We have been embroidering clothing for over 10 years now so there’s not a lot we don’t know about making an embroidered logo look good on a garment. Operating in-house we use the very latest embroidery machine technology in the form of state of the art Barudan embroidery machines.

The quality and final outcome of an embroidered garment is dictated by many factors started by setting up the logo or text. This is why at JKL we ensure each and every embroidered logo is set up correctly before we even consider producing a swatch sample of the logo for approval. This process is often referred to as punching the design or logo and involves looking at the logo design, the type and weight of fabric it is going onto, and the optimum size of the logo to ensure that what is produced is the best possible outcome in terms of how the logo looks and how closely it matches the artwork and colours our customers have provided.

An important factor in producing the best possible embroidery is the artwork, the better the artwork, the better the embroidery will come out. High-resolution artwork will make a difference to the finished product.

After an order is confirmed, we produce a swatch sample for our customers to approve before we embroider the logo onto their chosen garments. At this stage the customer has the option to make any changes they require to get exactly the end result they are looking for. This may incur an edit charge.

Once approved it then comes down to the quality of the embroidery machines used and the skill of the machine operative to make sure the final embroidered garment looks as good as possible.

Built For The Job - Workwear At JKL Clothing

With the building and construction industry on the up, and more houses being built as a result, it is important that builders and tradesmen working in this sector have workwear that enables them to work in the worst weather conditions.

Working outside can be a pleasure during the summer months, but when winter arrives those working in the building trade need to have the appropriate clothing that will allow them to carry on applying their trade.

JKL  Clothing are proud to stock workwear from some of the top brands available including Portwest, Mascot, Snickers, Regatta and many more. Our collection of work trousers, jackets, overalls and other workwear clothing items mean that whatever your size or shape and whether you are a roofer, bricklayer or joiner you are sure to find exactly what you are looking for online.

JKL Facts - Corporate Clothing Buyers Guide

Buying corporate clothing can be a daunting task. Hopefully this brief guide will help you through the process and ensure you get the clothing you require. The following information is written to help both the individual looking for clothing to wear to the office and the corporate buyer sourcing a staff uniform for their business or organisation.

So, what do you need from your corporate clothing items? They need to be comfortable to wear. We are all different shapes and sizes and most of us have an idea of what we feel comfortable in. This is not a problem if you are buying clothing for yourself and JKL have categorised the different styles so you can quickly go to the type you require and select from that point. For example our Men’s shirts fall within either long or short sleeve so you can go directly to the type you wish to shop for. This is not so easy if you are selecting a shirt for everyone in the office to wear. Each person will have their own idea of what is comfortable and what they want to wear. Sometimes too much choice may not be a good thing and you will have to narrow down your options. We have tried to help you do this by identifying on our site garments that come in a male and female versions along with different style options such as fitted or shaped.

Once you have chosen your garment you will then need to select the sizes you require. Many of our product pages have a sizing guide to help you do this. Alternatively we recommend you order a selection of sizes for your staff to try on and then return them for a full refund once you have chosen the correct size.

We have also provided in the product description the fabric content of the clothing item. This is important so you ensure the item is machine washable and durable to stand up to daily wear.

An important consideration when buying a corporate staff uniform is stock levels and if it will be available in the foreseeable future. All the workwear within our corporate clothing section are stock items and therefore will not change within a minimum of 12 months. To help you with stock availability we have developed a real time stock level indicator. Once you have selected the colour and size requirement of a garment the current stock level is then shown on the product page.

There is only so much information we can put about a corporate clothing product onto a page and whilst we try to communicate the important features we appreciate you may want more information. This is why we have account managers who are more than happy to discuss your requirements in greater detail and provide further guidance on particular products and services. Our offices are open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday so please call us if you need any further help or advice.

Finally we come to personalisation. General clothing carries no tax benefits unless it is used wholly, exclusively and necessarily in connection with employment, in which case it is exempt from income tax. To qualify for this, the garment needs to be modified or customised to an extent that the tax office deems them to be eligible as a business expense. JKL Clothing can achieve this through embroidery or printing to produce logos, patches, badges or tax tabs. Ordering personalised printed or embroidered corporate clothing is straight forward and can be done in a number of ways. Each product page has a contact form at the bottom which you can complete and upload your logo. Alternatively you can add your items to the basket and proceed to customise before checkout, you can also complete our general contact page found at the bottom of every page on our site, or you can phone and speak to one of our advisors. Whichever way you contact us we will ensure you receive a complete itemised quote.

So how does the customised corporate clothing process proceed from the point of order? Once ordered we will contact you to confirm your logo details. We will then produce your logo and forward a sample of your logo or design for you to approve. Following approval we will then put your order into production. We aim to deliver your order within 10 working days from receipt of logo approval. We often beat this time and if you have a deadline to meet let us know and we will work with you to meet it.

Re ordering corporate clothing is a simple process. We will already have your details on file along with any logos you have had designed. Our only stipulation is that your order meets our minimum of 10 if you require any customisation. This can be made up of any garment style, colour or size.

We hope you have found this guide useful. As mentioned above we are available on the end of a phone so if you need help or are unsure about anything to do with buying corporate clothing, please get in touch and we will be happy to help and provide advice.

JKL Facts - Everything You Need To Know About Embroidered Polo Shirts

Our most popular embroidered item of clothing is undoubtedly the embroidered polo shirt. At JKL Clothing we have been embroidering polo shirts for over 15 years and in that time have seen a steady progression both in terms of the quality of the embroidery we are able to produce and the quality and choice of the polo shirts we are able to offer.

As a part of your staff uniform, team strip or promotional top the humble polo shirt is a winner on many different fronts. Casual, yet smart, comfortable to wear, easy to wash and iron and above all great at providing that first impression to clients, colleagues and the general public alike.

JKL stock and supply over 30 brands of polo shirt so we are sure you will be able to find the ideal one for your needs. With such a large range, we can recommend polo shirts based on colour, style, sizing or budget and one of our staff is on hand Monday to Friday.

Our staff have many years experience and can select polo shirts specific to our customers requirements. Many of the brands we stock have been around for a number of years, such as Fruit of the Loom, Gildan and Kustom Kit. Others are new to the market and offer a fresh new look and style.

The standard position for placing an embroidered logo or text onto a polo shirt is the left or right chest area. Here the logo can be the right size to show off any detail in the logo and also be in the right position to be seen. That’s not to say we can’t embroider in other locations. Many of our customers have logos or text on the sleeve along with the nape of the neck, which is particularly well suited to embroidering a web address.

We use Barudan embroidery machines which are renowned within the embroidery industry as some of the best machines available. There are many aspects that go into producing a quality embroidered polo shirt. The size of the logo is paramount to successful embroidery. Too small and the lettering and fine detail will either not be seen or look wonky and poorly drawn. Too large and the weight of the thread will drag on the polo shirt and pull it out of shape. In embroidery size does matter especially if you are working to a budget as embroidery prices are based on the number of stitches within the logo. Once again here at JKL Clothing we have experienced staff that can advise and recommend in regards to your logo and how it will appear when placed onto a polo shirt.

So how do you order embroidered polo shirts from JKL Clothing?

Online - Get a quote and place your order online using our state of the art web ordering system. Add the polo shirts into your basket; proceed to checkout where you will then be prompted to select which polo shirts you wish to embroider.
