Men, you can wear this one if you want to. It's totally organic and unisex, and no one will question your ability to carry on head butting brick walls just for a laugh. It's still a respectable 350 GSM lads. But we wafted towards a female model here because the texture is just a bit more Rabbit's ear, in a washed, sueded, ring spun combed cotton (with a dash of recycled poly for durability). By the way, do you know what ring spun and combed means when it comes to cotton? No? Please Google, these descriptions are knackering enough. The sleeve is set in as you can see, with a 1 x 1 rib all around so the collars and cuffs match. And twin needled top stitching appears all over the place for a lovely neat finish. Final important note - we've gone for a semi fit look here, but if you want go oversized here's an inside naughty industry dodge...we get a medium, and we re-label it small so it comes up bigger. Keep that to yourself or we'll be back in fashion prison.
SHEHS
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.
