Here he is again, our old friend French Terry. A type of fabric of course not a real person, but we like to imagine what you'd buy from him for cash don't we. A large bag of uncut Colombian Garlic perhaps, or a croissant. Either way, French Terry is where we go if we're thinking more high end and minimal. The inner is a loopback finish, so not brushed, making the garment feel slightly lighter than its heavy enough 350 GSM. These are very much for a certain type of brand, and a certain sort of discerning character. For those in the know perhaps. Less is very much more here, with the accent on detail and excellent finish. And embellishment needs to be very minimal to go along with the aesthetic - a tone on tone embroidery or high def woven badge, with an end fold couture style back neck label. It will go unnoticed by the many, and thank God for that bearing in mind they voted for Brexit. Yeah ok we know, the war's over man.

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.
