Custom Apparel company recommendation

[cral12]

Hey all,

Any experiences with custom apparel?

Mostly would likely be looking at:
- hats/caps (performance/sport option would be nice)
- polo shirt
- jacket

Thanks

Low quantity at this point

- with a logo

**Mods - could move this to "Off Topic" as that was where I meant to post**

If your quantities are low be prepared for a high cost per piece especially setting up a new logo.
If you are looking at embroidery, you will need to convert your artwork to an embroidery file which is called digitizing. Depending on the stitch count this could be $30-$100. Most left chest sized design should be in the 30-50 dollar range.
Remember the maximum height to go on a finished cap is about 2.25".

Per piece cost to embroider will be based on quantity and stitch count.

Screenprinting is priced mostly by the amount of colours in your logo.

It will be best to call around as the prices will vary greatly because the big guys generally charge a lot more to do small orders because of the P.I.T.A. factor. Some companies are better suited for that type of order and charge a more reasonable price.

I had a small number of customized tshirts made for a friend's stag recently.

Wordans.ca were fantastic to deal with. They have a number of products that you can preview to see how your graphics look prior to ordering. I thought it was cool that the pricing will update as you make changes. They've got quite a number of fabrics to choose from but I think they may only do screens, not embroidery.

<Sorry just read that you want to do jackets as well, Wordan's probably won't be the best solution for you>

If you don't get anywhere on the embroidery side (assuming you will be looking to do some) try mapleleafembroidery.ca

If you are looking to get silk screening, a very high quality, fast turn around, and great pricing is Robot Spider in Okotoks. He does small quantity orders as well without charging extra for it.
