At Steel City, we approach Regatta layers just like you’d kit out your own team: we start with the weather and the work, then choose a garment that won’t let you down halfway through the season.
When you’re ordering outerwear for multiple people, we want to make sure the process is tight. We help you avoid the usual headaches – like the wrong specs or messy embroidery – by controlling the choices and the proofing before a single stitch is sewn.
- Choosing the Right Layer: We take a consultative approach, starting with how you’ll use it. Whether it’s a 210gsm micro fleece or a waterproof taped-seam shell in Hydrafort 5000 polyester, we ensure you aren’t handing out a fleece for a wet job, or a heavy shell for an indoor day where it just won’t get worn.
- Embroidery That Lasts: We usually steer branding towards embroidery (up to 7k stitches) because it really stays put through wear and washing, rather than cracking or peeling like some prints can; our proof approval step means we catch any placement issues or awkward sizing before production starts.
- Real Weather Protection: If your team is working in proper rain, we prioritise taped seams, storm flaps, and adjustable hoods; that setup keeps the water out so the jacket doesn’t end up abandoned in the back of a van because it’s wetted through.
- Consistent Sizing: We stick to reliable size runs (typically XS-3XL / S-3XL) so your re-orders match your first batch; we want to avoid that frustration where the “same size” arrives looking different, ensuring your team looks smart and uniform every time.
- Fleece That Stays Sharp: We include quick-drying, anti-pill micro fleece options because they keep a smooth surface even after frequent washing; it keeps your embroidered logo looking crisp instead of sinking into a bobbly, fuzzy fabric over time.
- No Greenwashing: Sustainability is really important to us; where the product allows, we specify 100% recycled anti-pill Symmetry® fleece instead of vague “eco” claims, and if you need to show the credentials internally or to a client, you’ve got clear material facts to point to.
- The Right Starting Point: We use these specs as a baseline because we know they work; however, if your brief needs something specific, our team can use our experience to source alternative fits, weights, and branding placements that match your budget and goals.
