Introducing the new garments
Hey all, now that we are finally back we can give some more details about the changes.
We’re glad to say that we’ve found a manufacturer of the garments that fits our needs. The fabric of the garments is amazingly premium, and are a much better quality over our previous suppliers. One of the things that we especially wanted to change was the GSM (Grams per Square Metre) which affects the thickness and stretchability, and weight. For the embroideries to be great we needed garments with a much higher count than our previous supplier could give as they can support our designs.
The garment suppliers based in Belgium are also very much in line with values we consider important such as sustainability and the impact on the planet while not compromising on comfort and quality. They use organic cotton only which ensures there’s no harmful products leaked into the ground or sky, meaning that the farmers’ and workers’ communities are safe and the water can be reused instead of wasted due to pollutants.
On the embroidery side, we have found a business that does this to a high level and are happy to work with them to produce the final product. They are UK based and have a great commitment to creating these pieces with their communication and expertise.
Overall the change has been successful and we’re looking forward to seeing the response from the new garments.
