Custom Sports Jackets for Men: Design, Fabric & Manufacturing Guide
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
Polyester & Performance Fabrics

• Best for activewear and outdoor sports jackets
Wool Blends
• Structured and premium

Fabric Weight & Seasonality

At Artisan Casual, we help brands select fabrics based on target market, climate, and price positioning.
