Textured black sweaters

I like to dress in monochrome or navies. But in cool weather, plain black sweaters can be a bit boring. So I think some texture for visual interest can make all the difference. I know that APC makes some interesting sweaters. But unless I am mistaken, they tend to be pretty relaxed fit, which on someone slim like me, imho, can border a bit on the feminine.

Can anyone recommend some sweater makers who might make particularly interesting sweaters in plain colors but with nice quality, materials, and details? I like Zanone, but would really prefer something more affordable. It sure would be nice if there was some kind of direct to consumer company for sweaters. I suppose that’s unlikely, but it certainly feels silly to pay 80% markup to resellers when you are buying online. Anyway, any advice on quality slim fitting sweaters would be greatly appreciated. I’ve attached a couple images of the general kind of thing I’m currently looking for.
