It’s really important that when we suggest winter merchandise, we pick kit the same way you would for your own team. We look for items that are going to be genuinely useful and stand up to the elements, rather than products that might let you down in wind and rain.
When you’re ordering for staff, guests, or clients, our job is to use our experience to take you from artwork to delivery without the usual headaches, backing you every step of the way.
- Dry-through shells: We would always recommend wet-weather shells with proper waterproof ratings (up to 8000mm), windproof layers, and sealed seams. It’s about making sure that if your team is outside for hours, the jacket stays wearable and your branding sits on fabric that isn’t soaked through. It’s a real boost to have kit that actually works.
- Heat-holding layers: Our choice is heavyweight mid-layers (up to 300gsm) and microfleece-backed fabrics because they trap warmth and act like a real comfort blanket on colder days. If you’re kitting out field staff or early-start crews, this keeps the mid-layer in rotation rather than left in a locker.
- Wash-proof branding: When you put your logo on a product, you want it to be perceived as really good quality. We steer apparel towards high-stitch embroidery and metal drinkware towards laser engraving because those methods don’t crack or peel after rain and repeat washing. If your kit gets worn weekly, this keeps your branding looking consistent.
- Wind-stable umbrellas: We curate umbrellas with storm-ready builds (including fibreglass frames) and generous print areas. This prevents snapped ribs and ensures your logo is visible, not tiny. If you’re handing them out at events, this keeps them useful in bad weather so they land well with the recipient.
- Date-safe lead times: We know lead time is a really popular question, so we put forward lines with clear production windows (from 5 days up to 28 days from artwork approval) and flag express options. If you’ve got a fixed date or an event coming up, this lets us help you choose items that can actually arrive in time.
- Proof-driven control: Our processes are very tight. We include artwork checks, proof approval, and tracking across multi-size, multi-SKU orders because we want to avoid any surprises with placement or sizing. If you’re ordering for more than one team, this keeps the delivery consistent.
- Traceable recycled fabrics: Sustainability is a real buzzword, so we include options made from GRS-certified recycled materials (including recycled nylon and recycled polyester) and we ask for origin details where available. It’s really important we don’t greenwash, so if your ESG team needs paperwork, this gives you something you can back up.
These benchmark products are the starting point for our winter suggestions. If your brief needs a tighter colour match to your brand guidelines, a different fit, or a higher spec material, we’ll take a consultative approach to source alternatives where lead time and budget allow.
