Sports Style Promotional Jackets

You only have to look at some old films from the 30’s and 40’s to see just what sort of jackets were available on the market in those days. The fact is that apart from Trench coats and very heavy woollen overcoats there is very little to choose from. My oh my how things have changed as you now have literally thousands of different styles to choose from as well as a massive range of fabrics.

The promotional clothing market has exploded over the past 20 years with all sorts of companies and organisations realising what a great opportunity promotional textiles offer in order to get a brand or promotional message out onto the street. If you asked someone to walk around carrying an advert for a product all day they would expect to get paid for it however the very same people are more than happy to go out carrying adverts for free. Everything from drinks like Coca Cola to trainers like Nike are seen advertised across a wide range of promotional textiles form printed T-shirts to embroidered baseball caps and from printed sweatshirts to printed hoodies.#

Sports style  promotional jackets are every popular because many people wear them as a fashion statement rather than to play any sport in them. In fact it is funny really when you consider that promotional jogging pants were designed for sportsmen and women and yet they are more often than to seen being worn by people who can hardly get out of a chair let alone do anything more sporty than play a game of dominoes.

Manufacturers such as Slazenger have produced a great range of sporting promotional textiles and sports jackets are included in that. One of their best sellers is their 3 in 1 jacket which is available in three colours and has an outer jacket, a fleece and lightweight jacket. Other brands such as Best in Town offer some super value promotional jackets in a wide range of colours and styles.

How you brand any pieces of promotional textile sis really important and without any shadow of a doubt the best way to do that is to embroider them. This is also extremely cost effective especially if you are ordering smaller quantities  and have a number of colours in your logo. The reason for this is that with screen printing you have to pay an origination charge of £37.50 for each colour so if you order say 20 jackets with a 5 colour print the origination costs would be £187.50 whereas you can have up to 12 colours embroidered for a total of just £65.00
