    Plymouth Tri club also used Impsports and one of their members (chloe) designed the kit, they may be able to give you some advice/help with designs. They are a nice bunch and I'm sure they'll help you.

    Their website is http://www.plymouthtriclub.co.uk/index.php

    Also link to their forum re kit http://excoboard.com/exco/thread.php?forumid=100298&threadid=567224

    [:)]we probably will get them to do it. but we just wonderd if there was any other companys that could do such things for little clubs like ours it seems hard work trying to find someone to to club kit. just wondered if 220 could do a feature on the best companys doing club kit...

    Sheffield tri Club use [color=#0000cc]Lewis Kit[/color].

    Odd 'cause the web site doesn't show actual race wear.

    You can pretty much guarantee that if the set up fee is free, it will just be incorporated into the price of each garment. In which case you'll be paying for it everytime you buy something.



    We (Mansfield Tri Club) also use ImpSport, it took us ages to finalise the proof but if you stick with it, it's well worth the effort.



    A few lessons we learn't along the way:

    [ol][*]Don't use bright colours around the groin area. Lycra is very unforgiving and doesn't leave much to the imagination.

    [*]Check your proof carefully, like your life depends on it. Check it again, then get someone else to check it.. Twice. If in doubt, get some emails sent to the supplier.

    [*]Any questions, ask them BEFORE a box full of kit arrives on you doorstep.

    [*]Try and push for a sample before placing your first bulk order.

    [*]If you have blacks in your design, these are often made up by printing the black on a white material. When this is stretched it gives the appearance of being faded. Get any panels of solid black made with black material.

    [*]We asked for an 'off the shelf' sample made up from one of their standard patterns and produced our design to suit.

    [*]If you're having bespoke kit made, justify the expense by being adventurous with your design.[/ol]

    Thats absolutely 1st rate advice from "japzai" ! hope to get some sort of suit made up this season. Didnt realise there were so many pitfalls.
