That's the whole name. OEM is what the factories call a maker that builds someone else's product to someone else's spec — and that's what we do for clubs and brands. There's no OEM catalogue to pick from. You turn up with a colour, a crest, a sketch on the back of a team sheet, and we turn it into a garment with your name in the neck label.
We've been doing it long enough to know where clubs get stuck: artwork that looks nothing like the sample, a size run that arrives short, a supplier who goes quiet three weeks before the first game. So we handle the messy middle — pattern making, sampling, production, quality checks, freight — and you deal with one person the whole way through.
Four to six weeks from artwork sign-off, with a check-in at every stage.
Who we kit out
Sports clubs
Rugby, league, football, netball, touch and basketball. Playing strip, reversibles, sideline layers and gear bags in one run.
Schools
House kit, first XV and premier sides, PE uniform and leavers' gear. Artwork stays on file so next year's order matches this year's.
Workplaces
Branded polos, softshells and hi-vis for staff, plus one-off runs for corporate tournaments and team days.
Events
Tournament shirts, volunteer tees and merch, printed and delivered to a fixed date.
Why clubs stay with us
No blank-garment guesswork. Everything is cut and printed to your design, so a club can add a player in week three and get the same kit as the rest of the squad.
Dye sublimated
Colour goes into the fabric, not on top of it. Numbers and sponsor logos don't crack, peel or fade through a season of washing.
One order sheet
Sizes, names and numbers come in on a single sheet. We check it against your squad list before anything goes to production.
Repeat runs
Patterns and artwork are kept on file. Top-ups ship in about three weeks and match the original run.
What we make
Four groups, all made to order in your colours. Mix them into one run to keep freight and setup down.
On-field
Jerseys, reversibles, playing shorts, netball dresses, socks and warm-up singlets. 160gsm interlock for contact sports, 140gsm micromesh for court and turf.
Training
Tees, singlets, training shorts, bibs and quarter-zip mid-layers. Lighter weight, same artwork as the playing strip.
Sideline
Hoodies, puffer jackets, wet-weather shells and track pants. Embroidered club crest, sublimated panels, names on the back if you want them.
Off-field
Polos, caps, gear bags and drink bottles for travel and presentation nights.
Fabric and finish
Cut and sew
Panels are printed flat, then cut and stitched, so designs run across seams without breaking.
Reinforced seams
Double-stitched shoulders and side seams on contact kit. Flatlock finish on anything worn next to the skin.
Names and numbers
Printed into the garment at no extra cost when they're supplied with the original order.
Our production network
We don't run one factory and squeeze every job through it. We run a small network of specialists and send each garment to the one that makes it best.
Sublimation house
Playing strip, training gear and anything with full-panel print. Dye sublimation, cut and sew, colour-matched to a printed standard rather than a screen.
Knitwear and outerwear
Hoodies, jackets and mid-layers, where fabric weight and stitching matter more than print. Embroidery is done in-house at the same site.
Headwear and bags
Caps, beanies and gear bags, made in smaller runs so you can add them to an order without lifting your minimum.
Sampling
Pre-production samples come from the same line that will run your order, so what you approve is what you get.
How we keep it honest
Every partner is audited for working conditions and pays above the local legal minimum. We visit each site ourselves rather than relying on a certificate, and we'll tell you which one made your kit if you ask.
Quality checks
Garments are checked at the factory against your approved sample, then again when they land with us: colour, sizing, stitching, names and numbers against your order sheet.
If something's wrong
We remake it. Faults from our side are replaced at no cost, and we'll air-freight the replacement if a game date is at risk.

How ordering works
About six weeks from first email to kit in the clubrooms. Here's the whole thing.
Tell us what you need
Sport, squad numbers, rough quantities and when you need it by. A photo of last season's kit is usually enough to get started.
We send artwork
A full mock-up of every garment in your colours, with crest and sponsor placement, plus a quote. Two rounds of changes are included.
You sign off
One person from the club approves the artwork and the price. Nothing goes to production until that's in writing.
Collect the size run
We send an order sheet for sizes, names and numbers. Sizing samples can go out first if the squad wants to try before committing.
Production
Four to six weeks. We'll flag it early if anything looks like slipping past your first game.
Delivered and sorted
Kit arrives bagged and labelled by player name, so handing it out takes minutes.
Get a quote
Send through your sport, rough numbers and the date you need kit by. We'll come back with artwork and a price within two working days.
