Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forum and I'm hoping I can get some help.

I'm a graphic designer (graphic design student I should say) getting into cycling and I have a project where I can design anything I want but I have to have it made and hand in the physical product. I would like to design a road cycling kit (jersey and bib shorts) for this project but I'm having a hard time finding a good company with a good template and reasonable prices. I'm also in ontario canada so a canadian company would be nice. If anyone knows of a good company that does 100% custom kits please let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Mike

Hi Mike

You should be able to give your design to almost any manufacturer who does custom clothing and they will be able to apply your design to their templates and produce the kit. The good companies are easy enough to find, I know of one 'good company' in Canada and several American companies. Besides that, most of the best clothing is made in Italy! Look there, the euro is weak, I wouldn't bother with anything made in asia or south america right now.

thanks for your help. I'm not really as concerned about the quality as I am the price at this point in time but it will be a factor in my choosing. What is the one good company in canada that you know of?

I've used Louis Garneau for the last two years to make the Jerseys I wear for the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, and they're amazing.

You can change whatever you want, however many times you want, and generally they're ok to get it done. If you start from scratch that is. I found out this year that if you want to alter your design for the coming season they limit the changes, BUT they also have really good deals early on in the new year to compensate for that minimilization. So it actually made sense to start a new package this year, rather than just adapting last years.

The customer service is impeccable, and the designers are awesome, and can tweak any idea you might have

Hope this helps

If you would consider to deal with European company - drop me a line. We use Italian fabrics and pads, 100% EU manufactured.
