Dear all,
Does anyone know where you can go for custom cycle jerseys for a new team of cyclists?

Also if anybody knows who might be nice enough to do a smaller than 15 jersys run for us to keep costs down as we are doing this for a charity.

Any ideas,

Cheers,

Ben :D

    I know of IMP Sport.

    http://www.impsport.com/

    Saw an advert for them somewhere, I've never used them before so dont know anything about cost, but do know that they do custom kit.

    Hope this helps.

    There must also be a few others out there that I dont know of.

    We shall wait for more recommendations.

    Impsport are pretty good - not sure about min order but expect to pay around £40+vat (yep, not cheap :shock:) for a s/s jersey depending on how many colours etc you want - quantity discounts are available, but doesn't sound like you'll have a big enough order.

    There is also Provision (run by Steve "Pocket Rocket" Joughin for those of you with a good memory), but we found them very slow (3-6 months) on our last club order - http://www.provisionclothing.co.uk/

    Endura - TAL will do a run of less than 15 items but will add a surcharge to the order, which will increase the cost. WHich added to the one-off initial charges would most likely price them out of your market.

    The best quality I have found are Vermarc (via Interbike in the UK – http://www.interbike.co.uk/html/vermarc.html – but they aren't the cheapest of course).

    Whoever you choose, you will pay an initial setting up cost (for design transfers) and subsequently pay for quantities of jerseys, shorts, socks or whatever.

    Now is the time to get orders in for next year; if you wait until autumn or winter every other club/team will be in the queue waiting for their stuff to arrive.

    Some companies offer a cheaper ‘semi-customized’ option of putting your logo into a pre-designed template; Both Sportful and Vermarc can do this and have a range of designs/colours.

    I'd keep it Scottish and go for Endura.

    you could also try the maker of the ardbeg jerseys - http://www.thecyclejersey.com - since what you're looking for is why brian gibb set the company up in the first place

    just a thought

    Got to give Charlie Cutler a shout at fernando Carvalho. He does our Veloventoux racing kit. Very very quick turnaround, great quality, min order 10.
    I found him to be around 30% cheaper than most UK suppliers.
