Summary
This guide explains how custom sports jackets for men are designed and manufactured, covering fit, fabric selection, branding options, MOQ, and production timelines. Learn how Artisan Casual supports brands with premium materials, flexible customization, and reliable manufacturing for scalable jacket collections.
What Are Custom Sports Jackets for Men?
Custom sports jackets are jackets designed, produced, and branded specifically for your brand, rather than purchased as ready-made wholesale items. Customization allows brands to control:
• Fit and silhouette
• Fabric composition and weight
• Colorways and trims
• Branding placement (logo, labels, packaging)
For brands targeting men's sports jackets, customization is essential to stand out in a competitive market.
At Artisan Casual, we support full-package custom sports jacket manufacturing, from concept to bulk production.
Design Options for Custom Men's Sports Jackets
Design is the first step in creating a successful custom sports jacket. Key design elements include:
1. Fit & Silhouette
• Slim fit (modern, clean look)
• Regular fit (mass-market friendly)
• Oversized fit (streetwear & athleisure trends)
Choosing the right fit impacts not only style, but also fabric consumption and production cost.
2. Collar & Closure Styles
Popular options include:
• Stand collar
• Hooded design
• Full-zip or half-zip closures
• Button or snap closures
Each option influences usability, target audience, and perceived value.
3. Functional Details
• Zippered pockets
• Adjustable cuffs or hems
• Breathable panels
• Lining or mesh interiors
These details are especially important for performance-oriented sports jackets.
Fabric Selection: Choosing the Right Materials
Fabric choice is one of the most critical decisions in custom sports jacket manufacturing.
Common Fabric Options
Cotton & Cotton Blends
• Soft, breathable, casual
• Ideal for lifestyle and streetwear jackets

Wool Blends

Fabric Weight & Seasonality

At Artisan Casual, we help brands select fabrics based on target market, climate, and price positioning.
Branding & Private Label Options
Strong branding transforms a jacket from a product into a brand statement.
