regents has a minimum order of 100 pieces per design.

Within that order, sizes can be divided across men’s and women’s fits, making it suitable for clubs, schools, universities, businesses, and larger group programs.

Best Suited To

The Regents is particularly well suited to sports clubs, rowing teams, universities, alumni organizations, golf groups, schools, heritage brands, member clubs, staff programs, and organizations looking for traditional custom knitwear with a modern fit.
