"We have been using this fantastic tool for a year now," said Stuart Gibbon, UKL's company buyer and Solutions expert, "but previously, we have always had to go to Russell for prices and lead times etc.

With this new version the customer can see the price as they build the garment."

To use the tool, log on to the UKL website, http://www.uklonline.co.uk/ and follow the ‘bespoke' links.

With an easy to understand user interface, the customer can design their own garment in minutes, based on one of the seven templates available (T-shirt, rugby, polo, sweat, fleece, shirt or trousers).

Once selected, customers can choose to work from one of the pre-formatted ‘inspirations' already supplied or they can start with a basic ‘no-frills' option and build on it from there.

There are options for fabric, body style, sleeves, cuffs, collars, pockets and piping, as well as a colour range and pantone colour reference option.

Solutions shows the user an estimated cost per garment, based on minimum quantities from Europe, Turkey and Asia. Detailed guide pricing by size and approximate lead time information is also available.

A jpeg of the client's logo can also be uploaded and added to the garment, and notes can be added and costs built in for embroidery and printing.

Once the design is saved the user can change the base garment to re-create a matching look with another type of garment, should their client request this.
