I just used to get my clothing professionally relabelled, not expensive and looks great.

white polyester ribbon is easy to sublimate, fold and then sew into garment
Spike you live in Nottingham, still plenty of factories - not as many as there were but still a few and in Leicester you could contact mairajkhan@hotmail.co.uk the family run a garment factory in Leicester and do a lot of their own dye sub garments. otherwise get a list of clothing manufacturers in Nottingham, and do a bit of foot work, but you will definitely be able to get them made up

Cheers folks. I might do that Mrs Maggot! I used to manage an account in my old worldwide logistics capacity for a company called Absolute Apparel. I believe his name was Khan. Maybe connected? Are they still going? A few times a year they would have MASSIVE shipments from places I can't divulge because of confidentiality reasons.
Why is it imperative to use Uk sourced Spike? Is this just a preference or a USP?

Apols Justin. I would rather employ British nationals.
No preference as to where they started life, my wife is Armenian. They are beautiful people. It borders Iran and whenever I go we go shooting/hunting over the border for BBQ food. Sorry for to any veggies I offend but I like still like meat!
Our production/manufacturing end of things has really died away and we need to help those that live here play a part. Not contract everything out as most do.

Uhm, not sure you could guarantee British Nationals in a UK based factory ;-) I'm all for supporting UK economy but not sure what your market will be, UK made shirts won't be cheap and very hard to justify when 99% of folk are only interested in price.

you could employ your own machinist either full time or on piece basis, this way you can employ them directly and make in-house, rather than contract out.
This is what we do.
I guess it's a me thing then Just. But that is what I'd prefer.
Pisq. I can't afford those overheads so I guess I'm struggling. Like Homer... D'oh... I can get racks of work.
