Finden+Hales
Thirteen new teamwear styles plus increased availability
Published:  16 January, 2009

Teamwear is not a new concept: it's been around for many years in some formats. However, 2008 was the year in which teamwear suddenly was thrust into the spotlight and customers recognised the benefits of a range of fully interchangeable, sports-inspired clothing. Finden+Hales enjoyed a record 2008, and are predicting a steady growth in business for 2009. Teamwear is wearable sportswear: clothing for teams, clubs and societies who have a requirement to look united and cohesive. This is not restricted to sporting groups either: Finden+Hales are reporting healthy sales in other markets such as corporate-wear, staff uniforms and utility companies.

Finden+Hales is launching 13 new styles for 2009, increasing stock holding for improved availability, and strengthening the existing range via the introduction of colour and/ or new sizing. 2009 also sees Finden+Hales moving into teamwear accessories, with the launch of a bag and hat capsule range to offer the customer further opportunities to extend their team aesthetic.

New Products

  • Kids' Panel T (LV203): The most popular style of T in the Finden+Hales (adults) range now translated to fit and suit ages from ages 5/6 up to 13/14. This forms a perfect base for any sports team, club or society needing to kit out their younger and older members alike. Available in the key teamwear colours of black/red/white and navy/royal/white
  • Shoulder Panel T (LV204) A new T-shirt style in comfortable cotton. This new style features contrast shoulder panelling in addition to perfectly co-ordinating with the rest of the Finden+Hales range
  • Kids' Pullover Hoodie (LV339) Hoodies are here to stay and this new addition offers all the same comfort, fit and teamwear looks as shown by the adults version, but in ages 5/6 up to 13/14. Made in 80% cotton with 20% polyester ensuring easy care and great durability: essential teamwear requirements. This too features contrast panelling to co-ordinate with the rest of the range, but the Finden+Hales team have deliberately omitted the draw-cord at the hood to ensure that any younger team members avoid any potential draw-cord hazards.
  • Checkered Flag Polo (LV380); With a UK driver at the top of the Formula One rankings, it seems appropriate to celebrate the fantastic interest in all things fast, and introduce a racing-inspired polo. This 100% cotton classic polo features chequered detailing on the collar and also at the ribbed cuffs and a bold contrast inner placket. As with all Finden+Hales products, the colour range is such that it guarantees mix'n'match possibilities with the rest of the Finden+Hales collection. We're also pleased to say that, if worn a size too small, there's apparently a "mod" element too!
  • Club Shirt (LV404); Let's not forget that teamwear doesn't need to be on a pitch, field or practice net. Finden+Hales is reporting very strong sales of teamwear to corporate customers seeking a cohesive look too. The new Club Shirt has been introduced to fully co-ordinate with the rest of the F+H range affording customers the opportunity for a totally connected look across all team members.
  • Team Soft Shell (LV620) Women's Team Soft Shell (LV621) The marketplace has accepted the Soft Shell concept with open arms, and recognised the advantages and versatility that the product type offers. The new Finden+Hales team soft shell: available for both men and women, is an exciting new look within this segment. The men's style features a welded chest pocket whilst, following research on women's pocket preferences, the ladies the pocket is kept on the arm. Both jackets feature two outer and two inner pockets. The Finden+Hales Soft Shell (obviously) features contrast panelling in keeping with its teamwear principles. All garments are easily embroidered or decorated.
  • Kids Plain Trackpant (LV822) After much customer demand, Finden+Hales has introduced a plain Trackpant for ages 5/6 to 13/14 into their range of microfibre track separates. Available in black and navy, the pants feature all the same design details as can be found on the men and women's garments (hem zips and drawcord toggles so they can be pulled on and off easily) with an elasticated waist for comfort.

Stop for a breather

  • Adults Team Cap (LV990) and Kids Team Cap (LV989). To top it all off, Finden+Hales have introduced an adults and a kids baseball cap. These feature the hallmark teamwear contrast panelling.
  • Team Shoe Bag (LV984): Another new accessory addition that makes perfect sense. A perfect addition to any team kit, it's made in durable, wipe-clean polyester and features contrast detailing and piping.
  • Team Daypack (LV985): A backpack/ rucksack which fits in completely with the Finden+Hales teamwear ethos in terms of style and colouring, but even more in terms of practicality. With numerous compartments to keep everything segregated and ordered, mesh pockets for water bottles, padded straps for comfort and both chest and waist straps to keep it all in place, this bag cannot fail to deliver performance with style.
  • Team Holdall (LV986): Large Team Holdall with contrast colour and piping details. Double zippered external pockets along length of bag. Interior mesh-lined zippered section. Comfort carry handle. Adjustable (removable) shoulder strap with padded slip-resist shoulder pad. Webbing Straps. Outer, zippered integrated shoe pocket. Integrated wipe clean cool bag. And 45-litre capacity.

Finden+Hales have also introduced age 13/14 across many of its kids products
