Bespoke garment design needn't be complicated. That's the message from Russell Solutions, which has revamped its bespoke offering to simplify the service and make it more user-friendly. Debbie Eales spoke to Russell Solutions' commercial manager, Jane Saba, about the new offering.

Beezer have been producing tailor-made garments alongside their stock and specials ranges for well over a decade, but the last few years have seen a sizeable increase in demand for a more indivdual look.

Personalisation of clothing has long since been regarded as a key requirement to developing a strong brand image, and a sense of identity. Blue Max, a leading supplier of clothing to the schoolwear, workwear and leisurewear industry has a long history in the development of bespoke clothing for a wide range of applications. 

If you can't find what you're looking for, Continental Clothing can make it for you in no time.

The made-to-order department offers bespoke T shirts and casual garments, with low minimum quantities, speedy delivery, competitive pricing, great customer service and award winning manufacturing facilities.

Edun Live are proud to announce nine new colours, all of which are 100% organic garments, from the cotton through the entire garment making process, topped off with GOTS certified ecological dyes.

In these difficult times the need to project an original image and to stand out from the crowd has become even more important than ever and that is exactly the business of Livingstone International, the bespoke arm of major distributor Prestige Leisure based in Livingston, near Edinburgh.

Mantis World work closely with customers to give them the greatest possible choice to meet their specific needs. Most customers can find what they want from stock.

While Ralawise offer over 1700 products in a wide array of colours, sometimes customers need something unique to let them stand out from the crowd or to satisfy the requirements of a workwear uniform.

"It's the attention to detail which I find surprises and delights customers," says Papini's CEO Gary Fisher when describing his bespoke garments.

"There is, for example, the ‘texturised rubber badging' on the micro-fleece jackets, which I've not seen anywhere else, or the channels for MP3-player cables in the jackets."

Russell Solutions believes designing and ordering garments of your choice should be simple. In fact, it really should be as simple as buying stock product.

For 2009, Russell Solutions have launched a new bespoke service, expanding their full service and adding a host of sales tools, to provide you with a complete solution; with the aim of helping you meet all your bespoke garment needs.

When times are hard, clients will start looking at cutting costs thus putting more pressure on your margin or forcing you to shop elsewhere.

But there can be an alternative option; you could offer a bespoke range of clothing. By selling on the uniqueness of a totally made to order range, not only will you be offering something different but you can claw back some of that lost margin.

Want something new and different? Need something special, in your unique colours? Looking for something to make your branding outstanding?

To those involved in branding or printing onto garments such as polos, T shirts, sweatshirts, and all the other standard fare, it always comes as a welcome thought to remember that there are alternatives to settling for the usual off-the-shelf answers.

A close working relationship with customers and suppliers forms the basis of UKL's B-Spoke service.

With 17 years experience within the distribution and garment industries UKL's B-Spoke service offers customers the real opportunity to offer something unique to their own customers.
