We know that consistency matters when you’re kitting out a team. That’s why we keep our AWDis range straightforward, focusing on the garments we know perform well and offer that predictability you need for reorders. We’ll guide you through the proofing process to ensure your logo placement and finish are spot on every time.
- Fabrics that wash well: We focus on specific weights and fabrics – like the 280gsm cotton-faced fleece or the 140gsm recycled performance polyester – because we know they wash and wear better than “similar” alternatives. It keeps the colour, feel, and logo consistency spot on when you’re reordering for new starters or next season’s events.
- Proof approval first: We work to a standard lead time (usually around 10 working days from approval) because getting the position, scale, and finish right is crucial before a single item is branded. This cuts out the errors – like off-centre logos or low back prints – and ensures the thread or ink looks exactly right on the fabric you’ve chosen.
- Branding that moves with you: We’ll always recommend the branding method that suits the garment best – embroidery on fleece, and transfer printing on performance wear. This stops designs cracking on stretchier fabrics and prevents heavy stitching from pulling lighter materials out of shape.
- Stability in everyday kit: We often suggest the 280gsm fleece for everyday wear because it holds its shape far better through commuting, lockers, and weekly washes. This prevents baggy cuffs and twisted hems, so your team kit doesn’t start looking tired a month in.
- Sizing that actually fits: We favour lines with broad size runs (often XS-5XL, plus women’s and kids’ options) so you can place one order that covers the whole team. This avoids last-minute swaps that can create obvious fit and shade differences across your “uniform”.
- Consistent quality: We monitor our supply chain closely so you don’t get a “close enough” substitute fabric or a shade that’s slightly off. We want to avoid those inconsistencies you only notice once ten hoodies are lined up next to each other.
- No greenwashing: We’re really clear about recycled and organic options and where they come from, so you can choose a story you can actually stand by. It’s important to us that we don’t attach vague eco wording to garments that don’t match exactly what you asked for.
A starting point, not a limit: These are our benchmark garments because they give predictable results; however, if your budget and lead times allow, we can always source specific AWDis options for tighter colour matching or performance requirements.
