Custom Clothing Printing in Hull and East Yorkshire
By The Velocity Wear Team
For custom clothing printing in Hull, embroidered outerwear leads the demand — the city's port, offshore energy and marine-services sectors need kit that copes with wind and salt rather than merchandise. Velocity Wear produces from a 20-piece minimum with mixed sizes, delivered across Hull and East Yorkshire on a tracked service.
Kit for Wind and Water
Hull's Humber-side industries put a lot of people outdoors in genuinely exposed conditions, and that decides the specification more than any branding preference.
- Softshells rather than hoodies for outdoor work — wind resistance matters as much as insulation, and a hoodie provides neither.
- Embroidery over print on every outer layer, since there is nothing to lift when a garment is repeatedly soaked, dried and washed.
- Heavier fleeces as the mid layer, which hold warmth far better than thin ones for a modest cost difference across a run.
- Sizing that accounts for layering — outerwear worn over a fleece and base layer often needs to sit a size up.
Students and Community
The University of Hull adds a term-dated society and sports-club demand with wide size spreads and fixed deadlines, and the city's grassroots sport and community organisations order training kit and supporter merch seasonally. Those follow the usual logic: screen printing at volume with a limited palette, DTF for detailed artwork on shorter runs where screen setup would dominate the cost.
“"Wind off the Humber finds every gap a hoodie leaves open. That is the whole argument for a softshell."”
Minimums and Cost
Orders start at 20 pieces with sizes mixed freely inside the run, which suits kitting crews across several roles. Bulk discounts reach up to around 40% as quantities rise — and because softshells carry a higher per-piece cost than fleeces or polos, the absolute saving at volume is larger.

Lead Times and Artwork
Production begins at artwork approval. Embroidery and screen printing typically run around 10–15 working days from approval, plus 2–5 working days tracked delivery across East Yorkshire. Supply vector artwork, confirm exact colours, simplify fine detail for stitch, and preview placement and scale in the free Design Studio before approving.
