Clothing and hats
Custom merch
Custom merch is clothing and hats with your logo on them. A typical order is a tee, a polo, a hoodie, a cap, or a mix of those with the same logo. Start in apparel. If you want something else, get in touch.

Key takeaways
- A merch set is usually a tee, a polo, a hoodie, a cap, or a mix.
- If the same logo goes on more than one garment, a stitched logo (embroidery) is the usual way to keep them matching. Print suits a photo or a large back design.
- We need a size list for each garment, plus a few extras. One list for the tees and another for the hoodies.
- High-visibility shirts for a worksite are on custom workwear. Bottles and bags can go in the same shipment from accessories.
Putting a set together
Start with who will wear it. That decides the garment and where the logo sits.
Staff
A polo with a small logo on the left chest is the usual staff shirt. Add a cap if you want the same logo on the head. For a front-of-house look, an oxford or denim shirt is in the same tees and shirts range.
Events, clubs, and shirts you sell
A t-shirt can take a large front or back print people can read from a few metres away. Add a hoodie if they will still be wearing it when it is cold. A bucket hat or 5-panel cap finishes the set.
A mixed order
You can mix garments in one order. We often start with a premium cotton t-shirt and a cap. Add socks or a bottle if you want something they take home as well. If you have another product in mind, get in touch.
Print or a stitched logo
This matters most when the same logo goes on more than one piece. Pick one method for the matching set, or say if the back of the tee is a different design.
| Stitched logo (embroidery) | ||
|---|---|---|
| How it looks | Ink on the fabric. Good for a picture, a large back print, or lots of colours. | Thread sewn into the fabric. A small chest logo that matches across a polo, a hoodie, and a cap. |
| What to send | A clear, high-resolution image. On a dark shirt the design needs to stand out. | A logo file from design software (.ai, .eps, or .svg). Very thin lines are hard to stitch. |
| Where it usually sits | Front, back, or both. Say which. A big back print is a tee job more than a polo job. | Left chest on shirts and hoodies. Front of the cap. A sleeve logo can be a second, smaller one. |
What to send us
We can quote once we know who wears it, which garments, how the logo goes on, the artwork, and how many of each size.

Say who will wear it
Staff, a club, event guests, or people who will buy the shirt. That decides a small chest logo versus a large back print.
- 2
List the garments
Tee, polo, hoodie, cap, or a mix. If some people need a polo and others a tee, say how many of each.
- 3
Choose print or stitch, and where it sits
Stitch if the same logo has to match across the set. Print if the design is a picture. You can stitch the chest and print the back. Just say so.

Send artwork and sizes
A logo file from design software for stitching or screen print. A high-resolution image is fine for a photo print. Give a size list for each garment (how many small, medium, large) and a few extras. We show a mock-up on the real colour, then you can browse apparel.
