Ordering

What is the minimum order for custom clothing?

Leather jackets: minimum 20 pieces per design, with orders of 10 accepted for a limited time. Other products: minimum 50 pieces per design, unless otherwise confirmed. Sizes are mixed freely inside a design's minimum, so you can test a design or kit out a small team without buying 50 of one size, and pricing gets cheaper per piece as the quantity grows.

Can I mix sizes in one order?

Yes. Sizes can be split however you need inside a design's minimum (50 pieces, or 20 for leather jackets, 10 for a limited time; polos and uniform lines run XS to 5XL). Send the size breakdown with your order, or collect sizes first and confirm them before production.

Can each garment have a different name or number?

Yes. Names and numbers can be printed or embroidered per garment inside the same run: send a list of names against sizes, and each piece is made to match. It is how leavers hoodies and team kit are usually ordered.

Production & delivery

How long does custom clothing take to make?

Production at Velocity Wear takes 10 to 15 working days once the proof is approved and the 50% deposit is paid; the remaining 50% is due once the order is ready to ship. Shipping time is additional, and delivery is charged on the weight and dimensions of the shipment. Allow time before that for the mockup, quote and any sample; those steps are usually what decide the delivery date.

Do you deliver outside the UK?

Yes. Orders ship with tracked freight to the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand. Delivery is charged on the weight and dimensions of the shipment: for 50 pieces it usually comes to £200–£250 to the UK, USA or Germany and £300–£400 to the UAE or Canada, with the exact figure set by the actual weight in your quote. Import duties, taxes and customs charges at destination are the recipient's responsibility.

Can reorders match the first order exactly?

Yes. Your garment, colours, logo and thread codes stay on file, so a reorder months later matches the original run. That matters most for uniforms, where new starters need to match the team.

Can garments arrive bagged and labelled?

Yes. Garments can be folded, bagged in branded polythene bags and size-labelled at the factory, so stock goes straight onto a shelf, a merch table or into a parcel.

Printing & decoration

Which is better, printing or embroidery?

Embroidery for logos on garments that are washed often — uniforms, polos, caps and outerwear — because it does not crack or fade. Printing for large, colourful or detailed designs, and for tees and hoodies where a stitched back would be heavy.

What is the difference between DTF and screen printing?

Screen printing uses one screen per colour and is the best value for bold, limited-colour designs at volume. DTF prints full colour onto a film that is heat-pressed on, so it suits gradients, photographs and fine detail.

Can you print on polyester sportswear?

Yes. Sublimation is the standard for polyester sportswear: the ink bonds into the fibres for an all-over print with no feel on the fabric. DTF also works on polyester for placement prints.

Fabric & sizing

What does GSM mean on clothing?

GSM is grams per square metre, the weight of the fabric. Higher is heavier. Tees typically run 150–240+ GSM and hoodies 280–450 GSM; heavier fabric feels more substantial and drapes like premium streetwear.

Full guide: GSM Explained for Bulk Towels →

What is the best fabric for custom t-shirts?

Combed, ring-spun cotton for a soft, durable retail tee, in a weight that suits the use: lighter for events and summer, 200+ GSM for a heavyweight streetwear feel. Polyester or blends suit sportswear and hard-wearing uniforms.

Do custom clothes shrink?

Pre-shrunk fabrics shrink very little. Wash inside out at the temperature on the care label and avoid high tumble-drying heat to keep both the fit and the print or embroidery at their best.

Your brand

Can you put my own label in the garments?

Yes. Private label means your custom woven neck labels, care labels, hang tags and branded packaging, with nothing of ours on the garment.

Can I start a clothing brand with a small order?

Yes. With a 50-piece minimum per design and sizes mixed freely, a first drop can be small enough to test demand. A paid sample first lets you check the fabric and finish before committing.

What are custom polythene bags for clothing?

Resealable zip-seal bags each garment is packed in, printed with your logo, with a hang hole for retail pegs and size stickers so the size reads without opening the bag. Each bag is sized to the folded garment, from 50 per design, ordered on its own or with an apparel run.

Is a poly bag the same as a mailing bag?

No. A mailing bag, or poly mailer, is the outer bag a parcel ships in, sealed with an adhesive strip. A garment poly bag is the inner, resealable bag that protects and presents each item, and it is the one Velocity Wear makes. Most online clothing brands use both.
