Basford zip hooded sweatshirt

The Blurb

Ah, now then, and crikey...zippy hoods. Good idea? Bad idea? Tough one. Not stay awake at night sweating and remembering Vietnam tough, but still. They don't sell as well as a pouch pocket hood you see - you might like them, but the stats are the stats. So why bother? It's a range builder perhaps, a point of difference to make you look like a bigger offering. In terms of embellishment maybe they lend themselves more to a minimal, discreet, high def woven badge on the chest? And if you do go down this road it is a good one. A mid weight 290 GSM in 80/20 anti pill fleece. The hood is lined for a nice warm head on a chilly day, the drawcord is tonal and thank God, metal tipped. We'd call this a regular fit, because we're allowed to make stuff up as we go along. We're not saying no to Mr Zippy, but just go easy on the numbers.

What next?

Make a cup of tea, that's usually a good start, and then once you're ecstatically, (or even moderately) happy with your quote, we'll most likely want to get into a little detail, so if a chat is ok, an email to info@october.co.uk with a phone number and a convenient time for you is handy - (can also be done by email only, if you're the dark and silent type).

We will run through your garment choices with you, making sure they will all work well for your chosen print or embroidery method; look at garment sizing, perhaps the tried and tested 1/2/2/1 split across S/M/L/XL; talk about choice of inks, water based, solvent based, discharge, digital etc, and ensure you're aware of all the pros and cons and make the right chemical decisions. Print or embroidery colours will be agreed, with pantone references if you have them. We will check overall artwork sizes, any font sizes, line details, tonal dot issues, and consider artwork positions – is 8cm down from the neck agreeable for you Madam?

When we're all happy with all that, we will assemble all your stock, make your artwork films and screens, run an embroidery disk for approval if required, and then give the option of coming into the factory for a print day, (where we can play with ink colours, ink textures, and artwork positions), or, if you're a Moisture Farmer living on the planet Tatooine and the commute is a struggle, we can print or embroider your garment onto a sample, pop it on one of our top in house models, and email you a nice pic of exactly what you can expect to receive. Back neck woven labels and high definition badges we would post out to you before running the bulk. Essentially, checks and balances all the way, to keep you nice and safe.
