Custom Clothing Printing in Lincoln and Lincolnshire
By The Velocity Wear Team
For custom clothing printing in Lincoln, agricultural and engineering workwear leads the demand — embroidered gilets, fleeces and softshells for businesses working outdoors across one of England's most rural counties. Velocity Wear produces from a 20-piece minimum with mixed sizes, delivered across Lincoln and Lincolnshire on a tracked service.
Farming and Land-Based Work
Lincolnshire's agricultural economy — arable farming, food production, agricultural engineering and land management — produces a very consistent apparel requirement: kit worn outdoors year-round in exposed, flat country with little shelter from wind.
- Gilets and bodywarmers, which have become the default branded layer for rural businesses — warm enough for most of the year without being too warm for physical work.
- Softshells for wind and light rain, which outperform hoodies substantially outdoors.
- Embroidery over print throughout, since kit is soaked, dried and washed constantly and a printed logo will crack.
- Darker colourways, which hold appearance far better than pale ones under mud, dust and sun.
Students and City Businesses
The University of Lincoln adds term-dated society and sports-club demand with wide size spreads, and the city's hospitality and independent retail order staff kit and small merch runs. Those are generally screen printing at volume or DTF for detailed artwork on shorter runs, rather than embroidery.
“"There is nothing between a Lincolnshire field and the North Sea. Buy the layer that admits that."”
Minimums and Ordering Ahead
Orders start at 20 pieces with sizes mixed freely inside the run. Bulk discounts reach up to around 40% as quantities rise, so ordering a size spread broader than current headcount is materially cheaper than small top-up runs later, each of which pays its own setup.

Lead Times and Artwork
Production begins at artwork approval, not order placement. Embroidery and screen printing typically run around 10–15 working days from approval, plus 2–5 working days tracked delivery across Lincolnshire. Supply vector artwork, confirm exact colours, simplify fine detail and small text for stitch, and preview placement in the free Design Studio before approving.
