Description
The Sportsman SP15 is the Pom-Pom 12 Inch Knit Beanie, a 100% acrylic knit beanie with a 3-inch fold-over cuff and a pom-pom top that gives a winter program a playful silhouette at the lowest unit cost in the Sportsman knit-beanie line. It is the cold-weather blank a shop reaches for when a holiday, ski or event program wants a pom beanie to embroider or patch at volume, the default for sports teams, school and winter merch, promotional product runs and decorators building a cold-weather line beside their cap program. The acrylic knit holds insulation while staying soft and stretchy, the one-size cuffed body fits most heads, the pom adds a retro winter look, and the double-layer fold-over cuff is the decoration zone every method targets.
The cuff, not the pom, decides the decoration on a beanie. Flat embroidery is the headline method, stitched directly into the fold-over cuff where the double layer gives a stable backing, and it is the default for a team or corporate logo on the SP15. A woven or embroidered patch sews to the cuff for a clean branded badge, and a leather or PU patch stitches to the cuff for a premium outdoor look; stitch the patch rather than relying on heat alone, since the acrylic knit stretches and a heat-set bond moves on a knit surface. A heat-transfer or DTF label presses onto the flat cuff for small lettering, kept modest so the design does not distort when the knit stretches over a head. The pom is a styling element, not a decoration surface, so keep all branding on the cuff. Three-dimensional puff embroidery does not apply, since the soft ribbed knit cuff has no firm buckram or foam panel to hold a raised foam stitch; route puff work to a structured foam-front cap. Screen printing does not apply either, since a ribbed stretch knit is not a flat printable panel. Sublimation does not apply, since this is an acrylic knit, not a polyester woven substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: confirm whether your colourway is a solid 100% acrylic, a single heather or a two-tone Dark Heather Gray combo before a repeat run, because the cuff colour and the thread or patch contrast drive the look more than the body or the pom. The SP15 sits in a Sportsman knit-beanie line that also runs a solid 12-inch cuffed cut and an 8-inch cut, so a program can match cuff and colour across beanie styles for a coordinated winter range. The double-layer fold-over cuff keeps the embroidery surface flat and consistent run to run. TheClothingSpace stocks the SP15 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.

| Woven / Embroidered Patch | ✓ | sews to the cuff for a clean branded badge that reads well across solid, heather and two-tone colours |
| Leather / PU Patch | ✓ | stitches to the cuff for a premium outdoor look; stitch the patch rather than relying on heat alone, since the acrylic knit stretches and a heat-set bond moves on a knit surface |

Fabric Blend by Color Group
Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.
| Color Group | Blend | Print Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Solid colours (Gold, Black, Navy, Forest, Red, Royal Blue, Neon Pink, Neon Green) | 100% acrylic | Run a contrast thread and patch, dark on light cuffs and light or metallic on dark cuffs, for a logo that reads on the fold-over cuff |
| Single heathers (Heather Gray and Light Heather Gray 62/38, Heather Charcoal 80/20, other heathers 50/50) | acrylic/polyester blend | A woven or embroidered patch reads cleanest over a heather cuff where direct embroidery can get lost in the melange |
| Two-tone Dark Heather Gray combos (with Black, Navy or Red) | 74/26 acrylic/polyester | Pull thread or patch ground from the contrast colour so the mark ties the two-tone cuff and body together |
