New knitwear has panache

Knitwear’s popularity received a huge boost with the arrival this year of the Kariban knitted collection. Full of Continental chic, styles for the ladies include KB921 Curves Ladies Jumper and KB922 Marie Ladies Zip Jumper.

Equally sophisticated are the men’s designs, with popular choices including Kariban’s KB931 Jason Zip Neck Sweater and KB933 Massimo Baseball Sweater. They all lend themselves to those occasions where clothing needs to be classy yet casual, such as race days and other relaxed corporate events.

Soft and fine fleece

Fleece is another excellent choice on these occasions, particularly those held outdoors into the evening. Micro fleece styles, in particular, are increasingly popular for cosy yet smart wear. They have a leaner look that is altogether shapelier, they are less bulky to pack or store, yet micro fleece can be just as warm as many of the more traditional fleece fabrics.

Henbury, another of the top quality brands stocked by PenCarrie, have introduced several micro fleece designs for 2005. To highlight just two of these : the H851 Ladies Micro Fleece Jacket is a fashionably shorter fitted style with shaped side seams and gently curved hem; while HenburyÕs H853 Cargo Zip Neck Micro Fleece is made distinctive by its cargo style pockets on the left sleeve.

A super unisex garment and a perfect promotional choice, the H853 comes in a wide range of sizes from XS to fit chest 34Ó up to XXL/chest 48’.

Easy earners

Suprafleece is the brainchild of Beechfield, a chill-combating pill-resistant 280gsm 100% polyester fabric that is used for all their fleece products and which has proved a huge success. Encourage your customers to create their own set of Beechfield’s comforting accessories (all of which are so easy to decorate) to give away or to sell at outdoor promotions.

Start with Beechfield’s BB291 Suprafleece Dolomite Scarf; add their BB296 Suprafleece Alpine Gloves; and perhaps the BB244 Suprafleece Summit Hat or BB241 Suprafleece Headband.

There’s a great choice of colours including soft shades such as airforce blue and lavender. Gloves come in three easy-to-judge sizes (S, M/L, and XL); and for everything else, one size fits all.
