Why College Theory

Not Just Merch. A Sweater Worth Keeping.

  • Fully fashioned construction: Shaped panels, not cut-and-sewn, so each sweater holds its shape wash after wash.

  • Premium yarns: 100% cotton and soft lambswool, chosen to be worn for years.

  • Traditional style: Cricket stripes, varsity cardigans and intarsia crests that never go out of fashion.

  • Personal service: You work directly with our team from first sketch to delivery.                                                                                               

FAQ

​

What's the difference between a custom order and a wholesale order?

 

Wholesale orders are bulk purchases of our existing collegiate styles. Custom orders are knit to your group's own design, colors, or crest. For wholesale, see our Product Details page.

​

Can I mix sizes?

​

Yes. We'll send a size chart, and you can submit a size breakdown before production.

​

Will I see the design before you knit it?

 

Always. You'll approve a digital mockup, and larger orders receive a knit sample first.
