The Charcoal Quarter Zip Sweatshirt is a made-to-order sweatshirt built for labels and wholesale programmes across the USA, the UK, Germany, Canada and Australia. As a sweatshirt exporter and manufacturer in Bangladesh, we make this style from charcoal cotton-rich fleece with a metal quarter zip and a finish that holds its shape wear after wear. Buyers in France and Belgium also order this style for seasonal ranges and retail programmes.
It sits in our wider fleece range beside the forest green crest quarter zip, charcoal kangaroo pocket crewneck and heather grey crewneck. The full set of custom styles is listed on our products page, and each style is made to order with your labels, colours and branding.
Key points for this style:
- Silver metal quarter zip runs straight from collar to chest.
- Ribbed stand collar holds its shape open or closed.
- Garment washed charcoal fleece with a soft, lived-in feel.
- Full size range graded from your own size chart or tech pack.
- Made to order in Bangladesh with your private label, hang tags and packing.
Charcoal Quarter Zip Sweatshirt: Design and Construction Detail
The neckline is the signature: a ribbed stand collar with a short metal zip that opens for ventilation and closes up to a clean collar line. The zip is set into a reinforced placket so it runs straight down the centre front, and the collar ribbing is firm enough to stand without folding over.
The body keeps the sweatshirt basics right: set-in sleeves, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem that sits on the hip. Zip operation is checked piece by piece, and the collar is measured closed and open against the approved sample before packing.
Charcoal Quarter Zip Sweatshirt: Fabric, Fit and Comfort
The charcoal fleece is cotton-rich and garment washed, which gives the shade its soft, slightly lived-in depth and removes shrinkage before the garment reaches your customers. The inside face is brushed for warmth when the style is worn as a mid layer.
The fit is regular through the body with room to layer over a shirt or tee. Workwear, golf and casual labels all use this block, and the zip front makes it easy to wear across seasons without changing the pattern.
The quarter zip is the sweatshirt buyers choose when a range needs to look a step smarter than a crewneck. Closed up, the stand collar gives a neat neckline that works with a shirt collar underneath; opened, it reads as relaxed sportswear. That double life makes it a strong style for golf shops, workwear ranges and travel programmes where one garment has to cover several settings. Charcoal helps as well: it sits between black and grey, hides dust and light marks, and pairs with navy, khaki and denim without clashing. Buyers often run this style as the top layer of a uniform set with a polo shirt beneath it, using chest embroidery for the company mark. Because the zip is the working part of the garment, sampling pays attention to it: the placket is reinforced, the zip run is tested on every size, and the collar height is measured closed so the neckline your customers see in photographs is the neckline they receive in the carton. On repeat orders the approved zip, puller and collar measurements are held on file, so the garment your customers reorder is the garment they already know, with no drift in fit, shade or zip feel between one season and the next.

Pattern Making and Size Grading
Every Charcoal Quarter Zip Sweatshirt order starts from your approved pattern or tech pack. Our pattern team grades the block across the full size range, checking the collar fit, the shoulder line and the a metal quarter zip balance on each size, not only the sample size. A pre-production sample in the real charcoal cotton-rich fleece is measured against the size chart before bulk cutting begins.
Private Label and OEM Production
Private label production covers your own neck labels, care labels, hang tags and packaging. The Charcoal Quarter Zip Sweatshirt can carry your brand throughout, with label artwork approved on a sample before the bulk run. OEM buyers can also adjust the a metal quarter zip, the collar shape and the ribbing weight to match their house pattern.
Bulk Production and Quality Control
Bulk cutting and sewing run under in-line and end-line inspection. Each Charcoal Quarter Zip Sweatshirt is checked for collar symmetry, stitch density, ribbing recovery and shade consistency within the bundle. Faulty items are pulled at the table, and a final audit checks measurements, cleanliness and packing before cartons are sealed.
Fabric and GSM Options
The standard build uses charcoal cotton-rich fleece, and buyers can set the construction to suit the season: a lighter loopback for spring ranges, a warm brushed fleece for winter, and heavier weights where the sweatshirt works as an outer layer. Send your target hand feel and season, and we match the fabric and finish to it before sampling.
Print, Embroidery and Branding Methods
The plain fleece front stays ready for screen print, embroidery, applique and heat transfer work. Chest logos, sleeve artwork and back panels can be combined on one style, and every branding method is sampled on the real garment first so placement and size are approved before bulk. Private labels and woven hem tags finish the branded build.
Packing, Dispatch and Lead Times
Each Charcoal Quarter Zip Sweatshirt is folded and polybagged as standard, with ratio or solid packing to your instruction. Cartons are marked with style, colour and size breakdown for easy warehouse intake in France and Belgium. Dispatch runs by sea or air from Chattogram port, and lead time is confirmed in writing against your approved sample and order quantity.
Pricing and How to Get an Exact Quote
Pricing depends on the fabric, the a metal quarter zip construction and the branding you choose, so an exact quote needs your tech pack or a clear reference sample. Send the artwork, size range and colour list and we return a full cost breakdown with sampling and bulk prices. There are no hidden extras: the quoted price covers making, branding and standard packing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the metal zip be replaced with a plastic coil zip?
Yes. The placket accepts both metal and coil zips, and the puller style and finish can be matched to your range. We sample the chosen zip on the real garment so run smoothness and collar fit are approved before the bulk order is cut.
Does the stand collar keep its shape through the day?
Yes. The collar is cut from firm ribbing with elastic recovery, and it is shaped on the pattern rather than stretched into place. It stands cleanly when the zip is closed and lies flat when open, and wash tests check the collar height after laundering.
Can a chest logo be embroidered beside the zip?
Yes. A small logo sits well on the left chest beside the placket. Placement is set clear of the zip stitching on the approved sample, and embroidery or print can be used. Larger artwork can go on the back panel if your design needs more room.
Is the charcoal shade colourfast in washing?
Yes. The garment wash is done under controlled conditions and colourfastness is tested before dispatch. Charcoal holds its depth well, and each bulk run is shade checked against the approved standard under the same light before cartons are sealed.
