Crewneck

The crew neck collars were created to better absorb sweat for a purely sporting purpose. Next we will review its different uses and its history.

There are nonetheless certain garments capable of appealing to a wide range of consumers. One example can be seen in our extensive line of crewneck shirts, sweaters, and hoodies.

Why not delve a bit deeper into this category? What does this style actually entail? Are there any differences between different garment configurations? Do these products offer a unisex appeal? Can you make a selection based on personal requirements? These and similar questions will be addressed in detail immediately below.

Where did this type of shirt originate?

Readers might be surprised to learn that unlike other designs (such as raglan shirts), crewnecks did not appear until the latter half of the 1930s. As the name already suggests, they were primarily worn by boat rowing crews at the time. These individuals felt that a form-fitting shirt that was capable of remaining comfortable during periods of exercise would help to enhance their performance. It did not take long before this preference was introduced to the general public.

Crew neck sweaters and shirts are primarily defined by a symmetrical neckline that gently encompasses the base of the wearer's neck. This is essentially the only main differentiation between such a style and other popular configurations. However, there is still much more than may initially meet the eye. It pays to dig slightly deeper.

Visual appeal

The relatively simplistic design of modern crew neck sweatshirts, hoodies, and t-shirts makes them a perennial favorite with customers from all walks of life. This very same generic appeal has allowed them to be extremely popular within the wholesale community. Still, there is much to be said about the elegant flavor that they are capable of displaying.

One of the reasons why many men prefer crew-neck garments once again involves the neckline. As it is positioned relatively high, shirts will boast a clean and classic appeal that is suitable for a variety of different body types. The same can be said when discussing versatility.

Crew-neck shirts may be easily paired with other garments such as long-sleeve button-down shirts, and even suit jackets. Crew neck designs have been used in numerous films to dress the main characters and have been very successful.

Taking comfort into account

While there is no doubt that style is important, this attribute would be nothing if the garment in question was extremely uncomfortable to wear. Crew-neck garments do not suffer from this fault.

For instance, the tee Jays rubber interlock sweater offered by Wordans is primarily made of ring-spun cotton, and equipped with Elastane ribs. This signifies that users will remain comfortable thanks in large part to such form-fitting attributes.

Classic solutions for modern times

Another completely relevant variable involves the timeless appeal of these shirts and sweaters. We are all aware that fashion can be fickle on occasion.

Trends seem to come and go in the blink of an eye, leaving the wearer confused, and even slightly frustrated. Wordans appreciate that this is a very real concern for those who wish to purchase a series of shirts in bulk to meet their B2B or B2C wholesale needs.

Thankfully, this type of neckline has been a perennial favorite for decades, due in large part to its relatively simple nature. Users can therefore remain confident that these hoodies, sweatshirts, and t-shirts will not suddenly lose their appeal when the latest fashion trends come into focus. In other words, they represent an excellent long-term return on investment.

Crew neck for men only?

This point should also be addressed before moving on. Some online articles claim that crew neck hoodies and t-shirts are the epitome of conservative male fashion. While this is indeed true to an extent, we need to remember that the lines of gender-based fashion have become blurred in these modern times.

Women can enjoy the very same benefits outlined above, providing them with clever and cost-effective ways to improve their existing wardrobes. In fact, it is even possible to purchase these garments for children.

All about balance

Speaking of body type, were you aware that crew neck sweaters and hoodies are also quite flattering? Why is this the case? Industry experts tend to note that the high collars tend to place a greater emphasis upon the neck and shoulders.

This will ultimately provide a more visually balanced appeal, particularly for individuals who may feel that they suffer from a long neck or narrow shoulders.

For business, pleasure, and everything in between

Have you been searching for an all-around shirt to provide to an adult softball team? Might you instead require a sweater that is suitable for a wide range of body types? If so, the one-size-fits-all nature of these garments is a final benefit that can never be overlooked.

Whether worn during a casual day at the office, when enjoying a picnic with the family, or simply used when lounging around the house, these shirts and sweaters aim to please.

We also need to stress that these very same attributes are entirely relevant within the wholesale distribution community. It is possible to select from a kaleidoscope of different styles, configurations and brands when working in tandem with the professionals at Wordans. As our shirts are always offered at industry-leading price points, accommodating unique budgetary requirements is never a concern.

Putting it all together

We will now wrap things up by addressing a handful of common questions. This will allow you to further appreciate the variety of options that can only be found at Wordans.

Will the neck of these shirts feel too tight?

While the intention is to provide a form-fitting solution, the elastic nature of these hems should not feel uncomfortable. If you are still concerned, it is always possible to purchase a larger size.

What materials are commonly used?

Some of the most popular materials include nylon, cotton, and polyester (as well as blends of each). This results in a delicate balance between durability, comfort, and moisture-wicking properties.

Can I add a logo to these shirts?
